Cheriya Lokavum Valiya Manushyarum (transl. Small world and big humans) is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language comedy caper film directed by Chandrasekharan and written by T. A. Razaq and A. R. Murukesh from a story by Chandrasekharan. The film stars Mukesh, Innocent, Jagathy Sreekumar, Mamukkoya, Thilakan, and Sreeja. Cheriya Lokavum Valiya Manushyarum is the first Malayalam film to depict the psychedelic drug LSD.

Plot[edit]

The story is about four thieves-turned-philanthropists, starting with the time they were thieves, how they meet together by chance and join forces, finally leading to a robbery attempt at a house that went awry but led to their reformation at the hands of the house owner who himself was a robber-turned-philanthropist. The thieves are played by Mukesh, Innocent, Jagathy Sreekumar and Mamukkoya, and philanthropist by Thilakan.

The plot also shows how Thilakan spurs them to rob the corrupt rich and give to the poor, in the mold of Robin Hood, portraying two such gutsy episodes; first bringing to book a treacherous money lender Sunny (played by Shivaji) and next an unscrupulous business man and drug-dealer Madhava Menon, played by Babu Namboothiri. The second episode culminates in the murder of an accomplice of Madhava Menon, Dr. Narendran, played by Kollam Thulasi, at the hand of one of the four heroes, but Thilakan owns up this murder so as to exonerate him and let the good work continue.
