With a story drawn from real life, Iniyum arrives before audiences as a deeply emotional cinematic experience. Directed by Jeeva, the film presents the true life story of Sudheer C.B., the producer of Yadu Film Factory. For the first time in Malayalam cinema, a producer narrates his own life story through his film, making Iniyum particularly noteworthy. The story, screenplay, and dialogues are also written by producer Sudheer himself. Along with leading actors, several newcomers play key roles in the film.
Set against a rural backdrop, Iniyum tells a powerful story that gives prominence to family relationships. The film beautifully blends emotions, friendship, love, humor, and energetic action sequences, presenting a unique narrative crafted by director Jeeva.
A special highlight of the film is that action director Ashraf Gurukkal appears in a villain role. The soulful songs composed by Mohan Sithara add depth to the film, while a song sung by renowned Tamil playback singer Srinivas is sure to captivate audiences.
The story revolves around Bhadran, a member of a traditional Namboothiri family with generations of heritage. Circumstances turn him into an aide of the ruthless moneylender Vareed, engaging in debt collection and violent activities. After Vareed’s death, Bhadran starts his own chit fund business, making him the enemy of Vareed’s sons. A dramatic incident forces Bhadran to flee his village. Living in hiding in another village, he becomes a temple priest. The film unfolds through a series of intense and eventful developments that follow.
