Hridayam is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language coming-of-age romantic drama film written and directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan. It was produced by Visakh Subramaniam through Merryland Cinemas. The film stars Pranav Mohanlal, Kalyani Priyadarshan and Darshana Rajendran. The film's songs and background score was composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab. Theme is that Arun and Darshana are first-year engineering students and they fall in love soon after their college begins. And just as how things work generally in teenage, the road ahead isn't too easy for them. Life offers many twists and turns that they least expect.Arun (Pranav Mohanlal) and Darshana (Darshana Rajendran) fall in love soon after they join college in the first year. They are crazy about each other, but not too wise to avoid the general pitfalls of campus romance. The friendship, love and connections go through various transformative phases, as the narrative progresses. The movie also goes on to show how Arun enters the next phase of life and handles its evolution into various stages. The movie is quite long at 172 mins of running time and could have been trimmed further for a better impact, especially in the second half. As a result, a total of 15 songs were composed in the process. Also, there are stretches where one might feel that the story comes across as a bit too familiar and simplistic, especially for those who have completed campus life in the early 2000s. The trajectory that Arun's life takes, from campus romance and discovery of the ideal career, to that of a family man, is sometimes a bit too convenient.
