In Harihar Nagar is a 1990 Malayalam-language comedy movie directed by Siddique-Lal and produced by Mani C. Kappan. The movie features an ensemble cast including Mukesh, Siddique, Jagadish, and Ashokan. The movie narrates the comical misadventures of four friends - Mahadevan (Mukesh), Govindan Kutty (Siddique), Appukuttan (Jagadish), and Thomaskutty (Ashokan), who are inseparable and live in a rented house in the Harihar Nagar locality of Kochi.

The movie opens with the four friends betting on Pappan's (Janardanan) ability to walk through a haunted house at night. The friends follow Pappan and witness him getting scared by some paranormal activity. This sets the tone for the rest of the movie, which is filled with similar comic situations and hilarious pranks.

Mahadevan is an unemployed graduate who is trying to make it big by participating in a lottery. Govindan Kutty works as a compounder in a veterinary hospital but dreams of becoming a film director. Appukuttan is a cook, who lives with his pregnant wife. Thomaskutty, who is the most naive of the four, works as a photographer's assistant.

Their lives take an interesting turn when Cynthia (Geetha Vijayan), a beautiful and charming young girl moves into the neighborhood. All four of them are smitten by her and try to impress her in their own ways. However, Cynthia has her own set of admirers, including Shanthanu (Cochin Haneefa), a local goon, who is also interested in her.

The movie takes a hilarious turn when the four friends realize that their landlord (Rizabawa) is in love with Cynthia and is planning to propose to her. In order to prevent this from happening, they decide to create a fake love letter, in which Cynthia apparently writes to Shanthanu, telling him that she loves him.

The confusion and crazy situations that follow make up the rest of the story. From trying to retrieve the love letter to pretending to be assassins hired by Shanthanu, the four friends get deeper and deeper into the web of lies and misunderstanding. The climax of the movie involves a huge fight sequence between the four friends and Shanthanu's goon squad.

The movie is known for its hilarious comedy and engaging storytelling. The chemistry between the four friends is excellent, and they share a great camaraderie on-screen. The songs in the movie, composed by the duo of Ouseppachan and Raveendran, are popular to this day, especially the hit number "Olanjali Kuruvi."

In Harihar Nagar was a blockbuster hit and has achieved a cult status in the Malayalam movie industry. The movie spawned two sequels, 2 Harihar Nagar (2009) and In Ghost House Inn (2010), but neither could replicate the magic of the original.

Overall, In Harihar Nagar is a must-watch for anyone who loves Malayalam comedies. The movie's memorable characters, witty dialogues, and rib-tickling humor make it an all-time classic.
