April Fool is a 2010 Malayalam comedy film directed by Viji Thampi, scripted by Jagadish, and produced by Santosh Damodar.

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 Rakesh Menon is a music producer (a publisher in Veber's script) married to a singer.

Krishnanunni is a talkative self-promoting singer (in Veber's script, passionate in building replicas of landmarks with matchsticks) who carries with him a photo album showcasing his musical life.

Friday arrives but Rakesh accidentally falls into a swimming pool and gets injured (a golf injury, in Veber's script).

After encouraging Rakesh's wife to return home, Krishnanunni makes yet another mistake after he picks up the telephone when she calls to talk to Brochant despite having previously told her he was in a phone booth.
