A film along the similar emotional lines of
Akashadoothu, shows Salim Kumar the comedian in a different light. He is the father of three daughters that society takes sleep away from. His youngest daughter runs away from home and lands up in a prostitution den and then the Indian judicial system comes to the "rescue". Brilliant performances from Salim, Prithviraaj, Murali and the three daughters (Samvritha, Mukta and Suja).
I strongly believe that such a film can only come from the state of Kerala. Only the Mallus will willingly go watch a film that was made with the express purpose of making one lose hope and to force a tear or two from your soul. But kudos to Lal Jose for having the courage to tackle this realistic fact based story. It shines a spotlight on the pot holes in Indian society. Pot holes that all those who live in India see on a daily basis and pray they don't fall into.
