Sulaikha Manzil

Sulaikha Manzil is a 2023 Indian Malayalam-language romantic comedy film directed by Ashraf Hamza under the banner Chembosky Motion Pictures. It stars Lukman Avaran, Anarkali Marakar and Chemban Vinod Jose in lead roles. The film was released on 21 April 2023 and received positive reviews from critics. Sulaikha Manzil is the final film to feature veteran actor Mamukkoya, who died on 26 April 2023. Plot The movie begins with a music video shot in a spoof-like manner, which can be related to the visual grammar of popular Malayalam music albums of the 2000s (a music single by singer Saleem Kodathur is used as the backing track, which can be traced back to the era). It can be seen that the lead actors of the movie (except Lukman Avaran) are acting in the song, where Haala is in love with a guy named Ashiq against her family's will, and eventually Ashiq dies in a road accident. Sameer, an NRI who works in the UAE, has been in search of a groom for his sister Haala for many years. Haala and Sameer are not on good terms for undisclosed reasons, and she rejects every proposal brought by Sameer. She finally agrees to marry Ameen, who also works in the UAE. Sameer and Ameen meet each other in the UAE and arrange the marriage on very short notice. Ameen is visibly confused about the short notice but agrees anyway.
