## Three Royal Misfits, One Madcap Treasure Hunt: The Story of Three Kings (2011)
Three Kings is a 2011 Malayalam-language slapstick caper directed by V. K. Prakash, headlined by Jayasurya (as Sankaraunni Raja), Kunchacko Boban (as Ramanunni Raja), and Indrajith Sukumaran (as Bhaskaranunni Raja). Set against the backdrop of a once-proud royal household, the film follows three estranged princes whose relentless one-upmanship takes a chaotic turn when they stumble upon a clue to hidden treasure. Their quest spirals through mistaken identities, petty rivalries, and outlandish set pieces, drawing in love interests played by Samvrutha Sunil, Sandhya, and Ann Augustine, with veteran comic stalwarts Jagathy Sreekumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Salim Kumar amplifying the farce.
Directed with an eye for broad physical comedy and ensemble timing, the film was written by Y. V. Rajesh, shot by cinematographer Venu, and edited by Mahesh Narayanan. Ouseppachan’s soundtrack leans into a comic-adventure register, featuring numbers like Bilsila Hai Bilsila and Chakkara Maavin Pothilirikkum that match the film’s buoyant, prankish tone. Produced by Abdul Nazar (alias Jeevan) and distributed by PlayHouse Release, Three Kings embraces a throwback caper sensibility—big gags, brisk pacing, and a treasure-map motor that keeps the trio colliding and recalibrating as brothers.
On release in July 2011, critics and audiences noted the film’s unabashed slapstick energy and star chemistry, even as responses were mixed on its anything-for-a-laugh plotting. Over time, it has earned a light cult affection among fans of Malayalam screwball comedies, often cited for its ensemble humor, quotable bits, and kid-friendly caper momentum. While not a prestige title, it endures as a breezy, high-jinks showcase for its leads within V. K. Prakash’s diverse filmography.
