Nokkethadhoorathu Kannum Nattu is a 1984 Indian Malayalam drama film written and directed by Fazil, and starring Mohanlal, Nadhiya Moidu, and Padmini. The film was one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year at the box office, and received the Kerala State Film Award for Best Film with Popular Appeal and Aesthetic Value. The film is a modified copy of 1979 american tv film " strangers: the story of a mother and daughter".
Nokkethadhoorathu Kannum Nattu was subsequently remade by Fazil in Tamil titled Poove Poochooda Vaa (1985), and in Telugu as Muddula Manavaraalu (1986) by another director.
Kunjoonjamma Thomas (Padmini) is a widow living in the village all by herself. People always make fun of her because she is grumpy and depressed due to the deaths of her husband and her only child. Children irritate her by ringing her door bell and running away. One day, her granddaughter Girly (Nadhiya Moidu), who she had never met, visits her. Initially, Kunjoonjamma does not like Girly, but they soon become close to each other. Kunjoonjamma takes down the door bell, saying to Girly that its only purpose was for Girly's return. Now that Girly is with her, she does not need it.
Kunjoonjamma's neighbor, Sreekumar (Mohanlal), falls in love with Girly. One day, Sreekumar's friend, Alexi (Fazil), comes to his house and sees Girly. He identifies her as a girl missing from Delhi, and immediately informs her father (K. P. Ummer) about her whereabouts.
Girly had run away from Delhi because she had a brain disease and does not have much time to live. She wanted to enjoy the rest of her life. When her father comes to take her back to Delhi for an urgent operation, she refuses to go, claiming that even the doctors are not sure whether the operation will be successful. Her grandmother mixes sleeping pills in soup and gives it to Girly, and her father takes her to Delhi while she is unconscious.
