This film should be treated as landmark movie in Malayalam , because of 2 reasons. 1. The main character is not hero but anti hero. Viewers knows this , but not other character. This is a different kind of crime thriller, sure this will be a first of this kind in Malayalam 2. Mohanlal as an Actor has shown his acting skills which later we have seen in his moviesSo I suggest all readers to watch this movie. Very well scripted and directed well. Will be a nice watch.

Dear I.V.Shashi, I watched this film when I was a kid at the Kavitha theater in Ernakulam. I must have been four years old. But the scene where Lalettan jumps off a mountain so that he would not be conquered and captured will forever be etched in my memory. The film is mostly interesting due to Lalettan's ignoble savage role. He rarely played characters like the anti-hero womanizer in this film. I also liked the film's setting in a tea estate. Nedumudi and Rehman as a couple of duffers are perfect foils for Lalettan's cunning character. Swapna as a nurse was a sultry presence. Thanks to you for directing a commercial film for adults based on M.T's story. The box office success of this violent and racy film indicates the maturity of Malayali audiences in the 1980s. Best Regards, Pimpin. (6/10)

The film plots few incidents that took place around a tea estate and the way it affected the life of three young men,Jayarajan(mohanlal), Chandran(Rahman) and Johny(Nedumudi Venu).The group of three young men,estate employees led by Jayarajan created a master plan to deceive their manager and take over a huge money from company.As this was spotted by the manager,jayarajan,who persuaded the other two to join him,killed the manager. Chandran and Johny,two family men who were in desperate need for money having fallen for the promises offered by jayrajan,were later haunted by memories of the crime they did.However jayarajan,kept on continuing his thirst for money and women.Beholding his verbal capability,Jayrajan kept on dumping his lovers,Padma a nurse ,Manager's wife and finally ended in estate CEO'(Ummer) daughter.To keep his way forward clean and unobstructed jayarajan killed his colleague Johny and Padma.Chandran who was afraid of Jayrajan's deeds became even more worried when he knew that jayarajan was going to marry his CEO's daughter,who happened to be his college mate.Jayarajan's cunningness was evidently and powerfully exposed to audience by script writer , M.T vasudevan nair and mohanlal gave life to Jayarajan at his best.The film concludes Jayarajan as an unbeatable hero,who passed through various miseries in his childhood and even at the point where his crimes were exposed,mentioned in his own words as ,"I played the game beautifully,I also liked the way I played,even that is more important.And finally you guys are going to win,But I don't like to fail...Bang !"
