Loud Speaker
A man who can only speak loudly, just like a `Loud Speaker'. He not only likes to express himself on every issues but also intrude into every one's life around, trying to make his loud opinions and statements. This is Gopalan, the interesting lead character of the new Mammootty starer `Loud Speaker'. Directed by ace technician Jayaraj, this is the first time after 17 years, both Mammootty and the director has been coming together for a movie. The last time they teamed together was for the hit `Johny Walker' which was noted for its style and presentation. Jayaraj was also engaged in a number of beat movies like Gulmohur and Daivanaamathail' in the last few years.
The movie follows the chatterer `Mike Gopalan' an innocent villager who is called so because he can't even pass a secret without the next person hearing it. Gopalan who was an integral part of a quiet village of Thopramkudy has to be on town because of rich NRI, Menon. The hustle and bustle of city life was a fresh experience for Gopalan who always roams around with a big old transistor attached to his ear, eager to know the recent developments around the world. He, though with his funny character and snobberies, very easily becomes the right hand man of Menon. At first the residents of the neighbouring flats feared and disliked him for his loud intruding character, but very soon they finds that he is the best of their relatives to whom they can turn for everything. Amidst all these, Gopalan also becomes the intimate friend of Menon digging out his past and helping him to trace his ancestral roots.
