Mammootty has been in a ton of films throughout his amazing career, but there's something special about Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha. A lot of millennials and Gen Z have probably caught this classic Malayalam movie from 1989 on cable or streaming services. The good news? It's making a comeback in theaters on February 7, 2025! Keep reading to find out why this legendary film, written by the great MT Vasudevan Nair, deserves a spot on your watchlist for February 2025.
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha re-release date
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha, directed by Hariharan, is making a comeback in Kerala on February 7, 2025. This classic flick will hit the screens again in stunning 4K resolution and with Dolby Atmos sound. SCube Films is bringing this legendary Malayalam film back to theaters, giving the younger audience a chance to experience this timeless gem in top-notch quality.
Hariharan took the helm of the film, backed by a solid script from MT, which introduced Mammootty's iconic character ‘Chatiyan’ Chandu—still a favorite among movie lovers even after thirty years.
This re-release is also a heartfelt tribute to MT, who sadly left us on December 25, 2024.
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha's storyline and its cast
Mammootty really nailed the role of Chandu Chekavar, the warrior. While the Vadakkan Pattukal folklore paints Chandu as a villain and a trickster, MT aimed to show him as a tragic hero who got a raw deal from everyone, even his love interest. Even though Chandu was a skilled warrior with good intentions, he was misjudged, and that’s how MT depicted him in the movie.
Mammootty really nails some of his most impactful lines in this film, earning him a National Award for Best Actor. Suresh Gopi shines as his envious cousin Aromal Chekavar, while Balan K. Nair impresses as his mentor, Kannappan Chekavar. Maadhavi takes on the role of Unniyarcha, his love interest, who ultimately leaves him heartbroken.
More Malayalam movies making a comeback
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha is now part of the lineup of Malayalam films that have made a comeback recently. Last year, we saw Mohanlal’s Devadoothan and Shobana's Manichitrathazhu getting re-released, and Mammootty's Valyettan hit the theaters again in November 2024.
