Plot
Thariode, tells the story of gold mining in Thariyode, one of the most ancient cities of the Malabar region, a long, narrow coastline on the southwestern shore line of the mainland Indian subcontinent. The film also charts the history of gold mining in other areas of Malabar (Thalappuzha, Devala, Nilagiri, Nilambur and Chaliyar){{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8593946/locations?ref_=tt_dt_dt|title=Filming Locations of Thariode|website=IMDb|access-date=4 September 2019}} during the 19th century.
