==Plot==
==Plot==
Sujata is introduced as a mute single daughter of Mallikarjunan and Kamala, a Hindu family. She is also a talented [[Kathak]] dancer. One day Sujata meets [[Sufi]] on a bus. Sufi is a [[whirling dervish]] and a Muslim scholar who returns after an expedition to meet his [[Ustad]]. There he loses his [[misbaha]] (prayer beads), which Sujatha returns to him. Later, one day Sufi gifts his misbaha to Sujata, which was a gift from his mother. Soon after, they fall in love and decide to elope. Instead, her father marries her off to a well-to-do NRI Rajeev, in Dubai. Bearing in mind that interfaith relationships are claimed by the Hindu Nationalists as fraudulent [[Love Jihad]], Sujata's father argues with Ustad about the consequences of Love. Five years later, she thinks that love is lost.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
''Sufiyum Sujatayum'' is directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, known for his debut directorial ''[[Karie]]'' (2015).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |date=22 June 2020 |title=Sufiyum Sujatayum to being streaming on Amazon Prime Video from July 3 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/malayalam/sufiyum-sujatayum-amazon-prime-video-july-3-6471014 |access-date=22 June 2020 |work=[[The Indian Express]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Producer [[Vijay Babu (actor, born 1976)|Vijay Babu]] watched a preview screening of Karie and liked Shanavas' direction. After the premiere, Shanavas narrated the film's story to Babu and insisted him to act in the lead role. But as Babu insisted to elevate the story further, the scope of the project became bigger with the inclusion of [[Aditi Rao Hydari]] and composer [[M. Jayachandran]]. Hence, he instead chose [[Jayasurya]] for the lead role, after he previously produced ''[[Aadu (film)|Aadu]]'' (2015), ''[[Aadu 2]]'' (2017) and [[Thrissur Pooram (film)|''Thrissur Pooram'']] (2019).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |date=2020-07-01 |title=Sufiyum Sujatayum producer Vijay Babu: Finding the right actor to play Sujata was the toughest task |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/malayalam/sufiyum-sujatayum-aditi-rao-hydari-vijay-babu-6483995/ |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;
=== Casting ===
Vijay Babu narrated the film's script to Jayasurya in mid-2019, which made the latter emotional; he described it as "a moment that he did not see on screen" expressing the emotional quotient of the film and did not read the script due to his confidence on it.{{Citation needed|date=July 2025}} The film marked [[Aditi Rao Hydari]]'s return to Malayalam cinema after 14 years since ''[[Prajapathi]]'' (2006). On accepting the script, Hydari felt that she was drawn to the "fairytale-like quality" of the story adding that "The emotions of the characters are so flawed and yet so sweet and innocent that it almost felt unreal [...] It was an unreal world with real emotions".&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2020-07-03 |title=I was drawn to 'Sufiyum Sujatayum' for its fable-like quality: Aditi Rao Hydari |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2020/Jul/03/i-was-drawn-to-sufiyum-sujatayum-for-its-fable-like-quality-aditi-rao-hydari-2164945.html |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; She described her character Sujata as "an embodiment of [that] true love, innocence and purity".&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Aditi Rao Hydari: Once things get back to normal, I am sure theatres will regain their place |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/aditi-rao-hydari-once-things-get-back-to-normal-i-am-sure-theatres-will-regain-their-place-1696193-2020-07-02 |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=India Today |date=2 July 2020 |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;
Dev Mohan made his acting debut with the film. He auditioned for his role as Sufi in late-2017, and eventually selected for the role. For his character, he practised the moves of [[Sufi whirling|whirling]]—a Sufi meditation practiced by dervishing orders in circles—by watching videos in [[YouTube]]; Mohan described it as a difficult process as he used to feel dizzy and took him nine months for practising it. He also learnt Arabic for the character.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |last=M |first=Athira |date=2020-06-30 |title=Dev Mohan makes his acting début in 'Sufiyum Sujatayum' opposite Aditi Rao Hydari |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/in-conversation-with-dev-mohan-who-makes-his-debut-in-sufiyum-sujatayum-releasing-on-amazon-prime/article59859493.ece |access-date=2024-01-31 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}&lt;/ref&gt;
=== Filming ===
The film was officially announced on 20 September 2019, with principal photography commencing the same day.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |date=20 September 2019 |title=Jayasurya to act with Aditi Rao Hydari in Sufiyum Sujatayum |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/jayasurya-to-act-with-aditi-rao-hydari-in-sufiyum-sujatayum/articleshow/71212684.cms |access-date=15 May 2020 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news |date=21 September 2019 |title=Jayasurya joins Aditi Rao in 'Sufiyum Sujatayum' |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2019/sep/21/jayasurya-joins-aditi-rao-in-sufiyum-sujathayum-2036662.html |access-date=15 May 2020 |work=[[The New Indian Express]]}}&lt;/ref&gt; Anu Moothedath handled the cinematography. The film was shot in three locations across [[Gundlupet]], [[Karnataka]] and [[Kerala]]; according to Moothedath, Aboob's house was set in Karnataka and Sujata's in Kerala. The river scenes were shot in [[Attappadi]]. As the crew could not find the appropriate places, the three locations were combined to appear as one location in the film.&lt;ref name=":0"&gt;{{Cite web |last=Shrijith |first=Sajin |date=2020-07-10 |title=Sufiyum Sujatayum was shot in three different locations: Cinematographer Anu Moothedath |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2020/Jul/10/sufiyum-sujatayum-was-shot-in-three-different-locations-cinematographer-anu-moothedath-2167627.html |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; The film was shot for 40 days.&lt;ref name=":0" /&gt;
Aditi Rao Hydari was trained in sign language by [[Livin C. Lonakutty]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|title = സൂഫിയും സുജാതയും; അതിഥി റാവുവിനെ ആംഗ്യഭാഷ പഠിപ്പിച്ച തൃശൂര്‍കാരന്‍ |url = https://www.doolnews.com/sufiyum-sujathayum-livin-from-thrissur-taught-bollywood-actor-aditi-rao-hydari-sign-language.html|publisher =  doolnews |date = 4 July 2020|accessdate = 1 February 2021 |language = Malayalam }}&lt;/ref&gt;
=== Costume design ===
Moothedath opted for vibrant colours for the flashback portions, and relatively muted colours in the present to reflect Sujata's mindset. He eventually refrained using blue coloured costumes, except for the saree which Sujata wears in the climax, as "I wanted the past settings to give off a magical vibe—a contrast to the stark reality of the present" and felt that the costumes, set design and light would be perfectly blend in order to achieve the right feeling.&lt;ref name=":0" /&gt; Sameera Sanesh was the costume designer. She was ensured to contrast the colours of costume between Aditi and Dev, as well the sets in the film.&lt;ref name=":0" /&gt;

