Neelathamara (2009)


Plot

Beena(Amala Paul), a program producer with NDTV 24x7 is in her ancestral village for doing a television program. She wants her fiance to meet her grandmother, who has just discharged from hospital. Beena, the daughter of K.P.Haridas, who died a few years back is not in good terms with her mother Ratnam, over her second marriage. Ratnam also happens to visit the house at the same time. There she meets Kuttimalu, a middle aged lady, who was once a house maid in her teenage days. Kuttimalu is welcomed by grandmother with the same warmth that she enjoyed long back, and she now informs that her daughters are now well settled and are leading a happy life. Ratnam is also affectionate towards Kuttimalu, who had once had an affair with Haridas. In th night, while arranging the old books of K.P.Haridas, Ratnam comes across the snaps of Kuttimalu, which he had taken in his college days. She hands them over to Kuttimalu, which takes her back to the old days. The story switches to late seventies, when Kuttimalu (Archana Kavi) had arrived in the house as a housemaid along with Appukuttan, her cousin and her grandmother. Kuttimalu succeeds in winning the heart of the mother of Haridas within no time. She was an innocent village girl, who always found fun in sharing secrets with Ammini (Rima Kallingal), another girl of her age. Ammini informs her about the myth of Neelathamara (blue lotus). According to believers, if they offer a one ruppee note at the temple pond and prays deeply to the god, the flower will blossom the next morning and his/her wish will turn into truth. The arrival of Haridas Kailash, a final year law student adds more colors to her life. He succeeds in alluring Kuttimalu in a short span, which she believes is real. She fails to understand that its was just fun that Haridas is looking for. Her prayer at the river pond results in blossoming of Neelathamara (blue lotus), which takes her to cloud nine. But the news of engagement of Haridas to Ratnam comes in as a shock, which breaks her down mentally. She slowly realizes that Haridas was never serious in his affair with her and tries to over come the grief by silently serving Ratnam, his new wife. Ratnam, one day comes to know about the affair between them, and when asked, Haridas replies down so casulally, which makes her go berserk. Ratnam orders Kuttimalu to leave the house, which she accepts silently. She is taken home by Appukuttan, with whom she got married. Now years have passed and Haridas is no more and both ladies have matured enough in their lives. The film ends with Kuttimalu once again with full heart preparing to take care of octogenarian mother of Haridas.

Passenger (2009)


Plot

Passenger is based on two characters, who never had anything to do with each another, that come into each other's lives. The movie follows the events that occur consequently.

Sathyanathan (Sreenivasan) who works in a private company, is a simple man who lives with orderly and uncomplicated life. He travels from his native town to Kochi (where he works) by train. The moment the train crosses the Chalakudy bridge he dozes off. And he wakes up at a particular point. All this happens with utmost precision, as if programmed by someone. He is someone who fights for social justices for the benefit of everyone and shirks from any publicity gained by it.

Nandan Menon (Dileep) who is an advocate, always stands for truth and justice. He respects the law and always thinks of the welfare of the people around him.His wife Anuradha(Mamta Mohandas) is a bold reporter who works for private news channel Right TV.

Maranchara is a small fictitious coastal village. A private company has been awarded mining rights to mine nuclear fuel from the coast in Maranchar by Home Minister Thomas Chacko(Jagathy Sreekumar). There is a political sex scandal and a legal battle within which Minster Thomas Chacko, Nandan Menon, Anuradha Nandan and Thankamma(a local leader in Maranchara)are involved. The plot takes a turn when Anuradha obtains a video clip of the Minister collaborating with Police and Corporates. They plan to kill innocent people occupying land with potential mineral resources. Nandan is kidnapped by gangsters working for the minister to lure Anuradha into returning the Video Files.

By sheer coincidence, Satyanath gets involved. Unlike normal bystanders, he along with Driver Nair(Nedumudi Venu)decides to join the couple in the fight for to save the people of Maranchara, Nandan Menon and his wife.
