Chottanikkara Amma is a 1976 Indian Malayalam film, directed by Crossbelt Mani and produced by Thiruvonam Pictures. The film stars Srividya, Kaviyoor Ponnamma, Adoor Bhasi and Hari in the lead roles. The film has musical score by R. K. Shekhar [1] [2] [3] and lyrics by Bharanikkavu Sivakumar
A family of four visit the temple of the almighty Chottanikkara Devi to get rid of the evil possessing their daughter. They are aided by a humble saint, who provides them shelter and other needs. The saint then narrates the story of how the temple came into existence and other legends associated with the temple. Later, they enter the temple, where they witness the Keezhkavu pooja. During this time, Chottanikkara Devi battles the evil being and frees their daughter from possession.
The music was composed by R. K. Shekhar when he was in bed for treatment, and he died leaving the project incomplete. Later on, his close friend and prominent musician, M.K. Arjunan completed the project by arranging and recording the songs that Shekhar composed. [4]
