Kalippattam (transl. Toy) is a 1993 Indian Malayalam-language film written and directed by Venu Nagavalli and starring Mohanlal, Urvashi, Thilakan, Kaviyoor Ponnamma, Jagathy and Nedumudi Venu. Mohanlal also sang a song ("Vazhiyoram") with Chithra for the film. The story is about the love between a violinist played by Mohanlal and a terminally ill (with aplastic anaemia) girl played by Urvashi. The music and background score were composed by Raveendran.[1][2]

Plot

Venugopal is a factory worker who struggles to provide for his family. When he is dismissed from his position, he tries desperately to reach out to the owner, Menon, to get himself reinstated. During these encounters, Menon's daughter, Saro, becomes captivated by Venu's music and wit, and eventually they get married.

Menon arranges the marriage after revealing to Venu that Saro is terminally ill with aplastic anaemia. Venu accedes as the union will lift his family out of destitution. They go on to have a daughter. Saro's condition worsens, and she succumbs following a bone marrow transplant. Their daughter is revealed to have a similar terminal illness.
