SYNOPSIS
Vellaripravinte Changathi has two stories running parallel to each other, the same time. One is real and the other ‘reel’. As the real story begins, a young man named Manikunju (Indrajith) arrives in Chennai, seeking a job in Gemini Film lab. With his encyclopedic knowledge about Malayalam film history and a letter of introduction by his mentor Varikkoli master (Saikumar) he succeeds in impressing Sankunni (Vijayaraghavan)-the chief of the lab.
Manikunju gets a job in ‘Ghost house’, a room where the prints of all unreleased films are kept.Inside the ghost house, while cleaning the prints, he chances upon a 35 year old film which failed to get released. He realizes it is the same film which his father (played by Ramu) had directed, putting him into debt and eventually forcing him to commit suicide. He gets permission to watch the film with the help of sweeper Preman (excellently played by Maniyan Pilla Raju). The film begins and as he finishes watching, he realizes how talented his father was. All the employees of the lab watch the movie along with him and tell that if it was released the film would have been a masterpiece.
The movie, shot in black and white with unknown actors, was a love story. Shahjahan(Dileep) played the hero Ravi with Mary Varghese (Kavya Madhavan) enacting the role of Sulekha, a Muslim girl who falls in love with Ravi. Krishnan Perambra (Manoj K Jayan) is Basheer, the brother of Sulekha. Manikunju decides to release the movie and the producer-director Lal (played by Lal himself), overwhelmed by Manikunju’s love for his father, agrees to shoulder the responsibility of exhibiting the film. Manikunju later understands that Shah Jahan and mary Varghese, like the characters they played, were really in love and his father helped them to elope from her cruel father.
Manikunju decides to find out where the couple lives now, but shocking revelations were waiting for him.
