Annmariya Kalippilaanu 2016

Ten-year-old Annmaria, [Sara Arjun], is the daughter of Dr. Roy (played by [Saiju Kurup]) and his wife Dr. Teresa Roy (played by [Leona Lishoy]). Roy remembers a childhood moment on Kakkadan Mala, a hill in his hometown, where he prayed for an angel and was blessed; that blessing helped him win a medal in long jump. This memory fuels Ann’s own dream to meet that angel and earn a medal in the sport she loves.

Ann’s gentle world begins to tilt when she overhears her mother advising their domestic helper to summon a goon to deal with an unwanted suitor. Soon after, she witnesses her English teacher being harassed by David, the PT master. She reports the incident to the principal, who interrogates the troublemaker, but David, armed with political influence, manages to slip away, leaving Ann wary and increasingly wary of him. David’s actions plant a growing grudge against Ann, a thread that will pull at the center of the coming drama.

At the day of the sports trials, David cruelly disqualifies Ann as revenge, shattering her hopes. Heartbroken, Ann resolves to strike back and hatches a plan for revenge. She turns to her friend Avinash, who, after some hesitation, brings in his boastful friend Sarath. Sarath arranges a goon known as Poombatta Gireesh, a man in debt to those around him, including a local troublemaker. Gireesh’s scheme is backed by his partner in crime, Ambrose, [Aju Varghese], a conniving duo that thinks they’ve found an easy target.

To pay for the deed, Ann offers Gireesh an iPhone 6s, and he and Ambrose escort the phone to Sabu, [Dharmajan Bolgatty], the owner of a mobile shop. Sabu cheats them and pays only 2000 instead of the promised 50,000, a disappointing sting that sets off a ripple of consequences. Undeterred, Ann and Avinash press closer to the plan, seeking help from her uncle, a Sub Inspector. The uncle, aided by the force he commands, retrieves the iPhone from Sabu and hands it back to Ann, renewing her resolve.

Gireesh, pressed by the mounting pressure, finds that a local goon named Suku owes him a debt and becomes a pawn in the complex web of favors and threats. Suku forces Gireesh to confront David, and a single decisive kick knocks David unconscious. The blast of consequences reverberates through Ann’s family, and Teresa realizes that it was Ann’s idea to hire a goon that started the chain reaction. Guilt and sympathy mix in Ann’s heart as she sees how her actions have hurt others. In a surprising turn, she decides to make amends, offering up all her savings and borrowing money from Teresa in an attempt to help the very people she enlisted.

Meanwhile, the bond between Teresa and Roy frays, and the prospect of divorce hovers over their home. Ann longs for her parents to reconnect, and she eagerly anticipates spending time with them again. In a twist of fate, Girish learns from Sabu that the iPhone has landed with Baby, a self-made realtor. He tracks down Baby, who, despite his policy of never selling once bought, listens to his plea. Baby, [Siddique], is moved by Girish’s honesty and offers him a full-time driver’s job, a lifeline that begins to mend the broken pieces of Girish’s life.

With Baby’s help, the iPhone makes its way back to Ann, and a new sense of purpose blooms in Girish. He becomes a reliable ally, and the two form an unexpected friendship. The plan to realize Ann’s dream takes a dramatic turn when Girish arranges a moment on Kakkadan Mala, hoping to present an “angel” who might help Ann reach her goal. A real figure arrives—someone who truly embodies the angelic wish—giving Ann the courage to reveal her innermost dream.

Back at the school, David confronts Ann with a threatening photograph, trying to force her out. The pressure weighs heavily, and she collapses just as she prepares for the long jump. Girish, sensing the danger, steps forward to defend her, even as the world seems ready to crumble around them. The struggle culminates in a powerful moment of resilience: a determined Girish stands up to David, delivering a decisive victory with a single, well-timed kick.

The story shifts to a zonal level meet, where Ann’s first two jumps are fouls, leaving her discouraged. Then the “angel” she once mistook for a myth returns, and this time the guidance feels real. Reinvigorated and confident, Ann makes a remarkable jump and finishes as the winner. The arc of her family’s story reaches a hopeful resolution: her parents reconcile, and Roy commits to staying by his daughter’s side. Baby, aided by Ambrose, secures a job as a driver for a North India-bound lorry, a role that ends up revealing one final twist—the driver is Suku, closing the loop on the characters’ intertwined fates.

What began as a small family memory blossoms into a journey of courage, forgiveness, and second chances. The film balances heartfelt moments with a gentle, uplifting tone, showing how a young girl’s belief in a guardian angel can inspire others to change their own paths. The cast delivers a grounded, hopeful performance, with each character contributing to Ann’s extraordinary coming-of-age moment and the quiet resilience that ties the whole story together.
