Oru Cheru Punchiri

This is a Malayalam language film starring veteran Oduvil Unnikrishnan and lesser known Nirmala Sreenivasan.

Written and directed by MT Vasudevan Nair - a genius known for his great stories and scripts. And he surpasses expectations of a simple storyline about those who are in their sunset years.

The film is about an elderly couple and their days together. Diving on themes of tender love, and how it ripens with age providing cover against loneliness.

They talk about small things, their needs are simple, they give most importance to the young children next door, and thus their lives are very very rich.

And that's precisely the message of the film: value relationships, celebrate togetherness and enrich life!

My favourite film, and it'll be at least "one of the favourites" of anyone who watches this underrated masterpiece.
