Oppam (English: Together) is a 2016 Indian Malayalam crime thriller film scripted and directed by Priyadarshan, based on a story by Govind Vijayan. The film, produced by Antony Perumbavoor for Aashirvad Cinemas stars Mohanlal, Samuthirakani, Anusree, Vimala Raman, Nedumudi Venu, and Baby Meenakshi in primary roles. Mohanlal plays Jayaraman, a blind man and the prime suspect in a crime he encountered.
Principal photography began on 5 March 2016 in Kochi and completed on 14 June 2016 in Chitranjali Studio, Thiruvananthapuram. Oppam was released in India on 8 September 2016. The film received positive reviews from critics, who mostly praised Mohanlal's performance as a blind man. In two months, the film grossed over ₹65 crore (650 million) worldwide to become the third highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. The film was dubbed and released in Telugu as Kanupapa on 3 February 2017.
Jayaraman (Mohanlal) was born blind, but has a heightened sense of smell, hearing and touch. He belongs to a big family and works as an elevator operator of an apartment in Kochi, as he wants to earn money for his sister's marriage. He is loyal to Krishnamoorthy (Nedumudi Venu), a retired judge residing in the same apartment. Jayaraman accompanies Krishnamoorthy on his trips for finding a person he was looking for since the time he was working as a judge. Though, Jayaraman had never asked any questions regarding it as he feels that it was unnecessary.
