Story of Manikyakallu
The main cast of Manikyakallu are
Prithviraj and Samvritha Sunil. The story revolves around a government school called Vannanmala school. It is one of the most popular schools in that district. Even with its outstanding past, the school ultimately starts to fail in its functioning and gradually the number of students being enrolled in the school reduces to a huge extent. As a result, the school is on the verge of being shut down. All the teachers of the school, including the principal Kurup Maash (Nedumudi Venu) lose all hopes and carry on with their own personal activities without paying enough heed to the duties towards the school. The principal also begins to use a part of the school area as a warehouse for his fertiliser factory. To make matters worse, the results of the final examinations of the school's existing batch were also pathetic. Innocent is portraying the role of the school's Head master.
During these circumstances, a young teacher named Vinayachandran (Prithviraj) enters the picture and requests to get a transfer to this government school. Undoubtedly, this act of his shocks everyone else, especially the faculty of the government school. Even after knowing the current situation of the school, Prithviraj arrives there with some good intentions and plans in his mind to revive the school. How the young teacher achieve this target is what forms the crux of the film's story. The film has the right mixture of sentiments and comedy. The characters in the film are very much relatable and the entire story has a natural and realistic touch to it. Samvritha Sunil is the heroine in this film and her character is named as Chandni. She is also teaching in the government school as a sports teacher but she is not really dedicated towards her duties of educating the children. Chandni mainly comes to school just to make money by selling off her farm products to the other staff in the school.

The film also has a very huge list of experienced cast including Jagathy, Bindu panicker, Jagadeesh, Salim kumar, K.P.A.C Lalitha, Anil Murali, Indrans, Anoop Chandran, Mukesh, Kottayam Nazeer and many more.

Member since April 2011
I am basically from Kerala (Thrissur) but i've settled in Dubai (UAE). I have a post graduate degree in Software Engineering and i've worked with Infosys, Chennai for a year before getting married and then moved to the gulf. At present, i'm a homemaker and i've a 2 year old son. I hope to increase my knowledge and also share whatever i know through this site.
Professional background
I am a Software engineer with 1 year of professional experience in software development and documentation with Infosys Technologies Ltd (Chennai branch). I had to undergo an extensive training for one and half months at Infosys, Mysore in .Net technology. At Infosys i have done various jobs related to software such as documentation, testing excel sheets, coding and conversions.
After quitting from Infosys and moving to Dubai, i worked with a Dubai-based company for few months as a Graphics designer. During my college days, i've acquired a certificate in Multimedia course from the Xplora Design School in Trichur. Though my post graduate degree is that of software development, i'm very much interested in multimedia and i am quite skilled in Photoshop.
During my school and college days, i was always very active in inter-school and inter-college competitions such as ad-blitz, essay writing, singing and elocution.
Since i'm not working right now and i'm a homemaker and quite busy taking care of my 2 year old son, i've joined Spiderkerala to do some freelancing work and to earn some money through it. It is a good medium to share one's knowledge and also to learn a lot from the other members too.
