This is a landmark movies and in mohanlal’s career. The tragic drama will leave you with moist eyes everytime you see it. The climactic fight sequence and mohanlal’s emotional breakdown when confronted by his father Thilakan. It gives me goosebumps and a lump in my throat everytime.
The fight ensues between keerikkadan jose and sethu madhavan (mohanlal)and both are arrested by the police. Since he managed to defeated the reigning rowdy, sethumadhavan is typecast a rowdy the people of the town. After recovering, keerikkadan jose and sethumadhavan and his family. With the police failing to protect him, sethu is forced to fight for his life and ends up killing keerikkadan. Sethu sentenced to prison for murdering jose. Head constable Achuthan Nair (thilakan, his father ) reads the police verification report which states sethu as a “notorious criminal”.
The film as a whole is a painfully realistic depiction of sethu’s life and the way his youthful dreams were replaced by the horror of being offered an undesirable crown.
