Odayil Ninnu (transl. From the Gutter) is a 1965 Indian Malayalam-language drama film directed by K. S. Sethumadhavan and written by P. Kesavadev, based on his novel of the same name.[1] The film deals with the life and struggles of a proud and hardworking rickshaw puller, Pappu.[2] It stars Sathyan, Prem Nazir, K. R. Vijaya, and Kaviyoor Ponnamma. Master Dasarath plays the young Pappu. Suresh Gopi made his acting debut with the film, who was then six years old. He appeared as the feudal lord's timid son, who also becomes the root cause for Pappu running away from home.
The film was a commercial success and also received critical acclaim for its raw energy and Sathyan's performance in the lead role.[3] It received a certificate of merit at the National Film Awards. It was remade in Tamil as Babu (1971), in Telugu as Marapurani Manishi (1973), and in Hindi as Babu (1985).[4]
