Harikrishnans is an Indian Malayalam language comedy-drama film released in 1998, directed by Fazil and starring Mammootty, Mohanlal, and Juhi Chawla in the lead roles. The film revolves around two childhood friends, Harikrishnan (Mammootty) and Krishnanunni (Mohanlal), who fall in love with the same woman, Maya (Juhi Chawla). The plotline of the movie is a blend of romance, comedy, and suspense that makes it one of the most entertaining movies of Malayalam cinema.

The movie begins with Harikrishnan, an advocate by profession, persuading a couple, Sudhakaran and Radhika, into marriage. He shows them the true value of love and convinces them to marry without any fear of societal norms. After the successful marriage, Harikrishnan receives a letter asking for his help to solve a property dispute in Kanyakumari. He, along with his assistant Gopalakrishnan (Cochin Haneefa), travels to Kanyakumari and meets Krishnanunni, who is also present to solve a property dispute.

Harikrishnan and Krishnanunni were childhood friends who parted ways after an unfortunate incident. They were not on speaking terms for quite a while, but the property dispute brings them together. However, their friendship gets complicated when they both fall in love with Maya, who comes to Kanyakumari to sell her family property. Both the characters try to impress her in their unique ways, leading to many comical situations.

The love triangle creates several humorous moments throughout the film, giving the audience plenty of reasons to laugh. The characters' performances are impressive, with each playing their part perfectly. Mammootty, one of the most celebrated actors of Malayalam cinema, is at his best in the role of Harikrishnan. He portrays his character with finesse, humour, and emotional depth. Similarly, Mohanlal does an excellent job as Krishnanunni, who is very different from Harikrishnan in terms of personality. He brings charm and wit to his character that makes it hard not to like him.

Juhi Chawla, who debuted in Malayalam cinema with Harikrishnans, plays Maya, the love interest of both the protagonists. Her beauty and acting are sure to steal the audience's heart, and her chemistry with both the actors is remarkable. The trio's on-screen presence creates a magical combination that keeps the audience hooked throughout the film.

Apart from the love triangle, the film also has an underlying suspense element that adds to the movie's excitement. The property dispute turns out to be much more complex than expected, leading to several twists and turns. The climax is bound to surprise the audience with its unexpected revelations, making the movie a complete package of entertainment.

The movie's music is also exceptional, composed by the legendary music director Ouseppachan, with lyrics by Gireesh Puthenchery. The songs of the film, including "Raakkilithan," "Pilachu Krushin," and "Aareyum Bhava Gayakanakki," became instant hits and still remain popular among music lovers.

In conclusion, Harikrishnans is a must-watch movie for Malayalam cinema lovers. Its perfect blend of romance, comedy, and suspense, along with remarkable performances by Mammootty, Mohanlal, and Juhi Chawla, makes it one of the most entertaining movies of its time. The film's music is also a treat to the ears, making it a complete package of entertainment. If you're in the mood for a great film that will leave you smiling, Harikrishnans is an excellent choice.
