Pranchiyettan and the Saint (2010) – Malayalam Movie

A satirical comedy-drama directed by Ranjith.

The film follows C. E. Francis a.k.a. Pranchiyettan (Mammootty), a wealthy yet insecure rice merchant from Thrissur. Despite his riches, he longs for social respect and recognition. Through a series of humorous and touching incidents — and his imagined conversations with Saint Francis of Assisi — Pranchiyettan’s life unfolds as a poignant reflection on success, identity, and what truly matters in life.

With its witty storytelling, cultural flavor of Thrissur, and a career-defining performance by Mammootty, the film has become a modern Malayalam classic.
