Poochakkoru Mookkuthi is a 1984 Malayalam comedy film directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Sanal Kumar. The film stars Mohanlal, Shankar, and Menaka in lead roles, and it tells the story of a simple-minded man who loses his valuable diamond nose pin, or mookkuthi, leading to a series of comical mishaps and misunderstandings. The film begins with Gopalakrishnan (Mohanlal), a simple man who lives with his wife Radha (Menaka) and mother-in-law (Sukumari) in a small village. Gopalakrishnan has a unique habit of always fiddling with his nose, and he adorns a valuable diamond nose pin, which he affectionately calls his 'mookkuthi'. Gopalakrishnan's happiness revolves around this mookkuthi, which he believes makes him a respectable person in society.

One day, while Gopalakrishnan is in the city to sell produce from his farm, he loses his precious mookkuthi while walking on the street. Devastated by this loss, Gopalakrishnan starts searching for his precious possession. Meanwhile, the mookkuthi ends up in the hands of three strangers - Captain (Shankar), Suku (Nedumudi Venu), and Ani (Ashokan), who have their own agendas for the nose pin.

The rest of the film revolves around the hilarious consequences of the lost mookkuthi. Captain, Suku, and Ani try to sell the nose pin to a variety of people, leading to a chain of confusion and chaos. Gopalakrishnan, who is desperate to get his mookkuthi back, meets the trio, but they deny knowing anything about the lost nose pin.

As the story unfolds, more characters are introduced, including a cunning pawnbroker, a sadistic dentist, and a don named Ravana Panikkar (Soman). Gopalakrishnan's search for the mookkuthi takes him through a series of misadventures, leading him to cross paths with all these characters, causing more problems and mishaps.

Amidst all this, Gopalakrishnan's wife, Radha, begins to suspect that her previously honest husband has been keeping secrets from her. Things get worse when her father comes to the village and starts investigating Gopalakrishnan's mysterious behavior.

The climax of the film features a hilarious chase scene where all the characters are chasing each other in search of the nose pin. The film ends with a clever twist, and all the loose ends are tied up satisfactorily.
