Helicopter pilot + rubber plantations + Sreenivasan chaos = peak Malayalam cinema energy.
Bobby (Suresh Gopi) comes to high range as a helicopter pilot working for Robinson (Sreenivasan). His job is to spray copper sulphate (thurisu) in the rubber plantations. He is assisted by Venkidi (Manian Pillai Raju), Nandu and Indrans. He faced some resistance from local workers like Chako (Jagathy Sreekumar). He also had to save Robinson from many troubles.
Acting
Sreenivasan's neurotic plantation owner is pure gold.
Direction
Rajiv Anchal balances slapstick with genuine high-range atmosphere.
Practical Effects

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Suresh Gopi reportedly did basic helicopter training to sell the pilot scenes — method acting before it was cool in Mollywood.
This captures the late-90s Malayalam comedy template: Sreenivasan as anxious middle-class everyman, Suresh Gopi in rare non-action mode, and Jagathy as the chaotic antagonist you can't hate.
