Hridayathil Sookshikkan is a 2005 Malayalam-language romance film directed by debutant Rajesh Pillai.[1] Produced by Bose Varghese, the film had Kunchacko Boban and Bhavana playing the main characters.[2] The plot was loosely based on the 2000 American film Meet the Parents.[3] The film's soundtrack was composed by Mohan Sitara.[4]
Sreenath works in an advertising firm in Bangalore. He meets a model Amritha and falls in love with her. He tries to win her over but she says he has to get father's approval first. Sreenath and Amritha go to their village in Kerala to influence him and win over her parents. But things go awry after Amritha's father starts hating Sreenath due to his hyperactive and overenthusiastic nature. After all, his efforts to win him over go in vain.
The music was composed by Mohan Sitara and released under the audio label Satyam Audios.[5]
A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "To sum up, “Hridayathil Sookshikkan” is an avoidable film by all parameters".[6] A critic from webindia123 wrote that "The story doesn't have any originality and has some similarity to the English movie Meet The Parents. The movie pretends to be about a love story of a young couple but the director keeps that theme on the surface and brings in a family drama which spoils the whole thing. It is a silly movie with a silly theme".[7]
The film premiered on Mazhavil Manorama on November 6, 2015 at 1:00 p.m.[8]
