Samuel and his two daughters are sent to prison ,while the youngest Lissamma, is again in the society and there arehawks to pry on her.

all Credts to the director, LAL JOSE, who has come up with such a boldfilm, unless typical Malayalam movie, the movie has an innovative wayof story telling, the grief of the father becomes our grief, Lal Josewho has always given the hunch that he will once be the best inindustry is again showing the glimpses of his genius. Scenes from NewsChannel, inter-cuts etc., increases the pace of the movie,.the climaxis unconventional and brave and is an exception compared to anyMalayalam movie. surprisingly no rape scene is shown but the intensityof the tragedy is felt. i remember Amen, ( a German film,which revolvesaround the German atrocities and in Nazi camps, with out even showing asingle torture scene, the movie succeeds in making us feel empty)introduction song of Hari, can be termed unnecessary, but he rest arevery good, and are shot beautifully. their prayer song, and all othersongs in the movie, are too good, and its is the lyrics by VaayalarSharathchandra Verma stands out.

the screen play by Babu Janardhanan is brilliant, so is the camera byManoj Pillai, who really deserved an award. Salim Kumar is exceptionaland can be ranked as one of the best in Malayalam Film industry. in thelast scene where he enters the police jeep, by uttering the words" onewho knows everything is a judge, thats why we call him a judge" isexceptional. all supporting cast plays their part perfectly. and myopinion is that state award and national award for best actor should goto Salim Kumar, his performance is far too good compared to Mohan Lal'sin " Thanmathra". may be the jury was too scared to ignore Mohan Lal,as he is the superstar. and this is un-doubtfully the best movie of theYear, unfortunately it went to "thanmathra", lal Jose also deserved toget the best director award. All the departments in the film.,director, screen play,editing, acting, music, everything scores andmakes this film, unforgettable experience. watch this film, i canguarantee it will put a dagger in to your conscience.
