Set in a very traditional 'valluvanadan' (a region of Kerala known for its affinity to art & culture) scene, this movie is easily one of the best movies in the history of Malayalam movies and quite possibly Indian movies in general. The story line depicts how a feudal lord, given his irreverent and spend thrift nature, is much vulnerable within. The vulnerability is exposed when the lord is told about his adoption as a kid by his ailing mother. What happens after that is depicted to absolute perfection by Mohanlal. Such performances that captures every bit of imagination and attention of the viewers runs through the whole film, by all the supporting cast. Couple that needs to be mentioned are that of Innocent and Oduvil Unnikrishnan.
All in all, if you do not watch this film, you are at loss!
