Puthiya Mukham (English: The New Face) is a 2009 Malayalam action film directed by Diphan(Assistant Director-Sajith Jagadnandan) and starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. The shooting locations were Kochi, Palakkad, and Malaysia. The music was composed by Deepak Dev, and the cinematography was by Bharani K. Dharan, who mainly works in Telugu cinema. The film was a commercial success and was one of the successful films of 2009, yet lacked positive reviews regarding creativity. The film was dubbed in Tamil with same name and it was remade in Kannada as Ziddi with Prajwal Devaraj.
Krishnakumar (Prithviraj Sukumaran) is a resident of an agraharam in Kalpathi. Along with his studies, he pursues a career as a percussionist and teaches the mridangam to local students. He is in love with a girl—the daughter of a family friend. Their relationship is not only approved, but supported by both families.
Kichu moves on to the city of Kochi (Ernakulam) to enroll at an engineering college. The villain - Sudhi (Bala) - is a senior student and the youngest of three brothers (the others being Mahi (Sai Kumar) and Giri (Shammi Thilakan)); he pursues a real estate business and routine crimes associated with it. In all his villainous endeavours on the campus he is supported by his brothers.
The main support for the villain family from 'the system' is a police officer named Shivaraman (Vijayaraghavan). The story takes its form when Anjana (Priyamani), the daughter of Shivaraman, joins the engineering college. Sudhi is in love with her and to win her love plays the gentleman, concealing and temporarily stopping all his villainous activities.
