== Plot ==
Years ago, in Persia Ram Madhav was a famous painter who was killed by his illegitimate son Amar Madhav for killing his mother Salma. His mother abandoned him shortly after his birth and it was Ram Madhav who nurtured Amar. Amar kills Ram Madhav and takes the painting of his mother with him as his last rememberence of her.

Years later, in Kerala, Sidhiq, a plumber and electrician, Sophia, an IT engineer, Zachariah, a cook, and Robin, a cctv tehnician get an invitation from Ramachandra boss and company for a project in Dubai. Upon reaching Dubai they realised they had been called to undertake a robbery planned by Ramachandra and his assistant Sailesh. Hearing this, they want to return home but are compelled to commit the robbery because of their own personal troubles. As a part of their trial strategy, they rob Jessy's bag, who is also in Dubai and Jessy join them on the mission after her passport goes missing.

They target the painting, Salma the angel which is kept in Amar Palace. Ramachandra tells them that it was his mother's painting that was allegedly stolen by Amar Madhav, killing his father, Ram Madhav, and Ramachandra, who witnessed the murder as a toddler.

They join as workers in Amar Palace gaining control over the palace by hijacking the security system and all the happenings in the palace can be monitored remotely by Ramachandra. Inside the palace Sailesh gets apprehended by Amar and his henchmen and through Sailesh Ramachandra's whereabouts are found. They reach his location only to find that Ramachandra and his gang have escaped through a tunnel beneath their tent.

Amar plans to sell the painting in the exhibition hall during the biennale at the Hotel Grand Park. The painting is taken to the exhibition hall by a truck, where Ramachandra and his gang disguisedly chase the truck and seize it, merely to find out that Amar has replaced the original painting.

During the biennale exhibition Ramachandra's gang arrives holding Amar at threat of firearms. Shailesh and Siddique seize and pass the painting through a duct system and Mathan who receives it, gives it to the Russians who want to buy it before realising that it is fake. Ramachandra's gang is captured by enraged Amar, who demands that Ramachandra return the painting, but Ramachandra tells him to kill his gang and that all he needed was the painting. Amar then chases Ramachandra and engages in a fight during which Amar is slain. Later, it is revealed that it was Alex, one of Amar's henchmen, who helped Ramachandra break the ducts in the mid way, replacing the painting, sending fake through it and keeping the original underneath Ramachandra's car. Mathan, who collects money from Russians in exchange for the painting, hides the original money and returns them fake money when the Russians ask for it back, realising the painting is a duplicate. The money is then distributed to Ramachandra's gang, who then return to Kerala. They arrive in Kerala and find where Ramachandra's mother is. It is revealed that Salma, who is alive now, has used Conman Ramachandra to concoct a false story to get back her painting drawn by her husband, who was killed by Amar.

== Plot ==
Sujatha Krishnan ([[Manju Warrier]]) is a high-school drop-out, a young widow and a single mother in living in the city of [[Thiruvananthapuram]]. She lives to see her daughter Athira's ([[Anaswara Rajan]]) academic success, taking up more and more trivial jobs at apartments and factories to support her schooling (and the planned expensive "private coaching" for [[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC]]). Her daughter, though, is far from grateful. She is unmotivated, never studies properly, gets low marks in her school exams and won't quit believing that she can't be anything more than a petty "domestic help" like her mother.

Sujatha narrates her dilemma to her rich employer George Paul ([[Nedumudi Venu]]). A kind and open-hearted man, he tells Sujatha about an uncanny solution to her daughter's poor academic performance. Under the new plan, Sujatha will enrol in her daughter's school so that she can learn math and tutor Athira herself. This embarrasses Athira. Sujatha slowly starts impressing her classmates and scores pretty much well in maths exams. No one, except for the school's kind principal, is aware of Sujatha's relationship to Athira. Athira begs Sujatha to stop attending the school. She is angered by Sujatha's success in math, as she herself continues to fail to understand it. Both of them starts a rivalry where if Athira scores more marks than Sujatha, then she should leave school. Athira, seeing no other solution but to score better than Sujatha, starts studying well. She scores a "personal" record 58% marks in her next mathematics exam. Sujatha is happy, and leaves school.

Sujatha, being naïve, decides to meet the [[District Collector (India)|District Collector]] Deepa ([[Mamta Mohandas]]) to plan her daughter's academic future. She somehow manages get into collector's residence and tells the Collector about her dream to see Athira as a District Collector. The Collector - much to the surprise of Sujatha - tells her that she herself came from a very low income family and couldn't afford to go to expensive private "coaching classes" for Civil Service Exams.

Sujatha soon discovers that Athira only scored good marks in the last series of exams because she didn't want to attend classes with Sujatha. Determined to change her, Sujatha again starts attending the school. Sujatha now starts taking more and more jobs, works late into the night in small restaurants, and saves more and more money for Athira (and to pay out her family debts). One day, Sujatha finds out that Athira has stolen her savings to buy expensive school bags, slippers and dress. Sujatha gets humiliated by the landlady Thulasi ([[Abhija Sivakala]]) to whom she owes money. Athira suspects that Sujatha is earning money by prostitution. The relation between the mother and daughter reaches an all-time low.

