## Between Lives: The Intimate Tale of “Ayalum Njanum Thammil” (2012)
Ayalum Njanum Thammil (Between Him and Me) is a 2012 Indian Malayalam-language medical drama directed by Lal Jose and produced by Prem Prakash, with the screenplay crafted by the celebrated writing duo Bobby and Sanjay. The film features Prithviraj Sukumaran in a career-defining performance as Dr. Ravi Tharakan, supported by Prathap Pothen as Dr. Samuel, alongside notable actors Narain (Vivek), Samvrutha Sunil (Sainu), Rima Kallingal (Diya), and Remya Nambeesan (Dr. Supriya).
Set against the backdrop of the medical profession, the narrative chronicles the journey of Ravi Tharakan, a brilliant yet initially irresponsible young doctor. Through his tumultuous mentor-mentee relationship with the principled senior physician Dr. Samuel, Ravi confronts ethical dilemmas, personal failures, and transformative experiences that ultimately reshape his approach to life and medicine. The film explores themes of redemption, the human side of healthcare, and the significance of compassion in medicine.
Ayalum Njanum Thammil received widespread critical acclaim upon its release on 19 October 2012. It was praised for its poignant storytelling, layered performances—particularly by Prithviraj Sukumaran—and evocative soundtrack by Ouseppachan. The movie won four Kerala State Film Awards, including Best Popular Film, Best Director, and Best Actor, and is considered a modern classic of Malayalam cinema.
