Pattanapravesham (English: Town Entry) is a 1988 Malayalam screwball comedy film directed by Sathyan Anthikkad and written by Sreenivasan. It is the sequel to Nadodikkattu and follows the story of Dasan (Mohanlal) and Vijayan (Sreenivasan) who are now CIDs and are investigating a homicide case. The film was produced by Siyad Koker under the banner of Kokers Films.

Just six months after the events of the prequel, C.I.D. Ramdas (Mohanlal) and C.I.D. Vijayan (Sreenivasan) are called to Kerala to solve the murder of a police officer. The two incompetent and clueless men find themselves facing a dangerous crime syndicate led by Prabhakaran Thampi (Karamana Janardanan Nair) that deals in drug trafficking. In addition, Anandan Nambiar (Thilakan) who is the man they put behind bars in Nadodikkattu escapes from jail. The film was a critical and commercial success. In 1990, Priyadarshan made a sequel titled Akkare Akkare Akkare.

The film starts with Ashoka Varma (Prathapachandran) a police officer, trying to prevent smuggling and drugs exporters. On the night he found the crucial evidence needed, he was murdered in his house. To find the murderer Kerala Home Minister (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) invites C.I.D. Ramdas aka Dasan (Mohanlal) and C.I.D. Vijayan (Sreenivasan) to Kerala.
