Wild horse) is a 1990 Malayalam-language drama film directed by P. G. Viswambharan and scripted by S. L. Puram, based on his classic play of the same name.

Kochuvava grows up into a ruthless abkari amassing wealth through various legal and illegal ways, climbing the social ladder with the changing times.

This will serve to increase his profits as well as help drive out the last residents of the kovilakam - Manorama and a young girl who live there with their property overseer Raman Nair.

However, this masterful long-standing plan is strongly resented by his spoilt immature son, Mohan, who also happens to be in love with the young and equally naive girl who is the titular "Kochuthampuratti" of the kovilakam.

Kochuvava's words echo in his mind about the inevitability of his plan to start Arrack manufacturing in the upper caste homestead.

Unable to stand the caste humiliation any longer, he burns down the palace with Manorama alive inside it and goes and informs Kochuvava and the rest of the village.

The film ends in a bitter tragedy for Kochuvava as he finally bowed his head for the first time in his life to love and fire.

It is unclear what punishment was given to Raman Nair or whether this made any change in Kochuvava's plans to dig a pond where the palace once stood.
