Hats off to director Ranjith .Excellent story telling.The movie centers around the fictious conversation between St.Francis and the businessman Francis (Pranchiyettan).He is a successful businessman who grown from a small rice shop.But the name got struck with the people i.e Ari (rice) Pranchi.The three main characters Prachiyettan,omana(Kushboo) and Jose(Siddique) are friends from their school days, Pranchi loved Omana but he lost her to Jose who is his rival in everything.But the director makes a beautiful relationship between them when they grew up,still they are friends, completely trust one another - a delicate one.
C.Francis(Mamooty) did not like people calling him 'Ari Pranchi', so he started involving in charities and helping people to make name of himself. But whenever he tries to popularize his name he fails.The efforts that he makes with his friends specially with vasu menon are hilarious: he tried to 'buy' Padmasree award for himself,opening a jewelery shop and the episode of cultural club election, these scenes will definitely brings laughter to anyone.
He is very upset with these failures but the arrival of the lady Padmasree changes his mind.He helped Padmasree to regain his house by paying huge amount.He started romancing her but not strong enough to expose his love and she leaves to Mumbai.
When Pranchi hears that the school headmaster fears that the school will not get 100% result due to one student called Paulie who is not studying properly. He takes control of Paulie and provides him food and accommodation. He wants him to pass the exam and arranges special tutor Pandit Deenadayal to teach him. After first day's lesson,the tutor found out that the boy is brilliant than he expected.He tried to teach him differently (using Rubik's cube, Yoga ) but he fails.He informs Pranchi that Paulie is a brilliant student but lacks concentration and gave up.when the examination results comes Pranchi is shocked and angry on Paulie,who failed in the examination.He took the boy to his home but no one is there and he finds the story behind the Paulie's family.The rest of the story tells how Pranchi helps Paulie ...
St.Francis ask him to close his eyes and think of others(Omana,Jose and Padmasree), he finds out what will happen to them.He is very happy that Padmasree is decided to get marry him.

| Master Ganapathy (Pauli) |
Mamooty as Francis aka Pranchiyettan is excellent.No wonder why he is one of our best actor.Innocent as Vasu Menon, close friend of Pranchi has done a wonderful job.He is a class act!Priyamani as Padmasree is good(not much to do).Khushboo as Dr.Omana and Siddique as Dr.Jose as usual has done their role with perfection.Master Ganapathy as Pauli is a find of this movie, he is on his own, great acting skills.Jagathy Sreekumar as Pandit Deenadayal is hilarious,he is one of a kind.I liked the background score by Ouseppachan. Another feature of this movie is cinematograhy,wonderful work by the National award winner Venu.He brings the life to the events occuring in Prachi's life.
