A year after its theatrical release, the Malayalam comedy-drama Iyer in Arabia, starring Dhyan Sreenivasan, Urvashi, and Mukesh, is finally making its way to the digital world. The film gained attention for its humorous take on family dynamics, faith, and cultural shifts, and will soon be available for viewers to enjoy from the comfort of their homes.
The film tells the story of Sreenivasa Iyer (Mukesh), a retired government worker with strong religious beliefs. He lives with his wife, Jhansi Rani (Urvashi), who is an atheist, and their son Rahul (Dhyan Sreenivasan). When Rahul moves to Dubai for a job and starts dating a woman from a different religion, Iyer’s beliefs are challenged. He and his wife travel to Dubai, where Iyer begins to change his rigid views and adapts to the new environment. The movie handles these themes of religion, generation gaps, and shifting values in a light-hearted manner.
