Chayamukhi uses an amalgam of elements of classical and ethnic forms in India. Mohanlal and Mukesh play the roles of Bhima and Keechaka respectively. The play also features a young and talented set of actors.

The story of Chayamukhi revolves around a mirror. Once a person sets his/her eyes on the mirror, it exhibits the image of his/her beloved one. The play won the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Academy Award for the Best Script in 2003.
