Naalu Pennungal


The movie is very sentiment movie and it has been picturized well.The movie is realy touching story.

Its about 4 different women from Kuttanad area , who comes from different walks of life, each have a story of their own. The movie have blended the characters well in one form.A
 
The movie is quite authentic and the dress pattern is not about the present time,the dressing style and the set is changed to the 60's.

The first story tells about Kunjipennu (Padmapriya) decides to turn a new leaf by marrying Appukutty ( Sreejith Ravi), a headload worker. But society and one of her former client Ouseappachan (Manoj.K Jayan) still craves for her and falsely implicates the newly married couple who is imprisoned. The judge finds them legally not married and she is not able to stand up to legal scrutiny, as she is uneducated. Justice is denied to Kunjipennu, more due to her social standing and lack of basic knowledge.

The second short story is Kanyaka (The Virgin), about a paddy field labourer Kumari (Geetu Mohandas), who gets into an arranged marriage with Narayanan (Nandu), a shop- keeper and mama's boy who is interested in only watching films .Kumari finds that he is not interested in consummating the marriage, and soon leaves her with her parents. And in a bid to hide his failures, he and his mother spreads canards about Kumari, still a virgin after her marriage.

The third story is about Chinnu Amma (The Housewife). It is the story of a rich housewife Chinnu Amma (Manju Pillai), who after years of married life with her loving and caring husband,(Murali) still does not have any children. One day, a former classmate (Mukesh) for whom she had a crush turns up and enlightens her dull and drab life with his stories of sexual conquests. He tries to influence her by blaming her husband for all her woes and suggests that he can be the surrogate stud for her to have a child. But the strong womanly streak of being loyal to her husband and question of fidelity triumphs in the end. Manju Pillai is adequate for the role.

The final l story is about the Nithyakanyaka (The Spinster), about an unmarried elder sister Kamakshi (Nandita Das).The guy(Ravi Vallathol) who comes to see her first sees her beautiful younger sister (Kavya Madhavan) and marries her, as her helpless mother K.P.A.C Lalitha requests her to make way. Finally her brother (Asokan) and the youngest (Remya Nambisan) in the family too get married and she ends up as unwanted and lonely after her mother's death. She finally decides to go back to her family house and live a solitary life.
