Summary: Tragic love story between a forest officer
(Mammootty) and village belle Tulsi
(Shobhana). Arrested for the murder of his best
friend, a crime he did not commit, the forest
officer goes to jail while freeing his fiancee
from any commitment to their planned
marriage. However, when he is finally released
she is waiting for him. Apparently inspired
partly by Alan Parker’s Midnight Express
(1978), Yoji Yamada’s Shiawase No Kiiroi
Hankuchi [Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness]
(1978) and The Sound of Music (1965) the love
story reinforces much of the fatalism often
associated with Mammootty’s screen persona.
