Aakasha Gopuram is a Malayalam drama film, released on August 15, 2008. The movie stars Mohanlal, Sreenivasan, and Manoj K. Jayan in the lead roles. Directed by KP Kumaran and produced by G. Suresh Kumar under the banner of Revathy Kalamandir, Aakasha Gopuram is an emotional roller coaster ride about relationships, love, and misunderstandings.

The story revolves around a successful architect, Govindankutty (Mohanlal) who lives a peaceful, married life with his wife Vidya (Bharathi Vishnuvardhan) and daughter in Bangalore. However, things take a dramatic turn when he decides to travel to his hometown in Kerala to take care of his father, who is in critical condition. Govindankutty's father is a famous astrologer, but his predictions are always vague, and he never provides any concrete solutions to the problems he is asked to solve. Govindankutty, on the other hand, is logical and believes in science. This creates a rift between them, and Govindankutty's father disapproves of his son's way of life.

The movie portrays the beautiful bond between a father and a son, which is tested by misunderstandings and conflicting ideologies. Govindankutty's return to his hometown brings back old memories and reveals the past that has been buried deep within. He discovers that his father's predictions were not always vague, and he finds out the truth behind his mother's death.

As Govindankutty spends more time in his hometown, he reconnects with his childhood friend Karthikeyan (Sreenivasan), who is a liquor addict and is struggling to make ends meet. Govindankutty tries to help Karthikeyan out of his addiction and loans him money to repay his debts. However, their friendship hits a rough patch when Karthikeyan's brother, Mohan (Manoj K. Jayan), starts creating problems for both of them.

The movie's narrative is brilliant, and the performances of Mohanlal, Sreenivasan, and Manoj K. Jayan are outstanding. The movie's dialogues are thought-provoking, and the impactful background score adds to its charm.

The movie's technical aspects, including cinematography, editing, and sound design, are superb. The beautiful visuals of Kerala, especially during the monsoon season, are a treat to watch. The movie's music, composed by M. Jayachandran, is soulful and helps in creating the desired emotional impact. The songs, especially "Puzhayorathil," are melodious, and the lyrics are well-written.
