Thazhvaram (transl. The valley) is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language western thriller film directed by Bharathan and written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair. It stars Mohanlal, Salim Ghouse, Sumalatha, Anju, and Sankaradi. It tells the story of Balan (Mohanlal) who's on the lookout for Raju (Salim Ghouse) for avenging the murder of his wife Raji (Anju). Bharathan also composed the only song featured in the film, and the background score was provided by Johnson.
Set in the backdrop of a remote village across a valley in Palakkad, the film is made in the style of a Spaghetti Western film and has achieved a cult status in Kerala since its release. It was both a critical and commercial success with many critics praising Mohanlal’s performance. It is considered one of Mohanlal’s best performances in his career.[1][2][3]
