John Honai is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language comedy thriller film directed by T.A. Thufeeq, written by Fazal and produced by  P.T. Saleem and Madhu Thilenkery. The film stars Siddique as John Honai in the lead role along with Malavika Menon, Jagadish and Mukesh in the major roles. The music is composed by Alex Paul and the background score was composed by Ouseppachan. The screenplay is based on a story written by Fazal. The film's name gives the impression that it is a sequel to the comedies "In Harihar Nagar", "2 Harihar Nagar" and "In Ghost House Inn", but it is completely unconnected.[1][2]

Devanarayanan hands him a blank cheque and on the very next day he gets killed.

At the same time, Sreenivasan, an investigating officer, also reaches Dubai with them from Kerala. Once they reach Dubai they are allotted a tourist guide by Janardhanan's friend. There, they also have to face John Honai, the real owner of the three crore rupees who has come from Kerala to retrieve it. The difficulties faced by John, Jaffer and Janardhanan to solve the problems that they face in Dubai forms the crux of the film.[3][4][5]
