Ammathottil Malayalam Movie

Anand is an orphan who grew up in a children's home. Through sheer hard work and inherent intelligence he gains admission to a medical college, where he meets Shalini who hails from a well-to-do family. Romance blossoms and the two get married soon after college and embark upon their medical careers - Shalini as a gynecologist and Anand as a pediatrician.

Differences slowly creep into their lives. Anand, who has personally experienced poverty, is a dedicated medical professional always sympathetic to the poor and has a special fondness for children. Shalini on the other hand is out to make money, supports abortion and often adopts unethical means to achieve her goals. This leads to verbal outbursts between the two. In the course of one such outburst Shalini reveals that she had aborted two of their own offspring. Anand is shocked. The relationship turns cold. In the meantime, their teenaged daughter is a mute witness to the deteriorating relationship.

Ammathottil is the debut directorial venture of Rajesh Amanakara, a graduate from Pune Institute of Film Technology, who also does the story and the script. Biju Menon, who plays the lead role as Anand, has great expectations from the film. Mohini who returns to the silver screen after a long interval, enacts the role of Shalini. Sixteen-year old Pooja Nair makes her debut as the daughter of the warring couple. The film, produced by US based NRI Shibu Kizhakkekootu Chicago, promises to be a family entertainer.
