Achanurangatha Veedu (2006)

In the heart of Malayalam cinema emerges a poignant tale, "Achanurangatha Veedu" (The House Where the Father Doesn't Sleep), a 2006 film crafted by the visionary director Lal Jose and scribed by Babu Janardhanan. The inspiration for this stirring narrative was drawn from the chilling Suryanelli rape case proceedings that deeply moved Janardhanan. The film unfolds the life of Samuel, a young scholar who finds himself entangled in a passionate love affair with a Catholic Christian girl, Lillikutty, in the turbulent era of the 1970s. Their love story takes a faith-bound turn as they embrace Pentecostalism after marriage. Tragedy, however, strikes early in their wedded bliss when Lillikutty breathes her last, leaving Samuel grappling with the challenges of rearing three daughters alone. The plot thickens with the unnerving mystery of his youngest daughter's sudden disappearance. As Samuel embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, he is confronted by harrowing realities about his daughter’s fate that shake his mental equilibrium and sends ripples through his remaining family. "Achanurangatha Veedu" is a cinematic gem that offers an extensive portrayal of the Pentecostal denomination, a first in Malayalam cinema. Critics hailed the film as a turning point in Salim Kumar's career, marking his transition from a comedian to a seasoned actor.
