Wikipedia article
'Cheriya Lokavum Valiya Manushyarum' is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language comedy caper film directed by Chandrasekharan and written by T. A. Razaq and A. R. Murukesh from a story by Chandrasekharan. The film stars Mukesh, Innocent, Jagathy Sreekumar, Mamukkoya, Thilakan, and Sreeja. 'Cheriya Lokavum Valiya Manushyarum' is the first Malayalam film to depict the psychedelic drug LSD.
Plot
The story is about four thieves-turned-philanthropists, Abu (Mamukkoya), Balu (Mukesh), Rokky (Innocent), Sugunan (Jagathy Sreekumar), starting from the time they were thieves. They cross paths by chance and join forces leading to a robbery attempt at a house that goes awry but leads to their reformation at the hands of the house owner who himself is a robber-turned-philanthropist. The plot also shows how Karunan (Thilakan) spurs them into robbing the corrupt rich and giving to the poor, in the mould of Robin Hood, portraying two such gutsy episodes; first bringing to book a treacherous money lender Sunny (played by Shivaji) and next an unscrupulous business man and drug-dealer Madhava Menon, played by Babu Namboothiri. The second episode culminates in the murder of an accomplice of Madhava Menon, Dr. Narendran, played by Kollam Thulasi, at the hand of one of the four heroes, but Thilakan owns up to the murder so as to exonerate him and let the good work continue.
