Summary: A film from a prolific sexploitation director
advocating adherence to old-style family values
and unconditional submission to patriarchy. A
dying father’s three children rush to his bedside
but, as the old man clings on to life, his two
daughters return to their busy urban lives and
his son’s wife leaves for fear of missing out on
her Harvard fellowship. The son, Rajan
(Mammootty), stays and the old man’s niece
Ammukkutty (Seema), a schoolteacher who
helped Rajan in his education but was not
allowed to marry him, is summoned to come
and look after the men. With exemplary
devotion Ammukkutty tends to their needs
while reconciling all members of the family
with each other. The happy ending
demonstrates the transcendent value of filial
piety.
