What happens

Ithihasa is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language fantasy comedy film directed by Binu Sadanandan and written by Aneesh Lee Ashok and Anil Narayanan. The film tells the story of body swapping between a conservative young software professional Janaki (Anusree) and an easy going young pickpocketer, Alvy (Shine Tom Chacko). The music was composed by Deepak Dev. The film received positive reviews from critics and audiences. It turned out to be a sleeper hit and was especially praised for the humour, music and screenplay. It is inspired from the 2002 Hollywood film The Hot Chick. A spiritual successor to the film titled Mask starring Shine Tom Chacko and Chemban Vinod Jose was released in 2019.
