Good-natured people try to help him by loaning the amount, but since this is against the accepted practices of the religion, he refuses to take them. Finally, they are not able to go. On the dawn of the Hajj, Abu tells his wife that they will go the next year. He goes to the mosque to pray on the Hajj morning.—Anonymous
- Adaminte Makan Abu is a family drama and Salim Kumar's excellent performance remains as the major attraction of the movie. Salim Ahamed has painted the sorrow and suffering of an elderly Muslim couple, who struggle to find money to fulfill their dream of going on pilgrimage to Haj.
Abu (Salim Kumar) goes about collecting money for his pilgrimage with his wife Aishummas (Zarina Wahab). He sells Unani medicines and athar that nobody wants. How he makes an humble and honest attempt to collect money for his Huj trip will form the crux of the movie.
The specialty of the film is that it has very little space for negativity or negative characters. Salim Kumar, who is known for his comedy, has appeared in a serious getup in Adaminte Makan Abu. He has delivered wonderful performance, which truly deserves the National award. Zarina Wahab, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Nedumudi Venu and Sasi Kalinga have also done justice to their respective roles.
