What happens

Spirit is a 2012 Indian Malayalam-language satirical black comedy film written and directed by Ranjith. The film primarily focuses on the increasing habits of alcoholism in Kerala. It was produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the company Aashirvad Cinemas. The film stars Mohanlal in the lead role, while Kaniha, Shankar Ramakrishnan, Nandu, Kalpana, Madhu, Lena and Thilakan plays supporting roles. The film features music composed by Shahabaz Aman. According to Ranjith, "the movie does not, in any way, advocate or proscribe alcohol. Spirit discusses the subject and examines what happens when a person, however intelligent, falls prey to an addiction, any addiction for that matter." The film released on 14 June 2012 to overwhelming positive reviews from critics. It also performed well at the box office and completed 125 days theatrical run in Kerala. The film won the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues and two Kerala State Film Awards for music. This movie is also noted as the last film of Thilakan released before his death on 24 September 2012 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
