==Plot==
Georgekutty ([[Mohanlal]]) is an orphan who had dropped out of school after his 4th grade. Now he is a businessman running a cable TV service in a rural area. He is married to Rani ([[Meena (actress)|Meena]]) and they have two daughters, Anju ([[Ansiba Hassan]]) and Anu ([[Esther Anil]]). His only interest apart from his family is watching films. He spends most of his time in front of the TV in his small office.

During a nature camp, Anju gets photographed in the bathroom by a hidden cell phone. The culprit, Varun (Roshan Basheer), is the son of police inspector general Geetha Prabhakar ([[Asha Sarath]]). Varun is accidentally killed by Rani and her daughter when he comes to blackmail them. They hide his body in a compost pit, which is witnessed by Anu. Rani tells Georgekutty about the incident and he devises a way to save his family from the law. He removes the broken cell phone and disposes of Varun's car, which is seen by Constable Sahadevan ([[Kalabhavan Shajon]]), who has a grudge against Georgekutty. Georgekutty takes them out on a trip to Thodupuzha to pray in a church, watch a movie and eat at a restaurant. Geetha, seeing that her son has gone missing, starts an investigation.

After a preliminary investigation, Geetha calls Georgekutty and family for questioning. Georgekutty, who had predicted that this would happen, had already taught his family how to change their alibi at the time of murder. When questioned individually, they give the same replies. Georgekutty also presents the bill of the restaurant, the movie ticket and the bus tickets as proof of their alibi. Geetha questions the owners of the establishments they have been to and their statements prove Georgekutty's alibi. However, Geetha realizes later that Georgekutty had faked the evidence and established his alibi on the owners by going on a trip with his family to the same establishments later.

Geetha arrests Georgekutty and family and Sahadevan uses brute force to beat the truth out of them. Eventually, Anu gives in and reveals the place where the body is buried. After digging the compost pit, they find the carcass of a calf, indicating that Georgekutty had moved the body. Anu reports to the media and complains against Sahadevan. The constable is suspended and Geetha resigns from her post.

Later, Geetha and Prabhakar ([[Siddique (actor)|Siddique]]) meet Georgekutty to ask forgiveness for their rude and violent behavior. Prabhakar asks Georgekutty if he can tell them about their son. Georgekutty then reveals indirectly that his family has committed a crime. Now in remand, Georgekutty signs a register at the newly constructed local police station. As he leaves, a flashback shows him leaving the incomplete police station with a shovel in hand, indicating that he has hidden Varun's body in the foundations of the police station itself.

Jyothish Shankar designed the art for the film, collaborating with the director third time. The ninenty percent of the scenes in Pathemari are sets, according to Jyothish. The set for Mumbai Airport of 1980 was erected at the parking area of [[Greater Cochin Development Authority]] Building in [[Marine Drive, Kochi]]. Every scenes taking place abroad except the outdoors were shot in Eranakulam. The Khader Hotel where the expatriates were used to lend food was also erected at a studio in Kochi. The house was erected at Thriprayar. The scenes in the sloop were shot adopting a water-craft from [[Beypore]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://metrovaartha.com/2015/11/07/interview-2/|title=ആഴിയിലും ആരണ്യത്തിലും വിരിഞ്ഞ കലകള്|date=7 November 2015|access-date=2 December 2015|agency=[[Metro Vaartha]]}}</ref>
It was during the shoot of [[Kunjananthante Kada]] that [[Resul Pookutty]], the [[Academy Award]] winning sound designer, was roped in the project by Salim Ahamed. For the film, sounds of air conditioners, traffic and its changing over the time in the Gulf were used by Resul in order to portray the development and transformation of the surroundings there. He says that he did the sound design in such a way same as that of the images are arranged in the film, that "the past is represented colourfully and the present is monochromatic."
It was real sounds that used for the scene in which the protagonist’s first
voyage aboard a sloop is featured. Resul used the 'gurgling sound of water' on the background for the scene, which, he says, the director had said "was spot on as it
conveyed the loneliness and
entrapment of the voyagers beautifully."
It was only three changes that the director needed to suggest to Resul in the final track of the sounds designed for the film.<ref>{{cite web|author=Saumesh Thimbath|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/Resonating-Resul/2015/10/13/article3076666.ece|title=Resonating Resul|agency=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=13 October 2015|access-date= 8 November 2015}}</ref>

