a few months ago i watched Anandabhadram a supernatural thriller, directed by Santosh Sivan. this is his first movie in malayalam. Actors are Prithviraj, Manoj K Jayan, Kalabhavan Mani, Kavya Madhavan, Revathi & Riya Sen.
the story is based on a novel. Anandhan (Prithviraj) returns to his hometown from States to carry out his mother’s (Revathy) last wishes. There he meets people living in fear of Digambaran (Manoj K Jayan), a wizard. Digambaran uses Bhama (Riya Sen) for his evil wizardry and her blind brother Chemban (Kalabhavan Mani) could do nothing about it. Anandhan had to light the lamps at his mother’s family temple as her last wish but this would affect Digambaran’s years of effort to acquire Nagamanikkam. Digambaran enters Anandhan through Parakayaprevesham and even uses him for his evil deeds. Rest of the story deals with how Anandhan together with his lover Bhadra (Kavya) escapes from his grip and put an end to Digambaran’s witchery.
i must mention about manoj k jayan here. he is the screen-stealer. he has really lived as Digambaran. his make-up is very good.
given below is the link for the movie's website:
