things to look out in this movie

  • A good storyline with an exceptionally good script. Nothing in the movie is irrelevant to the story i.e. there is no masala added to disgust honest movie watchers.


  • Exceptionally good direction. Sibi malayil can be rated one of the most talented directors in the present day Indian film industry.


  • The theme song, which gave m.g.sreekumar that years national award for the best singer.The song was meant to be the lament of a person whose life is wrecked completely for no fault of his, and m.g. has done it nicely that you can feel the protagonist crying through the song. - Last, but not the least(i would say the icing on the cake), the superb cast of the film. Mohanlal and Thilakan have acted out their best that we can feel their emotional turmoils. Both of them share a splendid on screen chemistry as father and son. This film is one proof to show that Mohanlal and Thilakan can be rated one of the best actors in India as well as in the world.


  • The climax scene where the son(Mohanlal) having stabbed and killed the rowdy, is unrelenting to cooperate with the police, and the father(Thilakan), himself a police constable scolding and begging the son to cooperate and surrender himself.


Mohanlal displays a mixture of emotions- anger, despair, sadness... It is difficult to pinpoint which emotion it is.

one of the best movies i have ever watched. recommended for serious viewing.
