Director Ranjith Sankar comes up with his 4^th film ‘Punyalan Agarbathis’ which is  a comic entertainer & socially relevant film. Coming to his 4^th venture, it is different from his earlier films in the sense that it’s a comic entertainer but it has the elements of social importance & sattire.

Joy Thakklolkaran (Jayasurya) is a young enterprenuer from Thissur who wishes to be rich. He starts an insence stick factory & markets incense sticks named ‘Punyalan Agarbathis’  which is in fact made from elephant dung.He keeps himself afloat with the money his wife Anu(Nyla Usha) makes from her job where she has to work hard.Joy has a companion Greenu Sharma (Aju Vargheese) who considers Joy as his role model. Joy agreed to take elephant dung from the devaswom & later they disagree to give him what he needs since he is a Christian. He fights it out in the court with the help of his advocate Sai(Rachana Narayananankutty) while he tries to get elephant dung from other sources. He finally succeeds in the case . But all these were just a beginning . Things are yet to come.  

The film is suitable for all types of audience especially for the family audience. The Thrissur slang in the dialogues work out well in entertaining the people & the elements of sattire towards the present day society too works out well.The film do contain lot of things about social commitment & of course lot of funny moments to entertain us.

‘Punyalan Agarbathis’ is a perfect watch if you are not in a mood to dig out the very minute flaws which can be neglected.
