"Orkkuka Vallappozhum" to be screened

Veteran actor Thilakan's much-acclaimed Orkkuka Vallappozhum (2008) will be screened at Sangeetha Theatre, Kochi on Sunday. Metro Film Society Kochi is organizing the screening, followed by an interaction with Sohanlal, its debut director.

Produced by Vinu Y.S. under the banner of God's Own Movies, Orkkuka Vallappozhum begins with 70-year-old Sethumadhavan's journey to a hill station where he had spent his childhood and early years. His wife had died after giving birth to his only son, who is now settled in the US.

Sethumadhavan is today all alone in a flat in the city. Knowing that his end is near, Sethumadhavan now wants to visit his old bungalow, where he had lived with his parents and childhood friends.

When Sethumadhavan reaches the hill station, he finds that their old bungalow is now owned by a person named Kashi. By a strange coincidence, he meets a girl there called Devayani, a look-alike of Paru, with whom Sethumadhavan had enjoyed a very romantic relationship in his youth. From there, his memories start travelling back to the good old days of his childhood and adolescence.
