Fairly good movie. Good solid flow although some scenes should have been more lengthy. The problem however is the story doesn't create any suspence at all as the plot of crime is revealed as it's done. So it's no thriller in anyway. But on the other hand Koch's acting is very much appreciable.
I went thro' the story then watched the movie. it is not worst movie but it could have done in better way. i saw a bus moving and it was not in 1978. good story and little bit a thriller type movie.
This movie is nothing but a carelessly attached chain of frames. The release of movie been an excitement with the name of director, the cast and of course the nature of the story the movies has based on but still with all these assets the movies has failed in the worst possible way as a cinematic work. My eventual thought was that directorship of the movie finally seems to covering under the pretty face of Bollywood star Jacqueline and expecting such a flop to be yet another potboiler.
Sometime back I have read a paper article about the incident which this movie is based on, and I still find that article is more interesting than this movie. absolutely there wasn't any single cinematic indication about the strength of the unlawful intimate bond between the the priest and the young lady Daphne. Thus it is unavoidable audience to ask what actually leads Daphne to fight that hard to help killing her husband (whom seems well matching to her) in favor of her priest lover. Even the character selection and acting is way under professional scale, almost all the cast fail in bringing up the expected subtlety of performance, in order to bring the expected emotional spectrum of a movie in this dark thrilling range . The homicide and the planing of it is way too dumb, obvious to predict. The detection of the case is has no any single thrilling effort, zero adrenaline rush.I am not sure if the true story also happened the same dumb way but even if it is the case director must be able to tackle up such failing situation in more creative maneuvers. With all this It is very well clearly to see that script writer, the director haven't done any substantial study about the plot prior creating this. There was a plethora of chances where this movie can make great but seems creators has dropped all of em intentionally and has rushed to create narration instead of a movie.
Mr Rathnam, you could have done millions time better.

There was a very populer story of 60s in sri lanka. But this film did not prove murder correctly. Court do not make decision from poor evidence.but here there is no any strong evidance.
Great independent movie of true murders done by a clergy in early 70., the movie should really be release worldwide ignore the bias of some critics, this is very good acting compared to many trashy hollywood movies out there, the entire movie is in English and can be understood without subtitles, locations are great, The movie really picks up in the secound half,

Failed attempt at a potentially riveting story. Amateurishly directed and acted, badly casted and wasted effort all together. Sad.
If you have no place to kiss your girlfriend or do something other than actually watching the movie , this is the movie you wanna go . Just a one word , neddakin !
