Aanachandam (2006)

This offbeat drama delves into the adventures in the life of Krishna Prasad (Jayaram), a fearless young man with a passionate interest in elephants. When he was a ten-year old child his father had taken him to the village temple to attend the festival. An elephant which ran amok during the festival knocked the boy over, placed his front foot on the lad's chest, but then spared him. His love for elephants started on that day. He started studying about elephants and their habits. His regular education suffered upsetting his people at home. He failed in several jobs in which elephants had a role to play. Debts began to mount. It is at this juncture that Gowri and her mother come to stay with him. He gives them shelter. Anirudhan is the antithesis of Krishna Prasad. An owner of seven elephants, he has hardly any love for the animals and uses them only as a means to earn income. How will the relationship between these two men unfold? Will Krishna Prasad succeed in overcoming all the challenges and obstacles in his life, while forging a special connection with the elephants?
