Touted as the first global film from Kerala, recently released 'Urumi' is an attempt to read history from the side of the vanquished, its director Santosh Sivan said.

"Generally, history is written from the perspective of the conqueror. But, 'Urumi' is an attempt to read history from the side of the defeated," Sivan told reporters here.

The film, starring Prithviraj and Genelia D'souza, is rather a representation of historical facts on a fictional platform than an accurate narration of history, the ace director and cinematographer said.

The multi-crore movie, which hit theatres on Thursday, is based on the arrival of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama in Kozhikode in the 15th century.

Tamil actor-cum choreographer Prabhu Deva, Bollywood actresses Tabu and Vidhya Balan, Malayalam actors Nithya Menon and Jagathy Sreekumar give more grace to the movie, Sivan said.
