Thazhvaram (transl. The valley) is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language epic western film directed by Bharathan and written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair. It stars Mohanlal, Salim Ghouse, Sumalatha, Anju, and Sankaradi. It tells the story of Balan (Mohanlal) who's on the lookout for Raju (Salim Ghouse) for avenging the murder of his wife Raji (Anju). Bharathan also composed the only song featured in the film, and the background score was provided by Johnson. The film is set against the backdrop of a remote lawless village across a valley in Palakkad, symbolising themes and landscapes reminiscent of the American Wild West. The film has achieved a cult status in Kerala since its release. It was both a critical and commercial success with many critics praising Mohanlal's performance. It is considered one of Mohanlal's best performances in his career.
