Avatharam (English : Avatar) is a 2014 Malayalam action thriller film directed by Joshiy and produced by Udayakrishna-Siby K. Thomas under Four B Productions banner, the film was co-produced by Dileep K Kunnath and Vyaasan Edavanakadu. The screenplay was written by Vyaasan Edavanakadu. It stars Dileep and Lakshmi Menon.
Madhavan (Dileep), an educated youth from a small village of Idukki, comes to Kochi to stay with his brother's family after his brother Sudhakaran (Ganesh Kumar)'s death. Sudhakaran was a customs officer. While applying for the death claim the insurance company rejects the claim citing the reason that Sudhakaran was murdered and it was not an accidental death.
Meanwhile, Madhavan marries Manimekala (Lakshmi Menon)an insurance agent who is unfortunately raped by Karimban John and his goons. Madhavan murders the rapists and tries to find the mystery behind his brother's death.
It is later revealed that Sudhakaran threatens to complain to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) about the illegal smuggling activities done by Moorthy aka SRK (Babu Namboothiri). Although Sudhakaran considers SRK as his father, SRK murders Sudhakaran and through CI Jeevan, reports it as an accidental death.
In the end Madhavan murders SRK and due to lack of evidence is not jailed. Later Madhavan and Manimekala return to their native and live happily.