===Plagiarism allegations===
A UAE based [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] Moidutty filed a complaint in the Additional Sessions Court, [[Eranakulam]] against the release of the film, stating that the director Salim Ahmed plagiarised his story titled 'Swapnageham'.<ref name="plgrsm">{{cite news|author=Deepa Soman|url=http://timesofindia.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/Mammoottys-Pathemari-in-the-dock-for-alleged-story-theft/articleshow/48028793.cms|title=Mammootty's Pathemari in the dock for alleged story theft!|agency=[[The Times of India]]|date=11 July 2015|access-date=25 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/150705/entertainment-mollywood/article/mammootty’s-pathemari-runs-trouble |title=Mammootty’s Pathemari runs into trouble|agency=[[Deccan Chronicle]]|date=5 July 2015|access-date=25 September 2015}}</ref> In July 2015, the release of the film was stayed by the Ernakulam Additional Sessions Court.<ref name="plgrsm"/> [[Salim Ahamed]] reacted to the allegation saying "It is said to be that about three people have come up with similar claims, one from [[Irikkur]], [[Kannur]] and another one who has conducted a press conference about it in [[Muscat, Oman|Muscat]]." The director also pointed out that his debut film ''[[Adaminte Makan Abu]]'' had also faced similar allegations, but it died down when the movie was released. "''Pathemari'' will be felt for each NRI malayalis as their own story, but it is not about a single individual. We will try to solve the plagiarism issue legally," said Salim.<ref name="plgrsm"/> Later in an interview Salim Ahamed furthermore clarified the issue said: "Upon reading the story
for clarification, I could see that the accuser's own work is a plagiarized tale based
on the story titled Swapnangalil Ninnu
Swapnangalilekku Oru Kabir, written by
T V Kochubava, decades ago. As we
pointed it out, the court happened to
check it and the observation was
included in the final verdict, which was
in our favour. We are continuing with
the case as false allegations were
made." <ref name="interview"/>

===Home media===
The satellite right for the film was initially offered by [[Surya TV]] for an amount of {{INRConvert|2|c}}, regarding the film as an 'off-beat' one. However, the post-release theatrical and critical response resulted in a surge in the price, which was reportedly {{INRConvert|7|c}}, surpassing the previous record of {{INRConvert|6.5|c}} created by ''[[Drishyam]]'' (2013). But later, the satellite rights of the movie was bagged by a popular channel for 6 Crores. So, it is officially confirmed that Ennu Ninte Moideen is the movie to be sold for the highest amount <ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/news/2016/ennu-ninte-moideen-breaks-premam-record-213614.html|title=ennu-ninte-moideen-breaks-premam-record|agency=Filmibeat.com|date=22 February 2016|access-date=22 February 2016}}</ref>

However, [[Salim Ahamed]] talked about the news in an interview with ''[[The Times of India]]'' that, "I am a
filmmaker who makes movies for the
Malayali audience and tell stories of
their lives, and those outside its realm
aren't my focus group. Being
considered for Oscars is good enough." <ref name="interview">{{cite news|author=Deepa Soman|url=http://timesofindia.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/My-movie-wasnt-made-with-the-Oscars-in-mind/articleshow/49183789.cms|title=My movie wasn’t made with the Oscars in mind|agency=[[The Times of India]]|date=2 October 2015|access-date=4 October 2015}}</ref>

