നാഗവല്ലിയുടെ കൊട്ടാരത്തിൽ ചെന്നപ്പോൾ... 😱😵 | Manichithrathazhu | Movie Location|

Once we visited the Hill Palace, Ernakulam, the largest archaeological museum in Kerala and a former royal residence of the Cochin Maharaja. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscapes, the palace is a calm and peaceful spot, perfect for history lovers and those who enjoy nature’s charm.

Hill Palace is not only rich in heritage but also a favorite shooting location for many famous Malayalam movies. Iconic films like Manichitrathazhu and several others were filmed here, making the palace even more special for Malayali cinema lovers. Walking through its corridors feels like stepping back in time, with beautiful architecture, antiques, and a royal atmosphere.

The entire ambiance of Hill Palace offers a mix of history, culture, and tranquility — making it a must-visit destination in Kochi.

Manichitrathazhu is one of the most iconic Malayalam movies ever made. Released in 1993, this psychological thriller directed by Fazil became a cult classic in Indian cinema. The film starred Mohanlal as Dr. Sunny, Shobana as Ganga/Nagavalli, and Suresh Gopi as Nakulan.

The story revolves around an old ancestral mansion (Madampalli), where mysterious and supernatural events unfold, blending science, psychology, and tradition. Shobana’s performance as Ganga possessed by Nagavalli won her the National Award for Best Actress, and the film remains a masterpiece in Malayalam cinema.

It was shot in several beautiful locations, with Hill Palace, Ernakulam and Thekkady being the most popular. Over time, Manichitrathazhu inspired remakes in many Indian languages (Apthamitra in Kannada, Chandramukhi in Tamil, Bhool Bhulaiyaa in Hindi), proving its timeless appeal.

Even today, the film is loved for its suspense, music, and the unforgettable character of Nagavalli.
