The story nagged at him until he made a documentary, Jalam Kondu Murivettaval. Vimal first learnt of this love story while working for a Malayalam television channel. With an overwhelming response since its release in Kerala last month, Vimal’s debut may get a Tamil remake. Vimal dared to explore a real story with his first film is brave indeed. Kanchanamala lives on, resting solely on the bank of memories that Moideen left behind. Moideen died in 1982 while recusing people from a capsized boat in Iruvanji river in Kerala.
Kanchanamala and Moideen’s story - the tale of a Hindu woman and a Muslim man - shares a similar fate. Culture, religion and society have many a time stood in the way of two hearts aching to be one - think Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet or India’s Salim-Anarkali. Be the first to contribute!

It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. The film ends with the narrator saying that Kanchanamala survived her lover and lives all these years at Moideen's house as the unmarried widow of Moideen. She takes Kanchanamala to Moideen's house.
Kanchanamala attempts to commit suicide, but Moideen's mother holds her back. When he was returning with the passport, Moideen drowns in a boat mishap in the river Iruvazhinjippuzha in July 1982. The lovers then finally decide to go to America, for which Moideen arranges passport for Kanchanamala and himself. Eventually Kanchanmala was caught and beaten mercilessly by her conservative relatives. Both communicated through letters and language they had developed. Moideen shifted ground to being a socio-political activist and Kanchanamala lived in her house under strict restrictions for 22 years. Since inter-religious marriages were a taboo then, the couple had to part ways as their families objected to their love affair.
Set in the 1960s and 70s in Mukkam, Kerala, the film tells the tragic love story of Moideen who belongs to a renowned Muslim family and Kanchana Mala who is the daughter of a Hindu Thiyya aristocratic landlord. Based on the real-life love story of Moideen and Kanchanamala, which happened in the 1960s in the backdrop of Calicut.
