How it feels

A man invites a naive guest to a dinner party as a practical joke. The guest's honest behavior turns the host's plans upside down.

What happens

April Fool is a 2010 Malayalam comedy film directed by Viji Thampi, written by Jagadish, and produced by Santosh Damodar. It stars Jagadish, Siddique and Navya Natarajan in lead roles. While the film credits Jagadish as the script writer, it is in fact an uncredited remake (except for some regional adaptations in the dialogue) of the 2007 Bollywood film Bheja Fry by Sagar Bellary which itself was a remake of the 1998 French film Le Dîner de Cons by Francis Veber (which in turn was a cinema adaptation of the theatrical play of the same name written by Veber himself) which was also adapted in Kannada as Mr. Garagasa and in English as Dinner for Schmucks (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
