Bollywood films make me want to gouge out my eyes with a butter knife, but unfortunately I would still be able to hear the atrocious dialogue. This film follows in the tradition of quantity over quality.

Great performance of Mohanlal and the rwo children. Good songs, comedy, action all combined. So sad to see it rated low.

This is one of those movies whose story and plot line overshadows all the other shortcomings. A very well thought out script supported by some strong characterisation.

Mohanlal and Jagathy shine, while the rest of the cast contribute very well to create two different alternating atmospheres. One with the police slowly uncovering the identity of a notorious criminal, and the other being the day-to-day life at a school.

I would say this movie aged well, and watching again clearly shows us how much attention to detail was being put into the key aspects of the film. That is something rare for its time period.

I'm sad to see it rated this low, its surely in my top 30 of pre-2000 malayalam movies.
