Alternate versions
After its theatrical release, one of the first home media editions, which were the VHS cassettes, contained the theatrical version of the film. These editions had a limited release in India and overseas and became popular in the Gulf market. However, almost four scenes, totaling about 10 minutes of the film, were deleted in the subsequent home media releases in India, particularly in the VCD and DVD editions. The TV versions also used the cut versions, which were almost identical to the VCD and DVD editions. The remastered version, which was re-released in theaters in 2024, was also the cut version.

One of the best Indian movies

This has got to be one of the best movies both in malayalam and in India. superb script combined with beautiful direction and acting has made this movie a treat to watch. I have watched this one numerous times..don't even remember the number. As many I was also disappointed to see its remake in other languages. I think they spoiled the beautiful concept and feel of this movie. Sobhana who got a National Award for this movie should have been given a second one after seeing the way other actress performed her role in those remakes.

Its one of the dream movies which doesn't come very often...Perfect from all points of view - story, dialogues, performance, comedy, songs and direction..

Please watch it if you haven't already.
