A Heartfelt Drama With Strong Festival Opening

Hridayapoorvam brings together Mohanlal and director Sathyan Anthikad after several years. Antony Perumbavoor has backed the project under the Aashirvad Cinemas banner. Alongside Mohanlal, the cast features Malavika Mohanan, Sangita Madhavan Nair, and Sangeeth Prathap, with Siddique, Lalu Alex, Janardhanan, Baburaj, Nishan, and Sabitha Anand in key roles.

The story follows Sandeep Balakrishnan, a heart transplant recipient who travels to Pune to meet the family of his late donor, a retired army colonel. Circumstances draw him to remain with the family, gradually intertwining him with their lives. The screenplay is written by Sonu T. P., based on a story by Akhil Sathyan.

Production of the film began in February 2025 and wrapped by May, with principal photography carried out in Pune and Kochi. Technical credits include cinematography by Anu Moothedath, music by Justin Prabhakaran, and editing by K. Rajagopal.

With Onam festivities boosting theater footfall, Hridayapoorvam has benefited from strong initial interest. The coming weekdays will be crucial in determining the film's long-term box office trajectory, particularly with competition from other holiday releases.
