Bharatham is a 1991 Indian Malayalam-language musical drama film written by A. K. Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil.

How, in the absence of his elder brother, Gopinathan takes the responsibility of the family and hides his griefs is the core of the story.

[3][4] Kalloor Gopinathan alias Gopi is a member of a happy family with carnatic music heritage and he himself is a good singer.

Kalloor Ramanathan who is also an excellent singer, is Gopi's elder brother, guru and role model.

Taking this as an insult, Raman starts hating his brother and strives hard to recover from alcoholism.

In the middle of the concert, he enters the stage, removes his ancestral necklace and puts it on Gopi as a mark of continuation of his legacy.

Gopi, learning that Raman died in an accident, is forced to conceal the truth because of their vocally disabled sister's marriage.
