Oduvil Unnikrishnan got some of the best roles in his career from the 20-odd years of a deep and wonderful friendship he had with Sathyan Anthikkad. From Appunni in 1984 till his last movie, Rasathanthram in 2006, the Sathyan-Srinivasan team led us through a gamut of characters brought to life by Oduvil, pulsing with the innate goodness of the simple life and simple living. I have tried to collate all the movies of Sathyan Anthikkad that Oduvil appeared in, but I do not claim this list to be definite .
If there are additions or deletions, please let me know. Most of these are from memory and its possible that errors might have crept in.

Sorry my bad.. I was thinking Vadakkunokkiyanthram…. thanks
Isn’t Thalayanamanthram directed by Sreenivasan?
One scene of Oduvil that I can’t forget is where he runs after a cow calling ‘Paasu, Paasu’…..!
Loved his acting….
Hi Sunny,
Will be writing about that very soon in the first part of the Anthikkad movies..Thanks ..Regards..:)
Thalayanamanthram is directed by Sathyan Anthikkad and scripted by Sreenivasan. vadakkunolkkiyanthram (1989) and Chinthavishtayaaya Shyamala (1998) are Sreenivasan’s outing as a Director, both Award winning ventures. The scene that you described is from Ponmuttayidunna Tharavu, where he plays Pappi, the bullock-trader.
