'''''Pathram''''' ([[English language|English]]: ''The Newspaper'') is a [[List of Malayalam films of 1999|1999]] Indian [[Malayalam cinema|Malayalam]]-language [[political film|political thriller]] film written by [[Renji Panicker]] and directed by [[Joshi (director)|Joshi]], starring [[Suresh Gopi]], [[Manju Warrier]], [[Murali (Malayalam actor)|Murali]], [[N. F. Varghese]], [[Biju Menon]], [[Abhirami (actress)|Abhirami]].

== Synopsis ==

Nandagopal ([[Suresh Gopi]]), an Associate Editor with ''Kerala Reshmi'', one of the leading newspapers, is an aggressive and daring journalist who enjoys a good reputation among the media circle. Born and brought up in [[Mumbai]], Nandan is the son of Venugopal, an iconic journalist who was killed by the textile mafia long back for being a staunch supporter of trade unions. Nandan, in [[Kochi]] meets Shekaran ([[Murali (Malayalam actor)|Murali]]), an old naxalite and his father's friend who is running ''Jagratha'', a newspaper which is feared by the hypocritical political class. Shekaran's outspoken and belligerent nature had earned him more enemies than friends. He is constantly fighting Vishwanathan ([[N. F. Varghese]]), an estranged ideological disciple of Shekaran who rules Kochi with his muscle and money.

Vishwanathan holds a large share in ''Kerala Reshmi'' (acquired through deceit) and enjoys a huge political clout at state and central levels. C.I Haridas, a police officer close to Shekaran, informs him about a vital source to collect evidences against Vishwanathan. Shekaran decides to expose the role of Vishwanathan in the murder of Vincent Peter and numerous other crimes, by publishing the confessions made by a henchman (vital source) of Vishwanathan. The plan is revealed to Vishwanathan by a key journalist in ''Jagratha'' effectively double crossing Shekaran. A bomb explosion orchestrated by Vishwanathan eliminates Shekaran and C.I Haridas.

''Jagratha'', the newspaper run by Shekaran is inherited by Devika Shekar ([[Manju Warrier]]), the only daughter of Shekaran, who is a fiery journalist like her father. Nandan, who was very close to Sekharan, manages to ensure that the case is investigated by an incorruptible officer. Firoze Mohammed ([[Biju Menon]]), the investigating officer, who is also an old admirer of Nandan, is gradually gathering evidences to incriminate Vishwanathan. Nandan is arrested by the police in a fabricated case and sacked from ''Kerala Reshmi''. Meanwhile, Firoz decides to arrest Vishwanathan as he makes a drastic headway into the case. While arresting Vishwanathan, Firoz is killed by the latter and his henchmen. Nandan is released on bail and takes law into his hands. He shoots down Vishwanathan in the climax and takes over as the new Chief Editor of Jagratha.