While going to work, Sujatha meets with a road accident and is severely wounded. In the hospital, Athira gets to know from her friend Rajeev that Sujatha is not doing any prostitution but she is working day and night in a small restaurant in the city. Athira visits Sujatha in the hospital and asks for forgiveness and vows to "study hard from now on".

After realising her mistakes, Athira passes the ([[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC]]) exams with good marks, along with Sujatha, and she eventually fulfils her mother's dream by becoming a District Collector. After being asked what inspired her to apply for the Administrative Service, she answers that she is inspired by her mother, who now tutors economically backward students for free.

== Critical reception ==
The film released in Kerala to positive reviews from the critics. [[Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari]], director of ''[[Nil Battey Sannata]]'', the original 2015 film on which ''Udaharanam Sujatha'' was based, [[twitter|tweeted]] that she loved the film and praised the songs.<ref name="twitter.com">https://twitter.com/Ashwinyiyer/status/916512758543372288</ref>

''Malayalam Manorama'' describes, "Manju Warrier and Anaswara Ranjan together have captured the authenticity of the characters with the story-line's intensity, the warmth of mother-daughter love that culminates is the grand catharsis. Nedumudi Venu as scriptwriter George Paul and Joju George as school headmaster with de-glam avatars do justice to their roles by getting into the skin of the character as the story progresses. [Phantom] Praveen have pitched the characters on the right spot with moderation throughout the story."<ref name=":2"/>

''[[Times of India]]'' noted the film to be "an interesting story, good performances, music and subtle humour, all of which merit your time in the theatre."<ref name=":3">{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/udaharanam-sujatha/movie-review/60870053.cms | title=Udaharanam Sujatha Movie Review | first=Deepa | last=Soman | date=28 September 2017 | newspaper=The Times of India | access-date=27 March 2018 }}</ref>

== Plot ==
Sujatha Krishnan ([[Manju Warrier]]) is a high-school drop-out, a young widow and a single mother in living in the city of [[Thiruvananthapuram]]. She lives to see her daughter Athira's ([[Anaswara Rajan]]) academic success, taking up more and more trivial jobs at apartments and factories to support her schooling (and the planned expensive "private coaching" for [[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC]]). Her daughter, though, is far from grateful. She is unmotivated, never studies properly, gets low marks in her school exams and won't quit believing that she can't be anything more than a petty "domestic help" like her mother.

Sujatha narrates her dilemma to her rich employer George Paul ([[Nedumudi Venu]]). A kind and open-hearted man, he tells Sujatha about an uncanny solution to her daughter's poor academic performance. Under the new plan, Sujatha will enrol in her daughter's school so that she can learn math and tutor Athira herself. This embarrasses Athira. Sujatha slowly starts impressing her classmates and scores pretty much well in maths exams. No one, except for the school's kind principal, is aware of Sujatha's relationship to Athira. Athira begs Sujatha to stop attending the school. She is angered by Sujatha's success in math, as she herself continues to fail to understand it. Both of them starts a rivalry where if Athira scores more marks than Sujatha, then she should leave school. Athira, seeing no other solution but to score better than Sujatha, starts studying well. She scores a "personal" record 58% marks in her next mathematics exam. Sujatha is happy, and leaves school.

Sujatha, being naïve, decides to meet the [[District Collector (India)|District Collector]] ([[Mamta Mohandas]]) to plan her daughter's academic future. She somehow manages get into collector's residence and tells the Collector about her dream to see Athira as a District Collector. The Collector - much to the surprise of Sujatha - tells her that she herself came from a very low income family and couldn't afford to go to expensive private "coaching classes" for Civil Service Exams.

Sujatha soon discovers that Athira only scored good marks in the last series of exams because she didn't want to attend classes with Sujatha. Determined to change her, Sujatha again starts attending the school. Sujatha now starts taking more and more jobs, works late into the night in small restaurants, and saves more and more money for Athira (and to pay out her family debts). One day, Sujatha finds out that Athira has stolen her savings to buy expensive school bags, slippers and dress. Sujatha gets humiliated by the landlady Thulasi ([[Abhija Sivakala]]) to whom she owes money. Athira suspects that Sujatha is earning money by prostitution. The relation between the mother and daughter reaches an all-time low.

While going to work, Sujatha meets with a road accident and is severely wounded. In the hospital, Athira gets to know from her friend Rajeev that Sujatha is not doing any prostitution but she is working day and night in a small restaurant in the city. Athira visits Sujatha in the hospital and asks for forgiveness and vows to "study hard from now on".

After realising her mistakes, Athira passes the ([[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC]]) exams with good marks, along with Sujatha, and she eventually fulfils her mother's dream by becoming a District Collector. After being asked what inspired her to apply for the Administrative Service, she answers that she is inspired by her mother, who now tutors economically backward students for free.
