About the Movie
Alice in Wonderland is a 2005 Malayalam-language fantasy comedy drama directed by Sibi Malayil, featuring Jayaram and Sandhya in the lead roles as a devoted brother and his mentally challenged sister, Alice. The film’s title, though reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s classic, is unrelated to the original story and instead focuses on the emotional dynamics within a close-knit family in Kerala. The music for the film was composed by Vidyasagar, adding depth to its emotional and dramatic moments.
The story revolves around Alby, who is fiercely protective of his sister Alice. Their peaceful life is disrupted when two new people enter their world: Victor, a young magician whose kind nature attracts Alice, and Sophia, a research student from Singapore who forms a friendship with Alby. As Alice becomes drawn to Victor and Alby finds companionship in Sophia, the siblings experience tension and must navigate their changing relationships and the need for personal connections outside their bond.
The film is known for its heartfelt performances, particularly by Jayaram and Sandhya, and its exploration of themes like sibling love, care, and the challenges of accepting change. The supporting cast includes Vineeth as Victor, Laya as Sophia, and notable actors like Jagathy Sreekumar and Sukumari, contributing to the film’s emotional depth and relatability.
