ORU VADAKKAN VEERAGADHA (RE RELEASE)

Critically acclaimed and commercially successful adaptation of Kerala’s well-known legend, set in the 16th century, of the brave Aromalunni, his beautiful sister Unniyarcha and their poor adopted relative Chandu. Scenarist Nair filled in the story’s ‘silences’ and emphasised important, but traditionally marginalised, characters, making Chandu (Mammootty) a misunderstood victim of jealousy and betrayal. Aromal (Gopi) is transformed into a brash, arrogant and devious warrior, less skillful than Chandu but promoted because of his caste pedigree. When Aromal dies accidentally in a fight, Chandu is accused of treachery.
