Anoop Menon Malavika Menon Mukesh Meera Vasudev
***916 *** is a 2012 Indian Malayalam-language drama film written and directed by M. Mohanan, starring Mukesh, Anoop Menon, Asif Ali, Malavika Menon and Meera Vasudev. The film is about maintaining the sanctity of familial relationships.
Plot
916 focuses mainly on the relationship between a single father, Dr. Harikrishnan, and his 12th grade daughter Meera. It narrates the events of two closely knit families losing their balance; Harikrishnan's, and Dr. Ramesh's, his wife and their two children. While Dr. Harikrishnan is an altruist who considers his profession a means to serve society, Dr. Ramesh thinks otherwise.
