Rithu tells a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town.
Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. And Sunny, was more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams Sarat leaves for northern California to live and work. The other two take up a job at Bangalore.
Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.
Their lives now transformed with the times, come to unexpected collisions of interests and Sarat finds himself caught between his idea of their past and the strangeness of the changed persona of his bosom friends. In the final loss of innocence, Sarat is betrayed by both friends in different ways.

My sincere thanks to Shayamaprasad. Rithu is a wonderful film; it’s a new voice to Malayalam cinema. We do need films like this for the future of the Malayalam film industry. I appreciate your willingness to give an opportunity to new actors.

A good movie indeed. Well balanced and convincingly told without any intellectual pretensions ,I would even say that this is Syamaprasad’s best movie so far.Its a breath of fresh air for those of us who are disappointed by the trash that the so called big/grt directors of malayalam film industry turn out with tall claims and propaganda.Its a relief to watch new faces with talent.In spite of all its flaws, superb frames ,haunting music and a touching story which ends with a fitting epilogue make this movie stand apart. Verdict- ***/5
