About Kavadiyattam
Unni (Jayaram) is in the army, but does not wish to stay there. He feigns a mental illness to get discharged, but has to continue to put on the show in front of his family and villagers when he reaches back home.
Directed by Aniyan, Kavadiyattam leans on a strong ensemble — Jayaram, Jagathy Sreekumar, Sindhuja — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1993.
