Hridayapoorvam is a Malayalam family drama directed by Sathyan Anthikad, reuniting him with superstar Mohanlal after nearly a decade. The film features Mohanlal in the lead role as Sandeep Balakrishnan, a charismatic middle-aged man navigating family, relationships, and the gentle complexities of everyday life. Malavika Mohanan stars opposite him, stepping into a mature and meaningful role, while Sangeeth Prathap adds youthful energy as Jerry. The ensemble cast includes respected names such as Siddique, Sangita Madhavan Nair, Lalu Alex, Janardhanan, Baburaj, Sabitha Anand, Nishan, and S.P. Charan (in his Malayalam debut), creating a multigenerational blend that reflects the director’s signature warmth and realism.
The film revolves around themes of homecoming, emotional reconciliation, and the enduring bond between family members. With a story set in a charming Kerala town, Hridayapoorvam blends nostalgia with contemporary relevance, drawing on Anthikad’s classic storytelling approach. The narrative is expected to explore heartfelt moments through humor, small-town simplicity, and a focus on relationships, particularly between generations. Produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, Hridayapoorvam is slated for theatrical release on 28th August 2025, promising a poignant cinematic experience for fans of Malayalam emotional dramas.
