Ezhamathe Varavu (2013)

Based on M T Vasudevan Nair's famous story 'Ezhamathe Varavu', is set in the magnificent and magical backdrop of the Wayanad forest and is a multilayered story that delineates the link between man and nature. It revolves around three principal characters — a planter, his wife and his friend. Gopi, a wealthy planter is an Alpha male, a hunter who assumes he knows the jungle and its creatures. Bhavana plays his long-suffering wife, who craves for his company and affection. Into their turbulent marriage comes Vineeth, an archaeologist on a dig in Wayanad. He turns out to be her college beau. Kavitha plays a tribal who introduces Vineeth to the forests, its inhabitants, its mystery, magic and myth. This trendsetting drama highlights not only the conflict in one's conscience and the importance of sixth sense, but also the existential tug of war between humankind and wild beast, in the form of a man-eating tiger that endangers the lives of all in the hamlet.
