Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum

Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum (transl. Four policemen and a town that used to be prosperous) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language comedy film written and directed by Srikrishna. The film stars Arulnithi and Remya Nambeesan[2] while Bagavathi Perumal, Singampuli, Rajkumar, and Yogi Babu play supporting roles. The film was highly panned by critics for its poor story and screenplay. The movie failed to perform well at the box office. It is loosely based on the British film Ask a Policeman (1939) and the Swedish film Kopps (2003).[3]

Plot

The film starts with an outsider coming to the village to provide invitations to the people there. There is a police station with one sub-inspector Chelladurai (Bagavathi Perumal) and three constables. The village is winning the award from the president (Thirumurugan) for being a model village. People are very honest and hardworking, and there are no problems in the village. The policemen lead a very peaceful life because of the villagers. They work from 9 to 5 and are closed on Sundays. The police station is used for playing board games and watching TV along with the villagers. Constable Shanmugapandian (Arulnithi) is a daydreamer and has a liking to a schoolteacher named Subha (Remya Nambeesan). However, he is unable to propose to her. Since the village is clean without any crimes, the higher officials plan to transfer them to another village known for riots. Saddened by this, the four policemen create trouble for the villagers. Padhinettam Pandiyan (Singampuli) and Chelladurai ask a favor from a thief (Yogi Babu) to steal things so they can file a case, but all their attempts fail. How their actions cause change among the villagers and their lives is the rest of the film.
