Yodha (Malayalam: യോദ്ധ) is a Malayalam film produced in India in 1992. The film was written and directed by Sangeeth Sivan.
The movie stars Mohanlal, who is told he is the saviour destined to rescue the Rimpoche of a Nepalese Buddhist monastery from
practitioners of black magic. This was the first film with music composed by A. R. Rahman, though it was released after the
blockbuster Roja.
Plot
In an unknown location in the Nepalese Himalayas, a young monk (played by Siddhartha) is about to be crowned the Rimpoche of
the monastery, when a gang of black magicians led by an unnamed character (played by Puneet Issar) kidnap him. It is revealed
that the leader of the black magicians wishes to make a human sacrifice of the Rimpoche in order to attain invincibility. The
other monks in the monastery also understand that the Rimpoche's saviour will arrive from across the Himalayas to rescue him
from the clutches of the black magicians. In the meantime, the young Rimpoche manages to escape from the clutches of the
black magicians and runs away to Kathmandu.
At the other end of the subcontinent, in a small village in Kerala, Ashokan (Mohanlal) is an unemployed youth who, along with
the other members of his club, whiles his time away competing with his cousin Appukuttan (Jagathi Sreekumar) and his club in
a series of trivial competitions. Appukuttan finds himself on the losing side of every such competition, adding to his
insecurity complex, which leads him to suspect Ashokan of having an affair with his, Appukuttan's, fiancee Damayanti (played
by Urvashi).
When an astrologer predicts to Ashokan's mother, Sumathi (played by Sukumari), that Ashokan is likely to commit a murder if
he remains in Kerala, Ashokan is bundled away to Nepal to stay with his uncle Captain (retired) Krishnankutty Menon
(M.S.Thrippunithara), whom he hasn't met since childhood. Unbeknownst to Ashokan, Appukuttan flies into Nepal beforehand and
establishes himself in Krishanankutty Menon (Kutty Mama)'s house, masquerading as Ashokan. Ashokan is cast out onto the
streets of Kathmandu, where he meets the Rimpoche and forms a friendship with the young lad.
Appukuttan attempts to connive his way into marrying Kutty Mama's daughter, Ashwati (Madhoo) - a researcher into Nepalese
traditions and black magic at a university in Kathmandu. But Ashokan, with the Rimpoche's assistance, manages to cast doubt
into the mind of Kutty Mama and win over Ashwati.
Ashokan and Ashwati then witness one of the black magician's minions kidnapping the Rimpoche. Upon following the kidnapper,
they end up confronting the black magician himself. In the ensuing melee, the black magician grievously wounds Ashwati and
blinds Ashokan, and leaves the two of them to their deaths in the forest. Both of them are rescued by the adivasi tribe
tasked with protecting the Rimpoche's monastery. Ashokan is then told of how he is the Chosen One, and is trained by an
adivasi teacher to overcome his blindness and become a warrior tasked with rescuing the Rimpoche.
In the meantime, the jealous and suspicious Appukuttan follows Ashwati and Ashokan into the forest and is captured by a tribe
of adivasis who torture him.
Ashokan then ventures into the black magician's hideout, rescues the Rimpoche, and brings him back to the monastery. The
Rimpoche then, aided by an ailing old monk, restores Ashokan's eyesight. As the solar eclipse nears, the monks begin the
coronation of the Rimpoche. The black magician rushes to the monastery to kill the Rimpoche before he is crowned. But Ashokan
stands in the black magician's way, and in the climactic fight, kills the latter.
Ashokan then discovers that Ashwati is not dead as he'd previously feared. Appukuttan makes a final appearance, trained as a
warrior by the adivasis who captured and tortured him previously. In the comical fight that ensues, Appukuttan is beaten up
by Ashokan.
The movie was mostly shot at Palaghat (Kerala) & Nepal.