Sufiyum Sujatayum (transl. Sufi and Sujata) is a 2020 Indian Malayalam-language romantic drama film. It is written and directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, and produced by Vijay Babu under his production company Friday Film House. It stars Jayasurya in the lead role along with Dev Mohan and Aditi Rao Hydari in the title roles. It was released on Amazon Prime Video on 3 July 2020. Actor Dev Mohan made his debut through this film.

Plot

Sujatha is a mute single daughter of Mallikarjunan and Kamala, a Hindu family. She is also a talented Kathak dancer. One day Sujatha meets Sufi on a bus. Sufi is a whirling dervish and a Muslim scholar who returns after an expedition to meet his Ustad. There he loses his misbaha (prayer beads), which Sujatha returns to him. Later, Sufi gifts his misbaha to Sujatha, which was a gift from his mother. Soon after, they fall in love and decide to elope. However, she decides to stay back when her father threatens suicide.Ten years later, she is married to a NRI doctor named V. R. Rajeev, in Dubai with their daughter and thinks that love is lost.

Sufi returns to the village after ten years. Ustad is no more. Sufi visits his grave at the mosque cemetery. Imam finds him there and invites him inside. Sufi gives out the call to prayer and gathers people. Unfortunately, he dies during that prayer. Sujatha is devastated by the news of Sufi's death. Rajeev, who madly loves Sujatha, decides to bring her back to the village to attend Sufi's burial which may help her say goodbye. They reach the funeral only after Sufi's body is in the process of burial. Rajeev pays a visit at the grave, since females aren't allowed inside.

Later that evening, Rajeev realizes that he has lost his passport. After searching for it everywhere, he concludes that it could've fallen from his pocket into Sufi's grave. Rajeev and Mallikarjunan decide to unearth the grave, together with their tenant Kumaran. But the trio ends up bickering with one another when they can't find the passport. Meanwhile, Sujatha arrives there with the passport, which she had hidden so she could return the misbaha, once the grave is unearthed. The couple catches flight to return to Dubai and she lay her head on Rajeev's shoulder.

