&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie starts with Mukundan ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]) as a cab driver in Mysuru, Karnataka. He meets Hema ([[Samyuktha Varma]]) during a trip arranged when Hema, who works as a drama artist, got held up midway in late night due to the troupe bus breaking down. A friendship grows between them. Later Mukundan shifts his residence to the area where Hema lives due to his roommate&#039;s bad behaviour. One day when Mukundan reaches to pick a trip from a lodge he finds his client ([[Biju Menon]]) in a serious condition after a suicide attempt and Mukundan saves his life by the prompt action of calling emergency medical services. There he meets the family of Biju Menon which reflects a wonder in him and finally goes through a flashback in which Mukudan&#039;s ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]) past as a Bank Field Officer in a remote Karnataka village is narrated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through a series of events he meets and falls in love with Radha ([[Kavya Madhavan]]) and plans to get married. But her brother ([[Lal (actor)|Lal]]) without knowing the relationship, plans for marriage of Radha with Biju Menon, who is her Lecturer in  College. Mukundan falls into a trap conspired by a local goon and money lender, Mukundan&#039;s boss (who is on suspension for misappropriation of bank money) and Radha&#039;s father gets arrested by the police on charges of cheating the bank. Without knowing the truth and the fact that Mukundan is innocent, Radha is forced to marry Biju Menon. In a fight, it occurs that Mukundan comes back to the village when he gets bail, the local goon, Thimmaiah, (acted by Meghanathan) is killed and Radha&#039;s brother goes to jail taking the responsibility. Mukundan loses his job and works as a cab driver for a living. We meet Radha again at hospital as a guilt-stricken wife who cannot transform as a wife in the full and true sense as she still longs for Mukundan deeply. Due to this negligent behaviour of Radha, Biju Menon tries to commit suicide and is brought back to life by Mukundan during the start of the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming to know the miserable condition of Biju Menon, Mukundan decides to fake a marriage with Hema and asks Radha to forget him and start a new life as a responsible wife admitting the change in their lives made by fate. A heartbroken Radha understands the situation and goes into the arms of Biju Menon. After Radha&#039;s parting, Mukundan asks Hema to give back the Thali (nuptial pendant), Hema becomes emotional and Mukundan and Hema decide to enter into family life and walk down the temple on a hilltop where the marriage was set as a drama, which turned to a real commitment, hand in hand.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Thilakkam&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{Translation|Glitter}}) is a 2003 Indian [[Malayalam]]-language [[comedy-drama]] film directed by [[Jayaraj]] and written by [[Rafi Mecartin]]. [[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]], [[Kavya Madhavan]] and [[Thiagarajan]] plays the lead roles. The rest of the cast include [[Nedumudi Venu]], [[K. P. A. C. Lalitha]], Nishanth Sagar,  [[Jagathy Sreekumar]], [[Cochin Haneefa]], [[Harisree Ashokan]], [[Salim Kumar]] and [[Bindhu Panicker]]. It was remade in 2012 in Kannada as &#039;&#039;Nandeesha&#039;&#039; starring [[Komal (actor)|Komal]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Padmanabhan master ([[Nedumudi Venu]]) and his wife ([[K. P. A. C. Lalitha]]) is waiting for Unni, their only son who is missing for many years. 10 year old Unni got lost in the crowd during a temple festival where he was along with his neighbour Panikkar ([[Oduvil Unnikrishnan]]), popularly known as Poorappanikkar. Panikkar too did not return since he decided to return only after finding Unni. Ammu ([[Kavya Madhavan]]) is Panikkar&#039;s daughter who also believes, like master and his wife, that her father will return one day with Unni. The master finds Unni ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]) after years and brings him back to the Village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The villagers realize that Unni is abnormal and is mentally challenged. He behaves like a small boy and creates all sorts of trouble for the villagers and his parents. His main hobby is to snatch dhothi from people. He  snatches the dhothi  after aiming at it with a [[hand gesture]] resembling [[Okay#Gesture|Okay gesture]]. This leads to a series of comical incidents in the village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is given Ayurveda treatment under the guidance of the church priest ([[Jagathy Sreekumar]]). Ammu looks after Unni, which her cousin Gopikkuttan ([[Nishanth Sagar]]) objects to, as he loves her. Meanwhile, Panicker returns to the village. Gopikuttan tries to turn Panicker against Unni. Eventually, Ammu starts to love Unni and waits for his recovery to marry him. But finally Unni gets back his memory only to let out the truth that he is not Unni but Vishnu, the son of a Bangalore don Maheshwar Thampi ([[Thiagarajan]]), from where the story starts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vishnu disapproves Thampi&#039;s lifestyle so he lives away from his father. He falls in love with Gauri and decides to marry her against his father&#039;s wish. Vishnu and Gauri&#039;s friends arrange a secret party for them. Thampi comes to know about the party and the place. He and his men attack the place. During the attack Gauri falls down even though Vishnu tries to save her. In the present, Thampi visits Vishnu and asks him to come home. Vishnu refuses initially but agrees to go along after Padmanabhan Master asks him to do so. At his home, Thampi introduces a bed-ridden Gauri to Vishnu. Gauri asks Vishnu to marry Ammu. The film ends with Vishnu marrying Ammu, and Krishnankutty ([[Harisree Ashokan]]), Unni&#039;s friend and village tailor, snatching his dhothi&lt;br /&gt;
