Ayisha breeds cattles and hens and tries to make an income out of it so that the couple can fulfil their only dream. They have a son who lives in Dubai but does not help them in anyway. To make the money needed for their trip, Abu decides to cut off a huge tree standing in front of their house but only after he cuts it does he realise that the tree is not of good quality to be sold. Many other people including travel agencies are ready to help the couple by lending them the much-needed money but Abu is not willing to perform the Hajj using borrowed money. Ultimately when Abu realises that he will never be able to fulfil his dream, he begins to think about a great sin that he did long back.

The reviews of Adaminte Makan Abu shows that the film has definitely managed to strike a chord with many people from the audience. Those who have seen the film say that it feels nice to see such a good film after such a long time which has a simple but realistic storyline and also a wonderful acting cast. The director of Adaminte Makan Abu, Salim Ahamed has utilized actor Salim Kumar's acting prowess very well to make the film extremely worth watching. One can feel that Salim Kumar has got into the skin of his character Abu with so much ease that sometimes one forgets that he is Salim Kumar and not actually Abu. Having a good storyline is not enough, but to present it to the audience in a way that it is worth their money is not an easy task especially for a debutante director. But Salim Ahamed has done just that and he has won a lot of praise among his audience, fans and critics.
There are many scenes in the film which are quite relatable for the middle class people who struggle financially to make both ends meet. Such scenes really touches the heart and brings tears to one's eye. Though it is a film based on the struggles in life, the film has not been taken in such a way that it dwells only on negative energy to make the audience feel sad. On the contrary, it is a 'feel good movie' with positive vibes throughout the film. Before watching the movie, the audience might expect to see a sad ending with some tragedy. But this is completely wrong as Salim Ahamed has worked with the film in such an intelligent way that the audience feels good after the climax. Salim Kumar has always been labelled in the Malayalam cinema industry as a comedian and people never really thought that he could enact a serious role with so much perfection. But Salim Kumar proved it to the industry and the audience that he is indeed a very versatile actor who can play a serious role as well as a comic role without any flaw. He has played his role naturally without being over the top at any juncture of the story. The other actors including Zarina Wahab have enacted their parts in the film extremely well too. Zarina Wahab compliments Salim Kumar's role in every aspect and leaves an impact every time she is given screen space. After watching Adaminte Makan Abu, one can see the amount of hard work and research that Salim Ahamed has done in his first film. He has also chosen the best actor and actress possible for each and every role in the film.
Adaminte Makan Abu is a film meant for the kind of audience who appreciate movies with a meaning in it. There are some people who prefer to watch less sensible movies just for the sake of being entertained.

This film is not only a visual treat, but it is a film which touches the right cords in the hearts of the audience giving them a good feeling of watching a worthy movie. But one should not mistake this film Adaminte Makan Abu as an art film with slow and dragging scenes. It is a normal commercial movie which can atleast please majority of the audience. In fact, the duration of the film is less than 2 hours because of which it is not boring in the least sense. Some of the positive aspects of Adaminte Makan Abu include acting by Salim Kumar and Zarina Wahab, direction by Salim Ahamed, songs by Ramesh Narayan, cinematography by Madhu Ambat and a good climax to end the movie. The only negative aspect of the movie is that Suraj Venjaramoodu's role seems a bit unnecessary and he fails to impress the audience in this movie as much as he did in his comic movies.
