Paathi is a movie which talks about raising awareness of abortion. Indrans is in the role of a Theyyam face painter and a local medical practitioner Kammaran, who has a deformed face.
Kammaran, is in deep pain internally as he confronts the tears of many children in his soul everyday-the result of his own actions. He finally realizes that children are alter forms of god and he cannot escape from their cries to any part of the world after he has violated their right to exist. Set in the background of Theyyam (ritual art form in north Malabar region of Kerala, India) it is a serious subject about foeticide dealt with utmost intensity.
