Vellaripravinte Changathi (The Dove's Friend) is a 2011 Malayalam period drama film film directed by Akku Akbar, starring Dileep and Kavya Madhavan in the lead roles. The film is loosely based on the famous Sulekha murder case.[1][2][3][4]
Plot
[edit | edit source]Vellaripravinte Changathi is based on the story of film-maker Augustine Joseph who made a Malayalam film in 1966. However, due to some reasons, the film did not make it to the theatres. The 1960s-70s was a period dominated by Prem Nazir, Sathyan, Sheela, and others. Augustine Joseph was not able to get the film released. Later, he committed suicide owing to the debts from its production. After years, his son reveals the original prints of the film from Gemini Lab. He goes on to release the film and tries to find the people who did the characters. The movie is well appreciated for the way of narration and picturisation which makes the viewer feel that they are indeed watching an old black and white movie of the 60-70s.
