Porinju Mariam Jose
Porinju Mariam Jose is a 2019 Indian Malayalam-language period action thriller film directed by Joshiy from a screenplay written by Abhilash N. Chandran. It starred Joju George, Nyla Usha, and Chemban Vinod Jose in the titular characters, while Vijayaraghavan and Rahul Madhav appeared in supporting roles. The original soundtrack of the film was composed by Jakes Bejoy. The story is loosely based on real events that occurred during the 1980s and 1990s in Thrissur.
It was released on 23 August 2019 to generally positive reviews from both the critics and audience alike. It became the fifth Malayalam film of 2019 to successfully complete 100 days in theatres after Lucifer, Kumbalangi Nights, Uyare, and Madhura Raja. It was deemed as a huge commercial comeback for Joshiy. It is remade in Telugu as Naa Saami Ranga, starring Nagarjuna.
1965: Porinju Joy and Puthanpally Jose are best friends in their youth and Jose tries to persuade Porinju to confess his love to Alappattu Mariyam Varghese, but a timid Porinju could not. One day at school, a boy bullies Mariyam and a fight ensues between Porinju and the boy. Since the boy is from an influential family and Porinju is from a poor family, the teacher punishes Porinju alone by striking him repeatedly. Porinju and Jose shout at the teacher and leave the school never to come back. Mariyam openly condemns the teacher's behavior in front of the class, for which she is scolded.
1985: Porinju is now known as Kattalan (hunter, literally 'man of the forest'). He is now a village butcher and henchman of Iype Muthalali, a wealthy and powerful real estate dealer in the locality. Porinju is very close to Iype, but Iype's sons do not like their relationship. Jose is an aspiring disco dancer and constantly performs his moves at the annual Perunnal of the church. Mariyam is now a money lender. The three of them are still close friends, even though Mariyam has now become critical of both Porinju and Jose for their troublesome lives. Porinju often openly woos Mariyam which she ignores.
On a perunnal night, a procession is passing in front of Mariyam's house, where Jose is dancing along with Mariyam. Meanwhile, Iype's grandson, Prince, gropes Mariyam, and she humiliates him publicly. Jose beats Prince and drives him back to his house. As the procession advances later towards Iype's house, Prince tells his uncles about the incident and they beat Jose together. Porinju breaks up the fight, but Prince still beats him, leading Porinju and Jose to retaliate and beat up Prince and his uncles. Though Iype witnesses his sons and grandson getting beaten up, he ignores it. It is later revealed that Mariyam was about to elope with Porinju, but her father, Varghese, tied a rope around his neck and threatened to hang himself from a tree if she ran away. However, Varghese accidentally lost his grip and hanged himself. Due to this, Mariyam lives alone without marrying Porinju, though she loves him. A year later, as the perunnal nears, Prince arranges for hitmen to kill both Porinju and Jose. Jose gets killed at a movie theater. For this, Porinju exacts revenge and hacks Prince to death in front of the perunnal procession. Prince's uncles arrange for other hitmen to kill Porinju, but Porinju kills them all and scares the uncles away, choosing to spare them for Iype's sake.
Meanwhile, Mariyam arranges to get bail for Porinju in case he goes to court for the killings. Iype and his household are mourning Prince's death. The perunnal procession passes by the house and he comes out to greet them. Porinju also arrives and the two dance together happily. However, Iype takes out a hidden knife and stabs Porinju multiple times, saying that his grandson's life mattered to him, but not to Porinju. The bystanders surround Iype, but Porinju snatches the knife and tells everyone to back off, and orders Iype to go back into his house. Mariyam arrives and Porinju dies in her arms. Sometime later, she stands in front of his gravestone, which also has her name inscribed on it with a vacant death date.
The soundtrack was composed by Jakes Bejoy, with one song composed by Angamaly Francis.
Abhilash N. Chandran has penned the story and screenplay. Manju Warrier has been initially approached to do the role of Mariyam, but she backed out due to date issues. The role went to Nyla Usha which became a break for her and her career best. Later, due to schedule conflicts, Biju Menon was replaced by Joju George while Chemban Vinod Jose was earlier confirmed.
