Wikipedia article
'Karayilekku Oru Kadal Dooram' (; ) is a 2010 Malayalam film directed by Vinod Mankara, starring Indrajith, Mamta Mohandas and Dhanya Mary Varghese in the lead roles.
Plot
Anoop Chandran (Indrajith), is a famous writer and award winner. Prone to seeing future events that turn out to be real, Anoop one day sees his own death in a trance. He decides to write one final novel before death. Anoop has a wife, Meera (Sarayu), who never understands the writer in him. At the same time, Anoop is in love with dancer Gatha (Mamta Mohandas), with whom he shares a live-in relationship. Anoop always tells Gatha about his lost love Sathyabhama (Dhanya Mary Varghese), who was his lover in college. Excited about hearing Sathyabhama aka Bhama, Gatha wants to locate Bhama and goes to Anoop's 'tharavadu' (ancestral house) with him. From there they go to Bhama's birthplace Vattakkulam to find Bhama. That place incidentally was the birthplace of Gatha's parents as well. They returned, unsuccessful in finding Bhama. Gatha went to Kolkata for her dance performances while Anoop returned to Kerala. Three months later, Gatha gets a call from Anoop. Gatha is shocked to hear that actually there was no girl named Bhama. She was an imaginary character created by Anoop for his final novel. Anoop was actually developing Bhama's story through Gatha. Anoop tells Gatha that he sent the novel to her and she has the right to give it a title and publish it. He also tells her that he is about to reach the end of his life, which he realised some time back. In the final scene, we see Anoop heading to some remote destination in the snow-clad mountains, to embrace his death.
