French Viplavam is a Malayalam comedy movie, which marks the directorial debut of Maju, starring Sunny Wayne, Lal, Chemban Vinod Jose, and Arya Salim. It was released on 26 October 2018. From the very first shot to the last one the film lacked any elements which would enable it to be called as a film.[1]

The film received negative reviews from critics.[2]

Plot

The film revolves around a group of innocent villagers in a calm village known as KochuKadavu കൊച്ചുകടവ്, which happened in 1996 after the arrack ban in Kerala. The scenes are based on the escapades of a few characters who are desperate to have a drink, all the time.

Patta Sisupalan owned an arrack shop, which he had to close down due to the ban. Satyan is a youth fooling around with his gang of friends and is in love with Sisupalan's daughter.[3]

The story goes along without any definite direction until a twist happens with a foreign lady's arrival with a bottle of French wine.
