Here, Indrans is referring to India's demonetization efforts which started on 8th November 2012. For the common man off screen, it surely was a എട്ടിന്റെ പണി - 8nte pani no matter the good intentions behind it. എട്ടിന്റെ പണി - 8nte paṇi is an extreme form of പണി - paṇi (problem, trouble). Apparently, the origin of the phrase comes from the Indian two-wheeler driving test. The test takers must ride the motorcycle or scooter in the shape of an eight without their feet touching the ground- an incredible feat! The clip is taken from the trailer of പുത്തൻപണം - puthanpanam (New Money) directed by renowned Malayalam filmmaker Ranjith. The film is supposedly about black money. It has Mammooty in the lead role speaking Kasargode dialect. Let us know how you think he did! We wish the best for the പുത്തൻ പടം - puthan padam (new film) പുത്തൻപണം - puthanpanam.