Sujatha S of [[Mathrubhumi]] called the film "An ode to Gulf Malayali" and appreciated the cinematography, editing and sound mixing by Resul Pookutty, she said "The dialogues on many occasions in the first half sound dramatic, though there were gems of dialogues too".<ref>{{cite news|author=Sujatha S|url=http://english.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/movies/pathemari-an-ode-to-gulf-malayali-english-news-1.603895|title=Pathemari – An ode to Gulf Malayali|agency=[[Mathrubhumi]]|date=15 October 2015|access-date=29 October 2015}}</ref>
Veeyen of Nowrunning.com rated 3/5 and said that, "The initial half an hour of 'Pathemaari' is as wobbly as the boat that rocks up and down along the seas, having been caught in a storm. But then, the skies clear up and the film sets sail, almost nonchalantly moving along the unruffled waters, casting an eerie silence of sorts that buries plenty of unspoken words within."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/15362/malayalam/pathemaari/5251/review/|title=Pathemari Movie Review|agency=Nowrunning.com|date=11 October 2015|access-date=24 October 2015}}</ref>
Rating 4 out of 5, Anu James of [[International Business Times]] called the performance of Mammootty as one of his career-best and wrote: "As it is a familiar story for many of us,
there is no suspense element in it, but
we still sit firmly on our seats just to
see what happens next."<ref>{{cite news|author=Anu James|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/mammoottys-pathemari-review-no-surprises-real-life-portrayal-struggling-malayalis-dubai-649949|title=Mammootty's 'Pathemari' Review: No surprises, but real-life portrayal of struggling Malayalis in Dubai|agency=[[International Business Times]]|date=10 October 2015|access-date=17 October 2015}}</ref> S.R. Praveen of [[The Hindu]] wrote "A familiar story, a familiar setting and even actors in predictable roles – on paper, there is nothing really going for Pathemari . But still much can be achieved with a script that shines light on previously unseen details."<ref>{{cite news|author=S.R. Praveen|url=http://thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/smooth-sail-on-a-sea-of-emotions/article7749098.ece|title=Smooth sail on a sea of emotions |agency=[[The Hindu]]|date=11 October 2015|access-date=21 October 2015}}</ref> Akhila Menon of [[Filmibeat]].com rated 4/5 and
said, "Salim Ahamed has succeeded in catering the emotional element with at most brilliance; which makes the movie extremely touching". Also said, though not a commercial film, it appeal all type of audience.<ref>{{cite news|author=Akhila Menon|url=http://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/news/2015/pathemari-movie-review-mammootty-steals-the-show-201079.html |title=Pathemari Movie Review: A Tribute To Expatriates|agency=Filmibeat.com|date=9 October 2015|access-date=17 October 2015}}</ref>
Rejath RG of [[Kerala Kaumudi]] also said, "Salim Ahmed
excels as the writer and director in
Pathemari and considering the fact that
it was such a memorable experience."<ref>{{cite news|author=Rejath RG|url= http://www.kaumudi.com/innerpage1.php?newsid=69971 |title=Pathemari..Salim Ahamed strikes again|agency=[[Kerala Kaumudi]]|date=10 October 2015|access-date=17 October 2015}}</ref>
[[Behindwoods]] rated 3/5 and stated, "As far as the narration goes, the film takes you through familiar territory, like what we have seen in films like Arabikkatha, but let's just say that Pathemari is highly laced with empathy. At the end of the film, you can't help feel empathetic about the suffering and chronic homesickness that every Gulf Malayali or any expatriate would be going through for that matter." <ref>{{cite news|author=Behindwoods Review Board|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/malayalam-movies/pathemari/pathemari-review.html|title=Pathemari Movie Review|agency=[[Behindwoods]]|date=9 October 2015|access-date=17 October 2015}}</ref>
Paresh C
Palicha writing
for [[Rediff.com]] gave 3/5 and
wrote, "The director tries to infuse new life to the dated theme by employing flashbacks and flash forwards, bringing in a larger social perspective rather than restricting it to one person."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rediff.com/movies/report/review-pathemaari-is-worth-a-watch/20151012.htm|title=Pathemari Movie Review|agency=[[Rediff.com]]|date=12 October 2015|access-date=17 October 2015}}</ref> Rating 3/5, Indiaglitz described the technical aspects as "pretty okay" saying "A more realistic dialogues and novelty factor would have lifted the movie to a new level" and concluded, "The way the
movie ends is also quite nice and this
adds to the overall good."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indiaglitz.com/pathemari-malayalam-movie-review-19537.html|title=Pathemari|agency=Indiaglitz|access-date=28 October 2015}}</ref> Praising performances, cinematography and music, G. Ragesh of [[Malayala Manorama]] rated the film 3.25/5 and said, "Through episodes that the viewers can
easily associate with, Salim tells the
tale of the Malayali migrant life in a
less dramatic but compelling
narrative. The film doesn't have the
flavours for a commercial flick. Nor
does it compromise anywhere to
satiate the tastes of the so-called
critics. In short, it's a film made for
all."<ref>{{cite web|author=G.
