Pauly Valsan and Dileesh Pothan Lead Chevittormma
At the centre of Chevittormma is the meeting between two characters with very different experiences of life.
Pauly Valsan plays Thresya, a woman who offers final prayers to people lying on their deathbeds. Through these prayers, she seeks to free them from their worldly bonds and help them approach death peacefully.
Her journey intersects with Payyammal Varkichan, the influential man at the heart of the other side of the story. Their meeting forms the central premise of Chevittormma.
The film explores this unusual relationship through the framework of a meditative family drama.
