Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal (English: Small Bouts of Happiness) is a 2000 Malayalam film by Sathyan Anthikkad starring Jayaram and his real-life son Kalidasan Jayaram. It won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam.

Plot

Gopan (Jayaram) is living with his 6 year old son Ashok (Kalidasan Jayaram). His neighbor Celin (Kavya Madhavan) falls in love with him. But he reveals that Ashok's mom is alive and he narrates the story.

Asha Lakshmi (Lakshmi Gopalaswamy) is Ashok's mother. Gopan and Asha were in love before they got married. Asha is from a rich family but Gopan was just a videographer at a local studio. Asha, an admired classical dance artist prior to her marriage, left her career to lead a life with Gopan, becoming a simple housewife. Maya Varma (Bhanupriya), once a famous classical dance artist, learns of Asha's talent and asks her to join her dance troupe. Asha's aspiring career starts to conflict with the peaceful life she had with Gopan and their child; this, fueled by tensions between Gopan and Asha's father, results in Gopan leaving with Ashok.

Whether Gopan marries Celin or whether he reunites with Asha forms the rest of the story.
