Film actress Adoor Bhavani dies
October 25th, 2009 - 3:59 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Adoor (Kerala), Oct 25 (IANS) Malayalam actress Adoor Bhavani, known for her performance in National Award winning film “Chemmeen”, died Sunday afternoon. She was 85.
She died at her home here in Pathanamthitta district and her only son Rajiv was at her side when she breathed her last. She stopped acting after she fell ill six years ago.
In her career spanning more than five decades, she had acted in more than 500 films.

In 1969, she got the state award for the second best actress for her performance in “Kallichellama”. Some of her memorable films include “Mudiyanaya Puthran” and “Thulabharam”. She was last seen in “Oru CBI Diary Kurripu”.
Her last rites will be held here Monday with state honours.
