Pathemari

Pathemari was struck with plagiarism allegations by a UAE based NRI, Moidutty, who became the hindrance towards the release of this Malayalam movie directed by Salim Ahamed. Salim denies all the allegations and confirms that it is a unique story. Salim states that every NRI could relate this plot as their own until they watch it. A similar case arose against Salim’s debutant movie Adaminte Makan Abu, which cleared off after it’s release. Salim also comes up with the fact that the accuser's own work is a plagiarized tale. Even though Pathemari faced several rocks ahead, it was criticized as Mammootty’s best work till date. Mammootty, in the role of Narayanan, commits to a job in the Emirates and is forced to leave his family so that they can lead a better life.
