Boeing Boeing is a 1985 Indian Malayalam-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Priyadarshan. It is a remake of the 1965 American film of the same name which was based on the 1960 French play of the same name.[1][2][3][4] The plot follows Shyam (Mohanlal) who is dating three flight attendants at the same time, and the scenario gets complicated with the arrival of his friend Anilkumar (Mukesh) along with other obstructions.
The film is regarded as one of the best comedy films in Malayalam cinema. The film was a blockbuster and remains one of the cult classic comic capers in Malayalam cinema. [5][6] It was remade in Telugu as Chilakkottudu (1997) and in Kannada as Nee Tata Naa Birla. Priyadarshan remade it in Hindi in 2005 as Garam Masala. The Mohanlal and Mukesh duo became popular after this film.[7][8]
