'''''Balyakalasakhi''''' is a 2014 [[Malayalam language]] film adaptation of the famous [[Balyakalasakhi (novel)|novel of the same name]] by [[Vaikom Muhammad Basheer]].<ref name="timesofindia.indiatimes.com">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/music/Balyakalasakhi-music-review/articleshow/28938164.cms |title=Balyakalasakhi music review|work=The Times of India|date=2014-01-16 |accessdate=2014-02-17}}</ref> The [[romantic film|romantic]] [[musical film|musical drama film]] was written and directed by debutante Pramod Payyannur and stars [[Mammootty]], [[Isha Talwar]], [[Meena (actress)|Meena]], [[Seema Biswas]], [[KPAC Lalitha]] and [[Mamukkoya]] in lead roles.

The story revolves around childhood sweethearts Majeed ([[Mammootty]]) and Suhra ([[Isha Talwar]]). Born to rich parents, Majeed falls in love with his not-so-affluent neighbour Suhra. After her father's death, when Suhra struggles to make both ends meet, Majeed pleads with his father to sponsor her education. Refused, he wanders off to distant lands.<ref name="indiatimes">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news-interviews/Mammootty-shoots-in-Kolkata/articleshow/24744774.cms |title=Mammootty shoots in Kolkata!|work=The Times of India|date=2013-10-26 |accessdate=2014-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news-and-interviews/Tanushree-to-play-a-freedom-fighter/articleshow/26633701.cms |title=Tanushree to play a freedom fighter|work=The Times of India|date=2013-12-01 |accessdate=2014-02-17}}</ref> Some of the other characters created by Basheer such as Ettukali Mammoonju and Ottakannan Pokker also appear in the film.<ref name="english.manoramaonline.com">{{cite web |url=http://english.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/mmonline.dll/portal/ep/contentView.do?contentId=15940615&tabId=1&programId=11565555&channelId=-1073865026&BV_ID=@@@ |title=Hope people will receive Balyakalasakhi wholeheartedly |publisher=Manorama Online |accessdate=2014-02-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140117030613/http://english.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/contentView.do?contentId=15940615&tabId=1&programId=11565555&channelId=-1073865026&BV_ID=@@@ |archive-date=17 January 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The film has lyrics and music created by several leading masters including [[P. Bhaskaran]], [[K. Raghavan]], [[K. T. Muhammed]], [[O. N. V. Kurup]], [[Kavalam Narayana Panicker]], [[Sreekumaran Thampi]], and Basheer himself.

==Production==
Pramod Payyannur, a familiar name in Malayalam theatre and television, made his debut on the big screen with the film.<ref name="thehindu.com">{{cite web|author=Sunil Naliyath |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/poetry-on-reel/article5660038.ece |title=Poetry on reel |work=The Hindu|date=2014-02-06 |accessdate=2014-02-17}}</ref> Mammootty was chosen to play the lead in film by Pramod Payyannur. He said in an interview with ''[[Malayala Manorama]]'', "[[Vaikom]] is the home of the writer Basheer, the character Majeed and also the actor Mammootty. Only a person who knew that place closely could imbibe that character in both looks and expressions. That search ended in Mammootty."<ref name="english.manoramaonline.com"/>

On being quizzed about the inspiration to choose Kolkata as the location of the film, when Vaikom Muhammed Basheer has not referred to any specific city in the novel, Pramod says that Kolkata is perhaps the only Indian metro that still retains its old world charm and that it perfectly matched the setting of the film's backdrop. Besides, Basheer is believed to have written ''Balyakalasakhi'' during his brief stay at a house in Lower Chitpur Road in Kolkata, he explains.<ref name="thehindu.com"/>

Two seasons were shot in Kerala and Kolkata, West Bengal. The team began shooting in August, 2013 at [[Perumbalam]] near [[Vaikom]]. Mammootty began filming for ''Balyakalasakhi'' at Kolkata in October, 2013. The 18-day schedule included various places such as [[Victoria Memorial]], Chhote Lal Ghat, in front of [[Kolkata Town Hall|Town Hall]].<ref name="indiatimes"/>

==Reception==
Metromatinee.com said "even if it has some limits, it is a timeless and exciting classic, Mammootty as lovelorn Majeed is impressive but a lack of good chemistry with Isha Talwar is a letdown".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.metromatinee.com/movie-review/balyakalasakhi-movie-review-by-rajvikram-436 |title=Balyalakalasakhi Review by Raj Vikram |work=Metro Matinee |access-date=19 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222200410/http://www.metromatinee.com/movie-review/balyakalasakhi-movie-review-by-rajvikram-436 |archive-date=22 February 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' said that Mammootty excelled in the double role as Majeed and as Majeed's father.<ref>http://www.deccanchronicle.com/140208/entertainment-movie-reviews/article/malayalam-movie-balyakalasakhi-review-mammootty-excels</ref>
