Love In Singapore is a 2009 Malayalam movie by Rafi Mecartin which had Mammootty in the lead role.

Plot and setting

The movie stars Mammootty as Machu, an orphan who became rich by selling scrap. The prime location for the film is in a large hall at a bottle recycling factory in Kochi. Machu starts off rather humbly but soon gets rich. Now his scrap business has branches all over India. Machu, who is uneducated, keeps a low profile and prefers to hang out with his two friends, Shukkoor (Salim Kumar) and Narayanan (Bijukuttan). His life changes when Andrews Perreira (Nedumudi Venu), an Anglo Indian investor cheats machu into investing all his wealth into Perreira's investment company. Perreira acts as if he tried to commit suicide to give his investment fraud a lively touch. The innocent investors, including Machu, believe this and forgive Perreira, believing it wasn't his fault. The movie takes a wild turn when Machu meets Perreira's daughter, Diana, and wishes to marry her. But Perreira betrays Machu again by interchanging his daughter with his neighbour's daughter, an old friend of Machu's. On the wedding day, all falls apart as Machu and his friends goes to confront Perreira for his crimes, but Perreira with his daughter had already escaped to Singapore. Then the movie goes into utter humour as Machu and his sidekick (Jayasurya) tries to locate Perreira and Diana in Singapore.

Tamil and Telugu actor Navneet Kaur is the heroine. She plays the role of Perreira's daughter, Diana. "The character comes from a rich family and has lived in Singapore. So we decided to go for someone who looks cosmopolitan," says the director duo[1] regarding their choice. Apart from Kochi, the other locations for Love in Singapore are at Karaikudi and Singapore.

Reception

The movie was a disaster and was a commercial and critical failure. Though it was a comedy relief it failed to regain its budget.

gollark: JS says that 0/0 is NaN and 1/0 is Infinity because why *error* if someone does an invalid thing, or why even be consistent about it?

gollark: ASRock always has cool but ridiculously niche stuff like that. Like the X299 mini ITX board and IPMI-capable X470 one.

gollark: I think that just makes garbage collection multithreaded.

gollark: Technically, you *could* use PingFS as swap.
