Varavelpu

Sathyan Anthikkad-Sreenivasan are perhaps the only filmmakers whose multiple movies became timeless classics and at the same time box office hits. One of the most repeatedly-watched movies on television even three decades later, 'Varavelppu' sketches the travails of an NRI who returns home after a long while, and starts running a bus service in his locality. The movie, laced with sheer humour as well as emotional scenes, takes us through the serious troubles that an entrepreneur faces in India, especially the state of Kerala, where politically Left-leaning labour unions are well known to create roadblocks for investors. The relevance of the movie lies in the fact that similar real-life stories of entrepreneurs continue to be heard in Kerala till date. All actors perform their roles to perfection.
