Plot

Suryakantha tells the story of an ageing couple living out their last days. The couple, both Kathakali artists, live a dreary life and their only comfort is the lovely memories of a glorious past where they had amazed the audiences with outstanding performances. Janaki (Simi Baiju), who was a dancer in her prime, is now bed-ridden and Narayanan, (Rajesh Hebbar) her husband, who was once a famous Kathakali singer, is making a living as a carpenter. His only aim in life is to keep his ailing wife comfortable and happy.

gollark: The consumer things will inevitably have poor security, probably backdoors, and the ability to accept feeds you don't really want for advertising.
gollark: It probably isn't just that, you can get fairly cheap tablets; probably people just don't want to carry around and manage data on two devices.
gollark: Do you just somehow always manage to not go anywhere with worse internet?
gollark: Well, I can't fix it easily, practically and legally.
gollark: Anyway, it would certainly be nice to have universal high-speed internet connectivity, but I don't and I can't fix it.
