What happens

Dubai is a 2001 Indian Malayalam-language political action film directed by Joshiy starring Mammootty, Biju Menon, Vijayakumar, N. F. Varghese, Anjala Zaveri and Nirmal Pandey. Cochin Haneefa, Janardhanan, Nedumudi Venu and Preetha Vijayakumar play supporting roles. The script for the film was written by Renji Panicker. It is one of the Malayalam movies with a long duration. It received negative reviews from the critics and was a failure at the box office. Barring a few scenes in the beginning, the film was completely shot in the United Arab Emirates. It was one of the most-expensive films made in Malayalam cinema at that time. The film ended up being the biggest loss-maker in Malayalam cinema at the time. The film's failure is attributed to insufficient marketing and the several delays in its release.
