Thirakkatha (2008)
Plot
Thirakkatha (transl. Screenplay) is a 2008 Malayalam romantic drama film co-produced, written, and directed by Ranjith. The film is a tribute to the yesteryear actresses who had been graceful, popular figures in cinema during their younger age with patronage and later got completely disregarded by the industry, media, and the masses alike. Ranjith emphasized that the film should be seen as a work of fiction and not as the real-life story of Srividya or any other actress. The story shifts between the present and flashbacks through the perspective of different characters. It is divided into three monologues which meet in the climax. The film garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam (Ranjith and Maha Subair) and Priyamani won the Filmfare Awards South for Best Actress.
