Shyamaprasad's third directorial venture, 'Ore Kadal' is based on Bengali writer Sunil Gangopadhya’s classic 'Heerak Deepti', a love story set in a very intense and difficult situation. Of his previous films- 'Agnisakshi' (1998) deals with the portrayal of the period and the life of the Namboothiris of Kerala and 'Akale' (2004) depicts an Anglo-Indian family whose members keep failing to understand or communicate with one another. Both films received accolades.

The story of Ore Kadal revolves around the deep relationship between Nathan (Mammootty) and Deepti (Meera Jasmine). Dr Nathan is a very well known economist who travels all around the world but leads a very lonely and isolated life. One day he meets Deepti, a middle class housewife who lives in the same apartment complex. They get into a relationship and also a lot of problems, which changes their outlook on life. She is a married woman with a child but he doesn't believe in marriage or love. What happens to this man and woman is the story.

Ramya Krishnan also plays a lead role as Bela, a friend and soul mate of Dr Nathan. She has traveled through difficult paths, and has become wiser and cynical because of that. She becomes a kind of sounding board to Dr Nathan. The two women he is involved with -- Deepti and Bela -- are contrasting characters.

Meera Jasmine, is starring opposite Mammootty for the first time in this film. Both of them are extremely proficient and national award winners. Narain and Ramya Krishnan also play important roles in this movie.

All the five songs in the movie are beautifully composed by Ouseppachan in the raga Subha Panthuvarali to the lyrics of Girish Puthenchery. The film produced by Vindhyan in the banner of Rasika Entertainments is distributed by Emil And Eric Entertainments. The film shot mostly at Chennai is ready for release during Onam.
