Shyamaprasad is one director who has established a genre of his own, with his very interesting plots which travels through the least explored angles of human mind and the erosion of values that has occurred in the lives of modern man. His Agnisakshi and Akale were films that were celebrated among those who were die hard fans of serious cinema.

Here with his new film Orekadal, he is again into his act of exploring human minds and their emotional strains. This time, Shyamaprasad has the support of the two of the best known and acknowledged artists of the Indian cinema–Mammootty and Meera Jasmine, in the lead.

Mammooty is Dr. S.R. Nathan in the film, an internationally acclaimed economist, molded in the likes of Dr. Amartya Sen. He is more focused on fiscal and economic matters and roams around in careless dresses amidst lazyness and his big intellect. He leads a lonely life and is an alcoholic to boot, who never believes in long lasting relations.

And after a travel around the world, he comes over to a flat to make a living for some time. Their, by the oddest of circumstances he meets a housewife, Deepthi, who instantly develops a fancy for the world renowned economist. Deepthi is living in one of the neighboring flats with his husband Jayan who is a marketing officer of an insurance company. In course of time they learn that they have much common between themselves. Both due to their own circumstances, they have been to same emotional strains, which bring them together for a matured romance that starts budding between them.

Meera Jasmine, for first time starring opposite Mammootty in this film, plays the role of Deepthi. The film speaks about the varied experiences of life and hitherto unseen aspects of romance.
