The movie, which also stars Mukesh and Urvashi in prominent roles, began streaming on the popular South Indian OTT platform at 12 am on May 16. Iyer in Arabia is anticipated to amuse a wider audience on Sun NXT and OTTplay Premium, despite receiving mixed reviews after its theatrical debut.
In this film, veteran performers Mukesh and Urvashi take central stage and contribute enough humorous elements. The Varshangalkku Shesham actor, meanwhile, performs his role effectively.
What is Iyer in Arabia all about?
According to OTTplay's review, Iyer in Arabia, which is directed by M A Nishad, makes fun of a number of contemporary topics, like the generational divide and moral policing under the pretence of religion. The film is completely different from the director of No. 66 Madhura Bus's previous movies, which were mostly social dramas. Iyer in Arabia may amuse families with its own funny moments, but it is unable to conceal its minor flaws.
The main character of the movie is Sreenivasa Iyer, who, after willingly quitting the AG's office, experiences a profound change in his way of life. He befriends the wrong people who mislead him about cultural and religious conventions. His wife, Jhansi Rani, never stops attempting to refute his vague convictions. Rahul Iyer's connection with his father is strained due to protectiveness and Sreenivasa Iyer's orthodox approaches to parenting. However, their lives take a funny turn when Sreenivasa Iyer and Jhansi Rani decide to temporarily live with Rahul after he moves to Dubai for a job. The primary subject of the film is how Sreenivasa Iyer's time in this new city alters his perspective on life.
Other notable actors in the movie include Shine Tom Chacko, Durga Krishna, Jaffer Idukki, Sudheer Karamana, Sunil Sukhada, Maniyanpillai Raju and Biju Sopanam.
