Pookkaalam, a Malayalam movie directed by Ganesh Raj. The film is a feel-good family entertainer with a novel theme that revolves around an older couple who have been married for 80 years. On the day of their granddaughter's betrothal, a letter written fifty years ago threatens to cast a cloud on the happy occasion, bringing up the family's buried secrets. The movie focuses on the warm relationship between the couple and their large extended family while also taking periodic shifts to their past struggles and personal losses. Despite some forced moments, the performances by Vijayaraghavan and KPAC Leela as the couple facing a crisis late in their lives are moving. Overall, the movie is a heartwarming watch that ends rather predictably.
