Plot[]

Preman (Fahadh Faasil) is the caretaker of a flat at Cochin. Everyone in the flat calls him 'Natholi'. He faces some unfortunate events in the flat and begins to write a story with the same characters in his real life and plays with their lives in his story. The film revolves around the story of the conflict between Preman and the character he creates. He gradually loses control over the character he creates and it begins to act on its own. The rest of the movie is a display of Preman trying to wrest back control of his character and the ensuing plot twists.

Reception[]

The film opened to mixed reviews from critics. But the word of mouth was negative. Sify.com says "Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla is witty and hooks you straight into the narrative with its inherent charm. It's not at all like what you have seen in Malayalam before and it is imperative to applaud the sincerity of the makers. Don't miss this one, if you have an eye for the unconventional."[5]

Paresh C Palicha of Rediff.com says that "Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla has to be watched for its whackiness and unadulterated laughter. Don't miss it."[6]

Veeyen of Nowrunning.com wrote 'Natholi' isn't a consistently enjoyable film that you would fall in love with over the weekend. It does prod your thoughts however, and keeps you intellectually engaged. Small fish it certainly ain't; but then, it ain't really big fish either.[citation needed]

Smitha of Oneindia.in says that "You might or might not like Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla, but watch it for something different than usual."[citation needed]
