Rappakal is a 2005 Indian Malayalam-language film directed by Kamal and written by T. A. Razzaq. Mammootty, Nayanthara and Sharada appear in the lead roles.
Synopsis
Rappakal tells the story of Krishnan, a deeply loyal domestic help who has dedicated his life to serving an aristocratic family and their matriarch, Saraswathiyamma.
