Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha
Directed by T Hariharan
Produced by Kalpaka Films
A feudal-era warrior drama rooted in Malayalam ballad tradition, exploring loyalty, betrayal, and honor through the conflict between a talented orphan and his jealous cousin.
Chanthu, a poor orphan and Aromal are cousins and belong to the Chekavar clan, a warrior clan who hire themselves out as duellers to settle disputes among the rich and powerful. Aromal, jealous of the much more talented Chanthu, makes life miserable for him and Chanthu decides to leave and live with Aringodar, a rival chekavan, as his pupil. When the two sons of a local landlord have a property dispute and decide to hire Aromal and Aringodar to duel it out, Chanthu has to decide where his loyalty lies - with the family of the uncle who brought him up or with Aringodar who provided him with sanctuary.
