John Honai (2015) (Malayalam

The crowds that had gathered around to watch the late night show of 'John Honai' were surprising, since here was a film that had appeared out of the blue with minimal publicity, and which had yet managed to rake up the interest of a few viewers.
When half of them walked out of the theatre by the time the interval card came up, it was obvious that they had expected a sequel to the 'In Harihar Nagar' series, and were plain dejected that the film had audaciously adopted just a recognizable name to generate some curiosity.
Thus, 'John Honai' has nothing at all to do with the much adored Siddique - Lal film, and instead brings in a new character named Honai (Siddique), who apparently is some dreaded goon, roaming around with his two dim-witted aides (Kottayam Naseer and Kalabhavan Shaju). They are in Dubai to redeem a few crores of rupees that they had lost to three youngsters, John, Jaffer (Kalabhavan Navas) and Janardhanan (Sreekumar).
It's another matter altogether, that 'John Honai' has managed to bring in all the familiar faces from 'In Harihar Nagar', though individually each of them gets to play a role that has nothing to do with the original comedy film that is considered a classic in its genre.
