Kicha is an atheist and is affiliated to the Communist Party in Kerala. He lives with his extremely devout grandmother. Under a single roof, these opposing ideologies are always at loggerheads. Unfortunately for Kicha, all hell breaks loose on an important day when he refuses to pay heed to his grandmother's warnings of ill omens. Does Kicha manage to overcome his misfortune! 
Artham Anartham is ideally an impartial look into two diametrically opposite beliefs. It is upto viewer to decide what makes sense and what is nonsense.
Like any modern Indian middle class family I have experienced conflict between rationality and tradition. The protagonists in my film are representatives of this generation gap. Pitting two characters with diametrically opposing ideologies itself paves way to interesting situations. I did not want to take up sides though, and tried to present the story in a very Shakespearean structure, wherein the audience get to choose which side makes sense and which seems nonsense. At least this is what I set out to achieve.
