Plot

Mazha tells the immaculate love story of Bhadra (Samyuktha Varma) and her music teacher Sastrigal (Biju Menon). The film begins with teenager Bhadra coming to learn music under Sastrigal and getting infatuated with him and his singing. Her creative talents for poetry start to flourish, under his influence. Sastrigal is not much aware of Bhadra's love and considers her only as his talented student. Coming to know about Bhadra's infatuation, her parents took her with them and Sastrigal is obliged to marry his Murappennu (Sindhu). Bhadra becomes a doctor (like her father) and is married to Chandran (Lal) who is a computer engineer. Chandran happens to see her diary one day and the relationship goes for a toss. Of course, there are no names in the diary. So he goes off to doubt every male in her life – including the elderly senior doctor Thilakan . He becomes a victim to his drinking and dies of related illness.

In the end, Bhadra sets out in search of Sastrigal to Madurai where she discovers that Sastrigal also has lost much – his wife is a mental patient and the final shock is when she finds out that Sastrigal has lost his beautiful voice to cancer.

Cast

Reception

Mazha lacks the commercial elements, much like other movies from Lenin Rajendran. The film was critically acclaimed and the acting of the lead charatcres gained recognition. The music by Ravindran was well accepted and the songs like "Ashadam Padumpol", "Ithramel Manamulla Kudamullapoovukal", "Varmukile Vaaname", "Geyam Harinamadheyam" and "Aaradyam Parayum" were well received by music fans.

The song "Aaradyam Parayum" won Asha G. Menon the state award for the Best Female Playback Singer in 2001.
