Paappi Appacha (Malayalam: പാപ്പീ അപ്പച്ചാ) is a 2010 Malayalam action comedy film starring Dileep, Innocent, and Kavya Madhavan. It was written and directed by Mamas, and produced by Anoop. The film released in April 2010 in Kerala on more than 70 screens. The film also marked the debut of director Mamas. Lead characters in this movie have a similar life style of the comedians in the Paappi Appacha song of the 1972 Prem Nazir movie Mayiladum kunnu.
Paappi Appacha is the story of a father and son duo, Nirappel Mathai (Innocent) and Nirappel Paappi (Dileep). They live like close friends and they get into all sorts of mischiefs in their village, Ithirikkandam, accompanied by Paappi's aide Kuttaappi (Dharmajan). Even though the villagers are very fond of the Nirappel family, the adept father and son duo have a hard time keeping up their image of a prosperous family. Annie (Kavya Madhavan) works as a teacher in a local school and Paappi is in love with her, though Annie does not like him. It is because despite being very close friends, she was humiliated by Paappi himself, in one of their school days. Also Paappi quit schooling while at the 9th grade, leaving him an illiterate image, just like his father, in front of her. Paappi's mother Maria (KPAC Lalitha) and younger sister Mollykkutty (Manju Raghvan) also like Annie very much and wants her as Paappi's wife. But the foolishly casual lifestyle of the Nirappel men caps the ladies' wish into a mere distant dream.
In the meantime, a businessman named Manikkunju (Suresh Krishna) comes to the village, which creates a lot of problems with the Nirappel men. Meanwhile Annie, with support of Shashankan Muthalali (Ashokan), who is rather inept, yet envious about the apparent prosperity of the Nirappel family, and fellow school colleague Dasan maash (Rajeev) stands against Paappi in Panchayath election, to teach Paappi a lesson about social responsibility. Despite Paappi's best efforts, Annie wins the seat and becomes Panchayath President, leaving Paappi in a further shameful, yet a humble image in front of her.
