Daivathinte Vikrithikal

Daivathinte Vikrithikal Malayalam , English The Ways of God is a 1992 Malayalam feature film cowritten and directed by Lenin Rajendran based on M. Mukundans novel of the same name. The film tells the story of Alphonso, a man who chooses to suffer a slow, torturous life in his little village, Mahe, in preference to fortunes and pleasures away from it. Raghuvaran, Srividya, Rajan P. Dev and Malavika Avinash play the pivotal roles.

The story begins in 1954, when the French, the colonial rulers were packing off from Mah, a coastal town in North Malabar, after 230 years, leaving behind remnants of a cultural history. Those, who considered themselves as belonging to Francophone culture, jumped onto the first available vessel to France.Alphonso ignored the repeated pleas of his wife, Maggi to leave the land, where they no longer belonged. The new social order became more, suffocating as Alphonsos earnings as a magician of sorts dwindled. The arrival of their son, Michael, from France revived hopes of a life without poverty, but Michael went back, leaving behind counterfeit gold and plunging the Alphonso family in deeper debts. Daughter Elsies affair with Sasi became a local scandal. ........
