Koodevide

Koodevide scripted and directed by P Padmarajan in 1983. Mammootty acted as Captain Thomas, typical, energetic kanjirappally achayan. Story is about Alice, who lives with her brother, is a teacher at a convent school in Ooty. A neglected and unruly son of a MP, Xavier Puthooran joins the school in Alice's class. Alice manages to turn him into a prize student. Her boy friend Capt. Thomas feels intensely jealous of the attention Alice bestows upon Ravi. He kills the boy apparently by accident but later surrenders to the police, leaving Alice frustrated in all aspects of her life.

It is the biggest hit of 1983. Family’s first choice was this movie at that time. Mammootty’s performance was excellent as a jealous officer and great hearted lover. Mammootty and Suhasini become best pairs after the release of koodevide and continued for years in different movies. Movie ran more than 100 days in major centers.
