-'''Ochira Velukutty''' (1905–1954) was an [[India]]n dramatist in the early days of [[Malayalam]] theatre. The Malayalam theatre began as an offshoot of Tamil theatre. In South [[Kerala]], the monotony of the ''sangeetha natakam'' (musical play) was broken in 1930 by the play ''Karuna'', an adaptation of [[Kumaran Asan]]'s famous poetic piece. The adaptation was done by Brahmavrathan and the actors [[Sebastian Kunjukunju Bhagavathar]] and Ochira Velukutty. This adaptation constituted a radical breakthrough in the 'sangeetha nataka' tradition and its implications were far reaching. It became part of the social reformist movement being led by the precepts of [[Sree Narayana Guru]]. It made history, having been staged more than 7,000 times over seven years. The heroine of the story, Vasavadatha, was played by Velukutty and secured him a place in the history of Malayalam theatre.
