Ponmuttayidunna Tharavu () is a 1988 Indian Malayalam-language romantic comedy-drama film, written by Raghunath Paleri and directed by Sathyan Anthikad. It stars Sreenivasan, Urvashi, Jayaram and Innocent in the lead roles. It was Sreenivasan's first role as a hero after Sanghaganam (1979). The film was remade in Hindi in 2010 as Dus Tola. Plot Bhaskaran (Sreenivasan), the local village goldsmith is in love with Snehalatha (Urvashi), the daughter of P. V. Panicker (Innocent), the local astrologer, his neighbour. Panicker wants his daughter to marry a rich man working in the Persian Gulf region. Snehalatha asks for a gold necklace made of ten sovereigns as a symbol of Bhaskaran's love and also to impress her father. Bhaskaran makes a necklace and hands it over to Snehalatha. An angry Panicker finds this out, admonishes her and pockets the golden necklace. He reasons that it was "brotherly love" which made Bhaskaran give the necklace to his daughter. Panicker receives a marriage proposal from Pavithran (Jayaram), who is an orphan and working in Qatar, and accepts it. A few days before the marriage, Panicker walks up to the tea-shop where the regular patrons are in attendance. There, he shows a golden necklace saying that he purchased it from a nearby town and that it was a gift from him to his daughter. The village crowd appreciates Panicker's fatherly love. Bhaskaran finds out that this necklace was none other than the one he had given to Snehalatha a few days back. Bhaskaran becomes impatient and finally he decides to march to Panicker's home and ask Snehalatha to marry him. In this daring mission he is accompanied by his friends and well wishers, namely the Velichappadu, an oracle (Jagathi Sreekumar), Pappi the cattle trader (Oduvil Unnikrishnan), Aboobacker (Mamukkoya) the tea-shop owner and Hajiyar (Karamana Janardanan Nair). Madhavan Nair (Sankaradi), an elderly respectable citizen of the village also joins in. A heated argument ensues at Panicker's household, Snehalatha finally denying any love affair with Bhaskaran and Panicker refusing to return the golden necklace. Panicker argues that such a golden necklace was never given by Bhaskaran. Bhaskaran soon becomes the joke of the village, with people saying that he was a fool to give the necklace (if such a thing existed), without any guarantee or surety. Life goes on in the village. Parvathy teacher (Shari) teaches dance on the second floor of Aboobacker's dilapidated tea shop. Pappi continues
