Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty (English: A Girl On Live) is a 2012 Indian Malayalam satirical comedy-drama film directed by T. K. Rajeev Kumar, starring Nithya Menon, Shweta Menon, and Unni Mukundan in the lead roles.
The film is about a television programme with eponymous title where TV cameras follow a female during the day time for a month and it will be televised live. How she faces odd daily life circumstances will be gauged in an interactive manner where the viewers can sms their opinions on day-to-day basis.
The first contestant selected for this innovative concept is Manju (Nithya Menon), a rustic girl who looks too naïve to cope with the big bad urban world. But, she has the support of Zarina, the producer of the programme.
As far as TV viewers are concerned, they seem to be hooked from day one itself when Manju takes her own sweet time to get out of the bed. Now, our girl has to deal with the real issues, on the first day she catches up with the Opposition Leader of the State on his morning walk and talks about the power woes of her Panchayath thereby getting brownie points from the viewers.
Next, she slaps a young molester in an Air-conditioned State transport bus making her popularity soar even further. After a few such instances, we are shown how the top honchos of the channel (mild bad guys) played by Siddique and Baburaj try to manipulate things as they need more eyeballs to attract solid sponsors. That is not all, our girl even gets stuck by Cupid's arrow during the course of this programme; Surya (Unni Mukundan), a stammering common guy who is working as an assistant choreographer in films.
