==Plot==

VKV [[Murali]] sets out for an overnight journey to meet his friend Abraham sir [[MG Soman]] following the receipt of a telegram from Abraham sir's side. Perplexed on why such a telegram was sent instead of a letter, VKV recounts their relationship and how they inspired each other, throughout the journey. The journey focuses on the lives of fellow travelers also. An NRI in the bus, a wedding party etc. At the fag end of the journey, VKV sees the man sitting next to him, bride's father [[Karamana]] die. VKV reaches his destination only to find Abraham sir's dead body. Abraham sir's daughter tells VKV that her father was waiting for him on his dead bed and said VKV would be travelling in bus and will see him die while travelling. VKV gets shocked. Abraham sir in one of their old discussions had said life is a repeatition of the set of same images, though the characters essentially only the people change.

==Critical response==
For [https://Plumeriamovies.com plumeriamovies] Arjun Anand <ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2020-06-21|title='Yaathrayude Anthyam' ponders on Death and grief through the radical lens|url=https://www.plumeriamovies.com/yaathrayude-anthyam-ponders-on-death-and-grief-through-the-radical-lens/|access-date=2020-08-29|website=Plumeria Movies|language=en-GB}}</ref> wrote, ''Yaathrayude Anthyam'' is the most simplest film of the writer, it almost feels like a stretched out slice-of-life episode. But the filmmaking is quietly engaging. Death is a very melodramatic subject. If his contemporaries, Padmarajan in his [[Moonnam Pakkam]], Lohithadas in [[Bharatham]] or Dennis Joseph in [[Akashadoothu]] among others, treated death and grief with melodrama and exuberant poignance, KG George’s take on the subject―just like any other work of his―is subdued, objective and intellectual. The profoundness in his writing is not literary like MT/Lohi, it’s rather rational.
