Plot

Suryakantha tells the story of an ageing couple living out their last days. The couple, both Kathakali artists, live a dreary life and their only comfort is the lovely memories of a glorious past where they had amazed the audiences with outstanding performances. Janaki (Simi Baiju), who was a dancer in her prime, is now bed-ridden and Narayanan, (Rajesh Hebbar) her husband, who was once a famous Kathakali singer, is making a living as a carpenter. His only aim in life is to keep his ailing wife comfortable and happy.
