'''''Happy Husbands''''' is a 2010 Indian [[Malayalam]]-language [[comedy film]] directed by [[Saji Surendran]] and written by Krishna Poojappura. It is an official remake of the 2002 Tamil film ''[[Charlie Chaplin (2002 film)|Charlie Chaplin]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/mollywood-and-plagiarism-news-malayalam-mc3jD4aifid.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301205632/http://www.sify.com/movies/mollywood-and-plagiarism-news-malayalam-mc3jD4aifid.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-03-01 |title=Mollywood and plagiarism |publisher=Sify.com |date=2012-02-29 |accessdate=2013-10-29}}</ref> The film stars [[Jayaram]], [[Jayasurya]] and [[Indrajith Sukumaran]] in title roles with [[Samvrutha Sunil]], [[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]], [[Rima Kallingal]], Vandana Menon, and [[Suraj Venjaramoodu]] in supporting roles. The film completed a 150-day theatrical run.<br />
<br />
==Plot summary==<br />
Mukundan Menon ([[Jayaram]]) runs a newspaper called ''Kerala Today''. He is a normal husband who loves his wife Krishnendu ([[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]]) a lot, but she is too possessive about him. She thinks he is not very expressive about his feelings, and is always worried that he might one day fall for some other beautiful girl.<br />
<br />
John Mathai ([[Jayasurya]]) is a photographer in Mukundan's publication. He was neither interested in girls nor keen to get married until he met Sereena (Vandana).<br />
<br />
Rahul ([[Indrajith Sukumaran|Indrajith]]) is just the opposite. He is extremely romantic and never comes home without some cute gifts for his wife, Shreya ([[Samvrutha Sunil]]). But she doesn't know that, behind her back, her darling husband is dying to flirt with every woman that he sees.<br />
<br />
It is into the lives of these three couples that a bar singer, Diana ([[Rima Kallingal]]), arrives and things take some interesting turns. Diana is seeking to take revenge on Mukundan Menon since it was on his article in ''Kerala Today'' that the Maharashtra court took as a petition and then banned the bar girls in [[Maharashtra]], thus ruining Diana's profession.<br />
<br />
Diana forcibly comes to Mukundan Menon's house one day with her evil intentions and that catches the eye of Krishnendu. To escape from trouble, Mukundan Menon says that she is John's wife. Later, when John, Mukundan and Rahul are talking about John's marriage proposal to Serena's father, Diana comes there by accident. Rahul says that she is Mukundan's wife and she is mentally imbalanced. So now Krishnendu and Shreya think Diana is John's wife, and John's real wife Serneena believes that Diana is Mukundan's wife. At one time, all these people come together at Malaysia for a vacation. This leads to a lot of confusion among the wives and others and finally the wives realise the truth and thus leave their husbands. The husbands try many attempts to win their wives back but all their attempts go in vain. Finally Diana makes them understand their husbands' love for them and that it was the fear of losing their wives that made them lie. The wives forgive their husbands. <br />