Development

Sufiyum Sujatayum is directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, known for his debut directorial Karie (2015).<ref>"Sufiyum Sujatayum to being streaming on Amazon Prime Video from July 3". The Indian Express. 22 June 2020. Retrieved 22 June 2020.</ref> Producer Vijay Babu watched a preview screening of Karie and liked Shanavas' direction. After the premiere, Shanavas narrated the film's story to Babu and insisted him to act in the lead role. But as Babu insisted to elevate the story further, the scope of the project became bigger with the inclusion of Aditi Rao Hydari and composer M. Jayachandran. Hence, he instead chose Jayasurya for the lead role, after he previously produced Aadu (2015), Aadu 2 (2017) and Thrissur Pooram (2019).<ref>"Sufiyum Sujatayum producer Vijay Babu: Finding the right actor to play Sujata was the toughest task". The Indian Express. 1 July 2020. Retrieved 31 January 2024.</ref>

Casting

Vijay Babu narrated the film's script to Jayasurya in mid-2019, which made the latter emotional; he described it as "a moment that he did not see on screen" expressing the emotional quotient of the film and did not read the script due to his confidence on it.[citation needed] The film marked Aditi Rao Hydari's return to Malayalam cinema after 14 years since Prajapathi (2006). On accepting the script, Hydari felt that she was drawn to the "fairytale-like quality" of the story adding that "The emotions of the characters are so flawed and yet so sweet and innocent that it almost felt unreal [...] It was an unreal world with real emotions".<ref>"I was drawn to 'Sufiyum Sujatayum' for its fable-like quality: Aditi Rao Hydari". The New Indian Express. 3 July 2020. Retrieved 31 January 2024.</ref> She described her character Sujata as "an embodiment of [that] true love, innocence and purity".<ref>"Aditi Rao Hydari: Once things get back to normal, I am sure theatres will regain their place". India Today. 2 July 2020. Retrieved 31 January 2024.</ref>

Dev Mohan made his acting debut with the film. He auditioned for his role as Sufi in late-2017, and eventually selected for the role. For his character, he practised the moves of whirling—a Sufi meditation practiced by dervishing orders in circles—by watching videos in YouTube; Mohan described it as a difficult process as he used to feel dizzy and took him nine months for practising it. He also learnt Arabic for the character.<ref>M, Athira (30 June 2020). "Dev Mohan makes his acting début in 'Sufiyum Sujatayum' opposite Aditi Rao Hydari". The Hindu. ISSN 0971-751X. Retrieved 31 January 2024.</ref>

Filming

The film was officially announced on 20 September 2019, with principal photography commencing the same day.<ref>"Jayasurya to act with Aditi Rao Hydari in Sufiyum Sujatayum". The Times of India. 20 September 2019. Retrieved 15 May 2020.</ref><ref>"Jayasurya joins Aditi Rao in 'Sufiyum Sujatayum'". The New Indian Express. 21 September 2019. Retrieved 15 May 2020.</ref> Anu Moothedath handled the cinematography. The film was shot in three locations across Gundlupet, Karnataka and Kerala; according to Moothedath, Aboob's house was set in Karnataka and Sujata's in Kerala. The river scenes were shot in Attappadi. As the crew could not find the appropriate places, the three locations were combined to appear as one location in the film.<ref name=":0">Shrijith, Sajin (10 July 2020). "Sufiyum Sujatayum was shot in three different locations: Cinematographer Anu Moothedath". The New Indian Express. Retrieved 31 January 2024.</ref> The film was shot for 40 days.<ref name=":0" /> Aditi Rao Hydari was trained in sign language by Livin C. Lonakutty.<ref>"സൂഫിയും സുജാതയും; അതിഥി റാവുവിനെ ആംഗ്യഭാഷ പഠിപ്പിച്ച തൃശൂര്‍കാരന്‍" (in Malayalam). doolnews. 4 July 2020. Retrieved 1 February 2021.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: unrecognized language (link)</ref>

Costume design

Moothedath opted for vibrant colours for the flashback portions, and relatively muted colours in the present to reflect Sujata's mindset. He eventually refrained using blue coloured costumes, except for the saree which Sujata wears in the climax, as "I wanted the past settings to give off a magical vibe—a contrast to the stark reality of the present" and felt that the costumes, set design and light would be perfectly blend in order to achieve the right feeling.<ref name=":0" /> Sameera Sanesh was the costume designer. She was ensured to contrast the colours of costume between Aditi and Dev, as well the sets in the film.<ref name=":0" />

Music

Main article: Sufiyum Sujatayum (soundtrack)

The soundtrack and film score were composed by M Jayachandran. The soundtrack runs for over nineteen minutes and has seven tracks; sung by Sudeep Palanad, Nithya Mammen, and Amrutha Suresh. Manoj Yadav and B. K. Harinarayanan were the lyricists.

Reception

Giving a rating of three stars, Sanjith Sridharan of The Times of India wrote that Shanavas "managed to shed light on the struggles, societal presumptions and how ‘religion is just a person's opinion’, through subtle dialogues".<ref>"Sufiyum Sujatayum Review : A soulful love story". The Times of India. ISSN 0971-8257.

In a negative review, Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost gave 1.5 out of 5 summarising "Deceptive marketing might have been partly forgiven if Sufiyum Sujatayum had something worthwhile to offer."<ref>"Sufiyum Sujatayum movie review: Jayasurya is more effective in his supporting role than the leads of this listless film".
