Kadathanadan Ambadi is a 1990 Malayalam movie which starred three prominent actors of the time, Mohanlal, Prem Nazir, and Cochin Hanifa. The movie is set in a small village in Kerala, where the story of a courageous young man named Ambady (Mohanlal) unfolds. Ambady is the son of a wealthy landlord who owns vast stretches of land in the village. However, he is not interested in leading a life of luxury and instead decides to become a warrior.

The movie begins when Ambady is a child, witnessing the cruelty of a group of villainous men who are trying to take over his father's land. Being brave and valiant from a young age, he decides to teach them a lesson by himself. This sets the tone for the entire movie, as Ambady starts to take on any injustice that he sees in the village.

The turning point comes when a menacing gangster named Bastian (Prem Nazir) arrives in the village to take over the land. Bastian is a ruthless man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. However, Ambady refuses to back down and decides to take on the gangster himself. Along with his loyal friend and aide, played by Cochin Hanifa, he prepares to take on the formidable opponent.

The movie then becomes a tale of two distinct halves. In the first half, Ambady trains to become a skilled warrior, learning the art of Kalaripayattu - a martial art form native to Kerala. During this time, he also falls in love with a woman named Ammu, played by Charmila, who is the niece of the village leader. However, their love faces various challenges, including the disapproval of Ammu's uncle.

In the second half, the action picks up as Ambady faces off against Bastian and his gang. The battle scenes are masterfully choreographed, and Mohanlal's performance as a warrior is commendable. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, Ambady and his team continue to fight, leading to a spectacular final showdown.

Throughout the movie, there are many underlying themes that are explored, including loyalty, courage, and the importance of standing up against injustice. The movie also has several memorable songs that are still popular among Malayalam audiences today.

Overall, Kadathanadan Ambadi is a classic Malayalam movie that is considered one of the best films of Mohanlal's career. It showcases his versatility as an actor, and the story is gripping and entertaining from start to finish. Whether you are a fan of action, romance, or drama, this movie has something for everyone.
