Oru Naal Oru Kanavu

Synopsis

Wealthy coed Maya falls for the charming but poor Cheenu, who initially rebuffs the arrogant girl. When Maya’s father gets sick, they visit her hometown together, where she reveals a softer side that finally wins him over.

Our take

A classic love story marred by the burden of household responsibilities forms the center of Fazil’s modest Malayalam drama. Srikanth and Sonia Agarwal are a delight to watch in this romance, which is known for Ilaiyaraaja’s arresting melodies.
