Arabeem Ottakom P. Madhavan Nayarum in Oru Marubhoomikkadha (Malayalam: അറബീം ഒട്ടകോം പി. മാധവൻ നായരും ഇൻ ഒരു മരുഭൂമിക്കഥ, English: The Arab, The Camel, and P. Madhavan Nair in a Desert Tale, also titled as Oru Marubhoomikkadha, abbreviated AOPM) is a 2011 Malayalam romantic comedy film directed by Priyadarshan.[1] The film stars Mohanlal, Mukesh, Lakshmi Raiand Bhavana in pivotal roles. The story written by Abhilash Nair is adapted from the Hollywood film Nothing To Lose.
Plot
P Madhavan Nair (Mohanlal) is a middle-aged man who has come to toil in the deserts of the Middle East to fulfil his responsibilities to his family of two younger sisters who must be married, and a father whose debt has to be paid. He has neither found the time to get married nor to have a life of his own.
It goes without saying that he is golden-hearted and honest to the core. So much so, that his filthy-rich boss (Shakti Kapoor), who splurges on expensive art (nothing less than Picasso will do), and beautiful women, shares with our hero the code of the locker where he stacks all his money, and promotes him to chief accountant.
Madhavan Nair falls for Meenakshi (Lakshmi Rai) who he meets in a jewellery shop, where they both select the same ring. As it happens, there is only a single piece and both are ready to sacrifice their choice for the other. They then spend the day together and cupid gets busily to work.
Going further with the story would be pointless; suffice it to say that a sidekick enters the story in the form of Abdu (Mukesh) and a cantankerous lady in the form of Eleena (Bhavana) taking us back to the good old Kilukkam days. It is the interplay of these three, for the most part, that acts as the proverbial glue that holds the film together.
There are other comic cameos by Innocent, Mamukkoya and the omnipresent Suraj Venjaramoodu in the latter half of the film. [2]
