The good-at-heart sacrificial hero who does everything for family and friends is a cliched character trope that we have seen a zillion times in Malayalam. At one point, everyone will question this character for something they never did. Anup Pandalam’s directorial debut Shefeekkinte Santhosham is one such story. The problem is that while most of the other melodramas had a solid conflict to create a credible script, Anup’s script ran out of ideas quickly.
Shafique Shamsudheen is our central protagonist, who works in the middle east. He is going to his home after almost 3 years as his marriage with Sainaba is about to happen. As he packed things, he decided to purchase some gifts for all those who helped him in the past. The trouble Shafique had to face due to one of those gifts and how it changed his life drastically is what we witness in Shefeekkinte Santhosham.
