Till now, it's my most favourite Malayalam movie.....Nandanam released in 2002. Now also, when I see its climax, very often my eyes fill with tears and I could feel my hairs on hands are raising. (What is it called in English? :whistle: :dry: ).

Let me tell its story in brief.
The story is about a maid Balamani (played by Navya) who comes to Guruvayur and works in a home, only to see Guruvayur Krishna once. But, she couldn't able to go to that temple, even after a lot of attempts. She falls in love with Manu who comes to visit his grandmother, whom Balamani is taking care of. (It's Pritviraj's first movie). But his widow mother fix his marriage with a rich girl, without knowing the real matter. Balamani becomes angry with Krishna and says, she will never lit 'deepam' for him or visit Guruvayur temple. Years before, she lost both her parents in an accident when they were going to Guruvayoor temple.
A boy Unnikrishnan of about 25, who was staying abroad comes next door for leave. Both become friends. He even says everything in her mind and at last says, her desire will be fulfilled. But she never believes him.
But later, events take a twist and Pritviraj marries Navya by getting everyone's consent. They decide to go to Guruvayur Temple soon after marriage and before going there, She comes to meet her friend to say, as you have told, my marriage has happened. But she becomes surprised to see another person saying, I am Unni and I came yesterday only.
At that time only she understands the real truth.....it was Guruvayoorappan who came to comfort her when she was in distress. Also, no one else have seen him, only she.
Newly married couple go to Guruvayur temple at once and while they are praying, she could see her unnikannan going inside the temple, smiling at her. But Pritviraj can't see him even though she points towards him.
The film ends saying it may be real or just mad thoughts of that poor maid.

Enjoy this Krishna song.....though video is not clear

It's sure, if you see this film, you will visit Guruvayoor at least once. :) :)
Let me add one more thing.....K.S.Chitra sang all female versions of its Krishna songs and she became mother very soon after 15 years of her marriage. She named her 'Nandana'. Such a powerful movie. :) :) :)
But she lost her kid, 1.5 years before...just 1 day before Vishu.....strange co-incidence. Whole Kerala couldn't celebrate Vishu that year with happiness.

Dhanna Jatt was a saintly figure and big devotee. There are many stories and hymns in Punjabi about him. The movie must also be a good one.


Yes sir.. it is really one of the best and a real story about a village guy who was sold a stone on the name of god and he took it home.. And rest is history. It was played by our great beloved sir dara singh ji. who is no more...
