Lord Ravana) is a 2001 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film written and directed by Ranjith in his directorial debut.
The film stars Mohanlal in the dual role of Mangalassery Neelakandan and M. N. Karthikeyan, father and son.
The film features original songs composed by Suresh Peters and background score by C. Rajamani.
Karthikeyan is not able to reach on time to set her pyre on fire - Neelan does the funeral rituals of Bhanumathi - and he's now bent on taking revenge on Shekaran.
Neelan loses his home - as Shekaran, his nephew Rajendran and the board of directors of the Bank decides to attach the Mangalassery House - and Karthikeyan ventures out in an attempt to reclaim his ancestral home – where Bhanumathi was cremated and her eternal urn stands on the Mangalassery soil.
He tries to acquire the house legally from an auction with the assistance of the State Home Minister and MLA Sivadasan (Kunjananthan's son and Karthikeyan's childhood friend), but Shekaran and his cunning nephew Mundakkal Rajendran, along with Rajendran's evil accomplice Maniyampra Purushothaman acquire it back using a faux concealed tender.
Karthikeyan gets the Mangalassery House (Tharavadu) back when Shekaran strikes a compromise without the knowledge of Rajendran and Janaki's fiancé, Sreenivasan Nambiar IPS.
In the end, the eternal urns of Bhanumathi and Neelakandan are shown; Karthikeyan becomes the head of the Mangalassery house, and Sreenivasan gives Janaki back to him, thus parting ways with the would-be couple on a happy note.
