Haram is a socially relevant drama which released during the time when the people started to prefer feel good films over serious movies. And the feel good movie trend doesn't passed yet in the Malayalam industry.
Haram deals with the emotions of the impatiently living modern youth who're trying to conclude their lives very fast. This movie depicts the life of a corporate employee, who's possessed with his ideologies. Balu and Isha works together. Isha's broken relationship with a Kannadiga and a suicide attempt lead to a love affair between her and Balu. They ended up in marriage after so many years of relationship.
Balu really helped Isha to forget her bitter past and eventually she became a bold lady instead of an emotionally weak girl. But Isha's attitude towards Balu's political ideologies led their marriage into a bitter one. And the movie discussed about the emotions of Balu as well as Isha when they are separated.
The climax is evolving from the subplot of Ameena. Other than that, the subplot doesn't really helped the movie. Director Vinod Sukumaran used a light brown color theme in order to represent the human bondage seriously.
Vinod Sukumaran observed so many minute elements from the society and used it in his movie. There was a Syamaprasad touch in the visual treatment as the director Vinod Sukumaran was the editor of so many Syamaprasad movies. We can expect a number of good movies from this director.
End Note: You'll need some patience and a serious approach towards movies, in order to enjoy this movie.
