Puthooramputhri Unniyarcha is a 2002 Malayalam film directed by P. G. Viswambharan. Based on Vadakkanpattu, the folklore of North Malabar, which are ballads extolling the brave and valiant chekavars, it stars Vani Viswanath, Devan, Siddique, Captain Raju and Kunchacko Boban in major roles. Jagadeesh, Mala Aravindan, Jayakrishnan, Anoop, Sreehari, Manya, Manka Mahesh, Spadikam George and Mamukkoya form the supporting cast. This is the last film of P. G. Viswambharan.
The film's music is scored by veteran composer Usha Khanna with lyrics by poet Yusuf Ali Kechery. Even though the film had some of the best technicians of India in its crew, such as composer Johnson, cinematographer Ramachandra Babu, editor Sreekar Prasad and art director Gangan Thalavil, the film proved to be a critical and commercial failure.
The film's production commenced in December 2000 and occurred mainly at Cheloormana in Chittur, Palakkad. (Cheloormana had also featured in the Mammootty-starrer bloackbuster Valyettan as the hero's ancestral home.
Synopsis
The film tells the story Unniyarcha, the valiant heroine of the Vadakkanpattu, though a member of the fairer sex, masters martial arts and proves herself as an equal to her brother Aromal Chekavar and cousin Chandu Chekavar, both renowned warriors. Unniyarcha is portrayed as the embodiment of all virtues. The film also narrates how jealousy takes its roots in the mind of Chandu, and how he grows hostile to Aaromal, consequently betraying him during a duel. Unniyarcha then pledges to take revenge for this betrayal. This forms the crux of the film.Actors
