Plot[edit]
Varathan is a story about a husband and wife, Abin and Priya who return to Kerala when Abin loses his job in Dubai. They then decide to live at Priya's childhood-home in the hills. Since their first day there, Priya is suspicious of the intentions of the contractors who work on her family's land. The villagers and neighbours are often shown ogling at her. After their wedding anniversary, when the couple go to bed, Priya spots someone staring at them from the window. But when she wakes her husband, the shadow disappears. Next day, when Priya is about to take a bath, she spots a man staring at her through the window. She screams and Abin spots a worker in the upper terrain. He shuts the window with duct tape and newspaper. Priya is constantly seen warning Abin that people around there were not the same as in Bangalore or Dubai, so they ought to be more careful. Even an occasion occurs when Priya's inner wears are stolen by Jithin.
One day, Abin has to meet up with a designer regarding their startup and Priya is left alone at home. She promises to go to the convent after Abin goes. Priya locks the door and goes to the convent Library on her scooty. Although, midway she is hit by a Jeep with the malefic neighbours Josy, Johnny and their right hand man Jithin. While she lays unconscious, they leave her in the hospital . When Abin returns home at night, he sees the house locked. He then goes out on a search for her when he gets a call from the caretaker of the estates, Benny, who informs him that Priya was hospitalized. When Aby reaches the hospital, Priya is furious. She fumes out of the hospital saying nothing. Motorola rvn4191 manual. Aby tries to talk to her when they are on their way home, but Priya is agitated. She takes the key, walks into the house and starts packing her bags. When Abin starts to question her, Priya says she was sexually molested she no longer felt safe living with Abin up there in the hills or anywhere else.
Abin walks out and lights a cigarette standing at the front door. A boy and mother, whom Aby and Priya once gave lift to, comes crying to the house. They describe how the boy was caught with the Contractor's daughter Sandra in the bushes that day. They explain how the contractor family is looking to kill him. Abin tells the mother and son to go inside and locks the door. Two men, who work for the contractor comes inquiring about the boy. Abin says he doesn't know where the boy is. Unsatisfied, they return after noticing one of the boy's slippers on the verandah. However, a Jeep and multiple people including the Contractor and all his sons come to Abin's house. They ask for the boy and Abin says he won't let go of the boy. They can find him tomorrow at the Police Station.
None of the people withdraw, upon which Abin walks inside and tries to lock the door. When he is stopped by Johnny, Abin slides out a butcher's knife from the doorside and stabs his left forearm. He locks the door and walks Priya, the mother and the boy to a safe room.
From there, the movie takes an action-mode. Abin sets up the house to electrocute the invaders and successfully does so. Some others who try to invade the house are seen burned with torch flame and LPG gas cylinder, cleverly by Abin. After fighting tooth and nail until the morning, Abin is brutally hit in the head and captured by the contractor and josey. While they aim to shoot him with a gun, Priya walks out with the mother and the son as if in surrender. When they look towards her, Priya shoots two of the perpetrators. Abin, seeing the opportunity, takes charge. The contractor flees away and Abin brutally hits Josey, the last of his wife's abuser. And he informs that police will come & take them.
After chaos, he is seen drinking the coffee with Priya while he narrates Josey how law is still valid and alive in this part of the country. After that, an epilogue 'Two week Later' is seen where Abin locks the gate with a plaque on it saying 'Trespassers will be Shot'. They live happy life after.

Fahadh Faasil comes up with another terrific performance in Varathan which is a beautiful portrayal of a relationship

Varathan review: Entertaining and relevant
Amal Neerad
Fahadh Faasil, Aiswarya Lekshmi
By Moviebuzz
Director Amal Neerad’s Varathan is about a couple who comes to stay at their remote ancestral home in a high range town in Idukki, when things are not really happening for them in Dubai.
Abin (Fahadh Faasil) is an IT professional going through turbulent times in his career. He is living with his wife Priya (Aiswarya Lekshmi) in a Dubai apartment. At a particular point in life, they decide to shift their base to their homeland.
Back in Kerala, Abin feels like an outsider, as the title suggests. He is a really sweet guy, who tries to find positives in every person and the couple is madly in love with each other. Priya supports him as he plans to launch his start up.
They start living in an old house owned by Priya’s late dad, in a high range town. There are a few to help them there, but things don’t really happen the way they would have liked.
The story moves ahead with those tensions and how it affects their relationship as well, with affecting scenes and well written dialogues.
There is a certain pace with which Amal has narrated the story and makes it easy for the viewer to go along with the journey with delicious frames by Littil Swayamp and superb music by Sushin Shyam.
As Abin, who keeps his emotions mostly to himself, Fahadh Faasil comes up with another terrific performance. It is difficult to take our eyes away from him whenever he is on screen, as he gets in to the skin of the character so convincingly. Aiswarya Lekshmi looks beautiful and does a highly impressive performance, as Priya. Also watch out for some top notch performances from Sharafudheen, who has been presented in a totally different avatar from what we have seen until now, Nisthar Sait, Dileesh Pothen and Arjun Asokan.
Varathan narrates a rather simple plot in a thoroughly engaging way. It’s a beautiful portrayal of a relationship and then, deals with some highly pertinent issues that we come across in the society around us. Go for it!
