The story follows Abdullah (Mohanlal), a low-life qawwali singer in Bombay, who is hired by members of a wealthy royal family to assassinate their family head, Maharaja Udayavarma (Nedumudi Venu). Abdullah enters the royal palace under the disguise of a Brahmin classical singer, Ananthan Namboothiri, and tries to use this cover to assassinate the king.
His Highness Abdullah was the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year. Nedumudi Venu won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Maharaja Udayavarma. Raveendran won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Music Director, and M. G. Sreekumar won the National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song Naadaroopini. The concept of the film was later used in the 2009 Tamil movie Aadhavan, 2015 Kannada comedy Raja Rajendra and the 2016 Bengali movie Shikari.
