Ayal Kadha Ezhuthukayanu (English: He is Writing Story) is a 1998 Indian Malayalam comedy drama film directed by Kamal and written by Sreenivasan from a story by Siddique. It tracks the travails of wasted pulp fiction writer Sagar Kottapuram (Mohanlal) and his friend Ramakrishnan (Sreenivasan), who are dragged into a lawsuit by a vengeful Tahsildar S. Priyadarshini (Nandini).

Ramakrishnan (Sreenivasan), the newly appointed Tahsildar in the city, comes to take charge but he is blocked by Tahsildar S. Priyadarshini (Nandini). Priyadarshini is a strict officer and is much hated by the staff and associates in the Taluk Office. So they readily offer to help Ramakrishnan and arrange him a home next to Priyadarshini's house for him to stay during the interim. Meanwhile, Sagar Kottapuram (Mohanlal), a friend of Ramakrishnan and a novelist, comes to stay with him. But he mistakenly enters Priyadarshini's house, completely drunk, and sleeps in her bed. When Priyadarshini comes home she mistakes him to be a thief and calls the police, who arrest him. But the Local SI, being a fan of Sagar's novels, lets him off his charges. That night Sagar gets into a fight with Priyadarshini and vows to get her off her Tahsildar post within 24 hours. The next day Ramakrishnan himself assumes charge as Tahsildar according to Sagar's instruction. When Priyadarshini comes and sees this, she locks him inside the office room. Sagar finds out when he calls Ramakrishnan. He informs the press about the Tahsildar being locked inside the room by the previous Tahsildar. The press rushes to the scene, the district collector comes and suspends Priyadarshini. Ramakrishnan and Sagar celebrate their victory.
