The Poor Prince) is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language romantic comedy film directed by Kamal and written by Sreenivasan.

The film is about 4 parallel college teachers - Gopalakrishnan, Aravindan, Sujanapalan and Gangan who reside in the same rented house.

Gopalakrishnan, who is the Hindi teacher, is a miser and apart from sharing the rent, does not contribute money for any household or luxury items, even in dangerous or urgent situations.

Gopalakrishnan sees and secretly follows a woman, finds out her name is Radhika and that she is a banker working near his college after his friends post him a letter saying she uses a certain bus service.

There is a change in Gopalakrishnan's frugal behaviour and his friends enjoy by posting love letters regularly, making him buy what they want, including chairs and a television under the pretext that Radhika had come to their house and she wanted such facilities, and alcohol by claiming it was for her drunk father and taking it for themselves through Shankarettan.

The matter starts to lose control of the three men when he actually meets Radhika, whom he believes to be in love with her cousin Ashok, she fails to identify him and treats him as a maniac.

After 5 years, Aravindan receives a letter from Gopalakrishnan inviting him and his friends to Lovedale, a hill station in Tamil Nadu.
