Prithviraj Sukumaran's latest movie "Paavada" hit screens all over India on Friday, 15 January, as Makar Sankranti treat to the actor's fans. The comedy entertainer is the directorial venture of G Marthandan and locks horns with Fahadh Faasil's "Monsoon Mangoes" at the Kerala box office.

Prithviraj portrays the role of a drunkard named Paambu Joy in the movie and narrates the story of his carefree life.
