Otta Nanayam is a 2005 Malayalam-language film directed by Suresh Kannan and written by Kaloor Dennis. It stars Dinu Dennis and Priyamani in the lead roles, with music composed by S. P. Venkatesh.

Plot[edit]

The film tells the story of Aravindan (Dinu Dennis), a poor person from lower-middle-class family who was forced to join a colony of beggars so he could make some money for the liver operation of his ailing mother. This is where he meets Chippy (Priyamani), who lives the life of a beggar with poor children. The film shows the organized begging racket in cities, exploitation by anti-social elements and sad life of the people who are initially forced into this profession and do not get a chance for a better life.[1]
