Kakkakuyil is a 2001 Indian Malayalam comedy drama film written, directed and produced by Priyadarshan. It stars Mohanlal and Mukesh. Jyothika was selected as lead actress making her third collaboration with director Priyadarsan but was later replaced due to further commitments. The film was released on 14 April 2001.

Kakkakuyil was later remade in Telugu as Tappu Chesi Pappu Koodu (2002) and in Tamil as London (2005) by different directors.

The story of the film is adapted from the 1988 English film A Fish Called Wanda and the comedy sequences involving the blind couple from the Gujarati play Aaflatoon by Mihir Bhuta which itself was adapted from Harsh Shivsharan's original Marathi play Ghar-Ghar. These sequences went on to be used in the 2006 Hindi movie Golmaal.

Sivaraman (Mohanlal), an unemployed man, comes to Mumbai to find a job. Unfortunately he loses all his certificates but happens to find Govindan Kutty (Mukesh), who also is a jobless man (from Sivaraman's native place) wandering in Mumbai. They try to get visa from a travel agency but finds no way to gather such massive amount. Govindan Kutty persuades Sivaraman to participate in a bank robbery planned by Thomas (Cochin Haneefa) and his gang - his stammering brother Tyootty (Jagadish) and Alina (Sucheta Khanna) (who pretends to be Thomas' lover) - which puts them in more trouble as the robbery ends in vain when they hit Pothuval (Innocent). Alina secretly informs the police about the robbery and tells that the entire plan was carried out by Thomas. Thomas, before getting arrested, hides the money, and the place is kept secret except to his lawyer, Nambeeshan (Jagathy Sreekumar). Alina fakes to be in love with Nambeeshan to find the place where the money is hidden.
