Pazhassi Raja has significance on national level

Pazhassi Raja, one of the most eagerly awaited films of the recent times, is based on epic proportions. The mega-budget film (made at a budget never heard of before in Malayalam Cinema), has none other than Mammootty in title role. The National award winning actor met Screen at Palani (Pazhani), where he was shooting for his new film, Chattambinaaduv How did this film happen, with you, Hariharan and M.T.Vasudevan Nair coming together after so long, a gap of time? It was twenty years back, in 1989, that we had got together to make Oru Vadakkan …, which was taken from the folklores of Kerala. The film got many awards and I got the National award for that movie , along with of course Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s film too. And after that, we were thinking of doing another film on the same lines.

Death of Pazhassi Raja - The resistance movement in north Kerala came to an end

Thomas Harvey Babar, a young British officer came as the sub collector of Thalassery in 1804 and was assigned the responsibility of suppressing the Pazhassi revolution. In April, he issued a directive making it illegal for the local population to help the revolutionaries and he also mandated that the British should be informed about the movements of the revolutionaries. On June 16, a reward was announced for the capture of Pazhassi and his commanders and soon Thalakkal Chanthu was captured. On November 1st 1805, Baber took direct charge of the operations and on November 30th Pazhassi Raja was surrounded and by the British army was shot dead. The Raja's body was cremated with "customary honours". With the death of Pazhassi Raja, the resistance movement in north Kerala came to an end. His body was taken back with respect by the British and cremated, but his death bought an end to the resistance movement. The other leaders either committed suicide or left the country. Purali
