Cinema Company 2012

Paul Cheriyan, Bipin Basil Paulose, hurries toward his office as the building fills with a sudden, uneasy energy. A watchman explains that a boy has died in an accident, his friends among the witnesses, their voices muffled by shock and guilt. Paul makes his way to the vigil where the boy’s friends mourn and vent their anger at themselves, then returns to his apartment to reflect on his own circle—past friendships, promises, and whether anyone from his life still stands where they did.

His memories drift to Parvathi, Sruthi Hariharan, who carried a Ukulele and sang jingles on air, a beacon of creative energy. Then to Varghese Panikkar, Sanjeev M Nair, a wealthy friend with a director’s dream, always with a sketch pad and camera ready. Then Fazal, Badri, known as Ikka, a gifted writer who collected prizes and carried a complex love for a rich girl named Roshni Lakshmi. Paul also recalls his own early dream of acting, a passion that had drawn them together years ago.

The four friends once planned to make a film as a team, but the project fell apart and remained unfinished. Paul returns to Kochi, the very place where their idea began, and is drawn back into the old circle. Reunited, they pick up the threads of that abandoned project, revisiting old notes, sketches, and shared laughter. Together they finally make the movie they had envisioned—an effort that, through their collaboration and perseverance, becomes a genuine success and a testament to friendship and shared ambition.
