Makaramanju (English: The Mist of Capricorn) is a 2011 Malayalam language romantic drama film written and directed by Lenin Rajendran.
The film is about a certain stage in the life of a celebrated painter, Raja Ravi Varma.
Ravi Varma, during his work, finds himself attracted to his model, Sugandha Bai, and this relationship begins to acquire certain shades of the legend of Urvashi and Pururavas.
In each of his works on the Indian Puranas, he chose a point in the story that was filled with drama and emotion.
That is why I felt I could understand him better if I concentrated on a work and then narrate the story of the artist's creative process," says the director.
There are eight tracks in the soundtrack, with lyrics by Kavalam Narayana Panicker, K. Jayakumar, and Chandran Nair.
A review by Nowrunning.com writes: "Makaramanju loses grip on its material half way through, and remains an elusive piece that doesn't tug at your heart strings.
"[13] Rediff.com's reviewer said that the film "is watchable but you have to brush up your knowledge of mythology and history to fully appreciate it.
