Rebel) is a 2010 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film directed by George Varghese Thanthonni stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sheela Kaur, Ambika, Sai Kumar and Suraj Venjaramood.

He is the son of Katrina,the youngest and only daughter of the Vaadakkanveetil Tharavadu, who got pregnant with Kochukunju from a wandering stage artist David out of wedlock (though they later married).

Kochukunju is hated by everyone in his family , except the one who is aware of his honesty, his younger uncle and his cousin-fiancee Helen, because they want to divide the Vadakkan Veetil property and engage in some business and he is a barrier for them.

His cousin comes home and confesses to Katrina that Kochukunju is not what he seems to be, and the tears she has shed for many years have not gone to waste as he turns out to be good.

His mother and younger uncle trick him into going to a de-addiction center, where he makes the owner and doctor,a person who was against alcohol, drink.

One day, Kochukunju saves Hafees Ali Ibrahim who is a do-gooder for the people of Dubai from an accident and becomes his right hand, while his three sons are revealed to be the rogues.

Bhai trusts him more than his sons, and he puts his wealth in Kochukunju's name, helped by his lawyer Anand Sharma.

Kochukunju is happy as his father is back now and, with his mother's permission, blows out the candle that was kept burning in remembrance of David.

His mother gives him a light slap for hiding the truth for so long and the family of Kochukunju, his parents and Helen is united.

If you are the kind who regards a mixture of buffoonery, fights and some heroism as the perfect recipe for entertainment, this one could turn out to be a not-so-bad effort.
