Achu Raja

The film is based on a legend about the famous warriors of Northern and Central Kerala. According to the legend, Achu, a well-known warrior, lost his life in a duel when his sword broke off at the hilt during the fight. The metal rivets holding the blade to the hilt had been replaced with wooden ones by his trusted ally and cousin, Pinarai, Pinarai is said to have betrayed his cousin because he was jealous of Achu’s popularity and abilities.

Achu Raja represents the Golden Age of Malayalam Cinema. The story was filmed numerous times in the early black-and-white era.

Achu Raja presents an alternative version of the same legend, as it presents the incident from Pinarai's perspective, suggesting that grave injustice has been done to Achu by wrongly accusing him of replacing the rivets. Though the language of the black and white era was generally heavily melodramatic …..
The film consists of flashbacks showing the incidents leading to the death of Achu. It opens with two young men….for more detailed story please refer to any of the Malayalam Daily’s like Manorama, Mathrubumi, Mangalam, Deepika, Veekshnam for the opposite version of the story please refer Deshabimani, Jenayugam ….
