I had heard a lot about this film through my cousins, in fact, I had watched it when I was a kid, but I could not recall the movie, thus, I decided to watch it again recently.After watching the movie, I understood why, I was not able to recall what the movie was about. It was because, this movie explains the complex nature of emotions which everyone goes through, but, are never comfortable discussing it, even with their closed ones. This movie is definitely not for kids, It's for a mature audience. This is a wonderful romantic movie, which hovers around love care and lust in a subtle way. Only people with patience will enjoy this movie.This movie was released in 1987, and it was definitely far ahead of its time. Forthose who have not seen the movie yet, watch it in a rainy day and feel the mixed emotions that the main character goes through. PS: Amazing performance by all the actors, especially,MOHANLAL.

A film about a man who have his own principles in life regarding all his deeds accidentally breaks one and changes brought by it to his life. Mohanlal plays a man who lives in village and having lot of friends in town.He likes a girl and when he tell her about that he got denied.After that he got involved in a relation with a virgin girl whom he never thought would be like that.He decides to marry that girl following some of his principles in life.By that time girl he really loved comes to him and he have to choose between the two.This man don't want to hide anything from his lover and tells her abt his old relationship.He cant stop himself seeing that old girl and finally he have to choose the right one.

Anyone who is unsure why Padmarajan is haled as one of Malayalam's's best directors ever see this movie. The plot revolves around the relationship that a guy has with a prostitute. Mohanlal plays the role of the common villager in the first scene but he is not what he seems to be as Ashokan finds out after some time. He asks Parvathy to marry him but she declines making fun of him. He meets Sumalatha, whose mother wants to gain some money but making her a pro. Mohanlal feels guilty when he understands he has made her start the journey to destruction, being a prostitute. By this time Parvathy learns more about Mohanlal and falls in love with him but then Mohanlal could not give in because of his guilty feeling. He tells Parvathy about Sumalatha. She tells him never to meet Sumalatha again but Mohanlal replies by saying he doesn't know what will happen if he meets her again. What happens when she does come and meet ? Watch the movie ..

This is should be in fact the best movie by Padmarajan, ever. thats my opinion. It is a bold story of love versus lust..love doesn't win. lust doesn't loose the game also. The game of life is practically won by love, as lust takes a back door exit. Clara the prostitute unlike many others, enters her profession not because of her life problems, but because she wants to. Protagonist, Jayakrishnan played by Mohanlal is drawn quite masterfully. He is bold and daring, and in his town, the most popular. In his village, he is a humble landlord and a farmer, who is conservative. Both faces of the character are safe with Mohan Lal. He again displays his genius as he eases through the role. The directors brilliance is shown in so many shots like the song sequences, and when he proposes Clara.This will be boldest movies ever in Malayalam Cinema. I am sure none of the Directors of this age wouldn't dare to make a movie like this. And to add, this is different from Padmarajans Novel "Udakappola", though the characters are the same in both the movies and the Novel.
