Set in the backdrop of a small town in Kerala, Varnapakittu is a heartwarming drama that revolves around the lives of three friends - Aravindan (Mohanlal), Priyadarshini (Meena), and Nandini (Divyaa Unni). Aravindan is an aspiring businessman who dreams of making it big in life. He is the son of a wealthy businessman but has strained relations with his father due to his carefree attitude towards life. Priyadarshini, on the other hand, is a kind-hearted and generous woman who runs a restaurant. She is deeply in love with Aravindan but is hesitant to express her feelings for him.

Nandini is a tomboyish girl who has a passion for sports. She is the daughter of a poor fisherman and lives with her widowed mother. Despite facing many hardships in life, she has a never-say-die attitude and always puts up a brave face.

The movie explores the dynamics of the trio's friendship and their individual struggles. Aravindan, who is frustrated with his business failures, turns to alcoholism and starts neglecting his personal and professional responsibilities. Priyadarshini tries to help him overcome his addiction but faces resistance from him. Nandini, who is in love with Aravindan, feels helpless and unable to express her feelings.

In the midst of all this, Aravindan's father passes away leaving behind a huge business empire. Aravindan is entrusted with the responsibility of managing the business, but his incompetence and lack of focus result in the company facing a financial crisis. This prompts him to take a drastic step that has far-reaching consequences.

The movie is notable for its portrayal of the complexities of human relationships and how they can be influenced by societal norms and expectations. The performances of the lead actors, especially Mohanlal, are exemplary and have been widely praised. Meena and Divyaa Unni also deliver strong performances.

The music of the film, composed by Vidyasagar, is soulful and adds to the emotional quotient of the movie. The songs "Ethrayo Janmamay", "Olichirikkan Vellam", and "Penne Penne" are instant classics and are still popular among music lovers.

Overall, Varnapakittu is a must-watch for those who appreciate good storytelling and nuanced performances. It is a timeless classic that has stood the test of time and continues to be relevant even today.
