  Kerala 's Complete Portal - Nottam (2006) - Movie_Reviews
Fascinated by the art form, Paravoor decided to produce and direct the film after UNESCO recognised Koodiyattam as a masterpiece of intangible cultural heritage.
Paravoor familiarises the audience with the complex, ritualistic art form while essaying the story of a well-known Koodiyattam artist in a remote Kerala village.
Paravoor maintains the pace of the film by making sure that no shot is out of place, whether it is the emotionally charged scene of Unni's untimely death or the way drunken VIP guests walk in to watch Chakkyar's Koodiyattam performance.

But Paravoor must be glad he took the plunge, since the film won a number of Kerala State awards declared last February, including the award for the best lyricist of the year for Ponkunnam Damodaran, the best male playback singer for M. Jayachandran, and the best female playback singer for K. Chithra.
It may nevertheless have difficulty appealing to a wide audience, since not many know about this art of Kerala, though it was recognised in 2001 by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
Paravoor feels it is all a question of presenting something different to audiences than what normally goes in the name of mass entertainment.

But Shashi Paravoor’s Nottam is not in the same league as the classics made by those Malayalam maestros.
The action is centred on Koodiyatam artiste Chapyar who is an institution in his state but when his son Vishnu brings his America-returned friend Aby to arrange a United States tour for Chapyar and his troupe one sees the various cross-currents coming into play.
Another point made by director Shashi Paravoor is that though the locals are inclined to forget the art form, it is foreigners who are keen on learning it.

Sasi Paravoor's `Nottam' narrates a modern tale through the traditional art form of Koodiyattom.
One might be tempted to ask what is new about `Nottam,' the latest film by Sasi Paravoor where he uses a traditional art form to narrate a story on the celluloid.
Says Paravoor, "Three years ago when we started working on the film, with Salim Mankuzhy, the screenplay writer, the early exercise was based on a Kathakali artiste.

Malayalam film ‘Nottam’ by Sasi Paravoor is in a way a story of triumph of art over death.
But there is a lot of difference between what is enacted on stage and what is portrayed in the cinema.” And to do the role she got amble assistance and advice from all who had worked with her in the cinema.
Asked why he chose such a delicate and difficult subject, Sasi Paravoor said he dwelt into it when he felt that there should not be a situation where we often have to learn about our own culture from foreigners.

Secretary in the Union Ministry of Culture K Jayakumar voiced this concern when he said he feared that half-baked artistes would try to perform Koodiyattom for the uninitiated to do more harm than good to its preservation.
Sathi set aside her personal tragedy to complete the film, which is not only a classic, but has helped revive the interest for the salvation of Koodiyattam in all its glory.
Jayakumar, who has penned lyrics for over 100 films, paid the ultimate compliment to Sashi Paravoor’s labour of love when he noted that the "film has fully adhered to the grammar of Koodiyattom".
