The screenplay of a well-known Malayalam movie by MT Vasudevan Nair gives a new interpretation to legend of Perumthachan.

“Set in the caste sensitive brahminical society of Kerala, the story of the master carpenter or Perumthachan is a powerful story of love, arrogance, restrictions of caste and the close, almost cloistered life, at the illam.” — The Hindu

“Nair’s screenplay shows elements of culture such as caste, education, rights and responsibilities.” — Hindustan Times
