Puthiya Mugham

In the quiet lanes of Kalpathi’s agraharam, the rhythm of life is measured by the beat of a mridangam. Krishnakumar moves through this world with a calm confidence, balancing his engineering studies with a deep‑seated passion for teaching the ancient percussion instrument to the neighbourhood children. The close‑knit community watches his quiet devotion, and a tender romance blossoms with Sreedevi, the daughter of a trusted family friend— a match that feels as natural as the drum’s pulse and is warmly approved by both households.

When destiny calls, Krishnakumar leaves the timeless alleys for the bustling campus of an engineering college in Kochi. The city’s kinetic energy clashes with the serenity he has known, introducing him to a world where ambition roars louder than tradition. Here he encounters Sudhi, a senior whose privileged background as the heir to a real‑estate family and the shadow of his brothers’ influence set a stark contrast to Krishnakumar’s humble origins. Their interactions crackle with the tension of competing values, each aware that the other represents a different path forward.

The film paints a vivid portrait of two intersecting worlds: the slow, melodic cadence of a heritage town and the fast‑paced, competitive rhythm of urban college life. As friendships form and rivalries simmer, the atmosphere is charged with youthful yearning, cultural pride, and the unspoken question of whether love and ambition can coexist. The tone remains introspective yet vibrant, inviting the audience to feel the undercurrents of change that ripple through every drumbeat, every lecture hall, and every hopeful glance.
