Plot
Ente Kalithozhan is a 1984 Malayalam-language romantic drama that explores the innocence and intensity of youthful love. The film centers on the emotional journey of two college students—Ravi and Shobha—who fall in love despite belonging to different social classes. Their love blossoms in the midst of scenic rural Kerala, marked by shared dreams and moments of joy.[5]
As their relationship deepens, they face opposition from Shobha’s conservative family, who disapprove of Ravi’s modest background. The film delves into the emotional struggles of young lovers torn between passion and obligation. With melodious songs and heartfelt performances, the story moves toward a dramatic climax that tests their resilience and love.[6]
The film reflects classic Malayalam romantic storytelling of the 1980s, blending emotional depth with rural aesthetics and musical interludes composed by A. T. Ummer.[7]
