Azhakiya Ravanan (English: Popinjay) is a 1996 Malayalam romantic comedy drama film directed by Kamal and written by Sreenivasan. The film is a rags-to-riches story of Shankar Das (Mammootty) who eventually gets drunk on his success. It also stars Bhanupriya, Sreenivasan, Innocent, Biju Menon, Rajan P. Dev, and Cochin Haneefa. The music was composed by Vidyasagar. Chirakodinja Kinavukal released on 2015 is a spin-off to this film.
Shankar Das (Mammootty) is a rich businessman who returns to his native village in (Alappuzha). No one in the village is aware of his past. During his childhood he was a servant of the local feudal lord Chatothu Panickar (Rajan P. Dev). He left the job after getting severely punished for kissing the lord's young daughter. He fled to Mumbai and there he became a successful businessman.
Now he has returned to his native village incognito. He is a very boastful man and revels in the praises showered on him by the sycophants. He reveals his identity to Ambujakshan (Sreenivasan), who is his childhood friend and an aspiring writer. He also confides in him his interest for Panicker's daughter Anuradha (Bhanupriya), who was his childhood infatuation. Ambujakshan succeeds in convincing Shankar to produce a film by telling him that it would help him to earn the respect of the villagers and win over Anuradha. Thus the production of the film starts under the direction of Sharath (Biju Menon), who is the love interest of Anuradha.
