Lisammayude Veedu (English: Lisamma's House) is a 2013 Malayalam drama film written and directed by Babu Janardhanan and starring Meera Jasmine, Rahul Madhav, and Salim Kumar. It is a sequel to the 2006 film Achanurangatha Veedu. The film was initially titled Samuvelinte Makkal but was later renamed Lisammayude Veedu based on the central character's name.[1]

Plot summary

[edit]

Achanurangaatha Veedu (2006) told the story of a father's suffering as his under-aged daughter, Lisamma, is kidnapped and forced into a sex racket. In Lisammayude Veedu, the young girl, Lisamma, has grown up and seems to have adjusted to her past. She runs a telephone booth and looks after her two sisters and her father who has lost his mental balance after seeing his daughter suffer.

She, however, looks at life with a caustic sense of humour and has become worldly-wise. Her brave attitude wins her an admirer in Shivankutty, who is a head load worker and has communist ideals. He also acts as a strongman for his party when required.

The two get married and life is good for Lisamma as she gives birth to a baby boy. When the child is four years old, Shivankutty's past catches up with him and is killed by his enemies.

The film comments on current situations, is critical of the leftist ideology, and espouses the theory that what goes around comes around.
