    Perhaps The First Ever Psychological Movie In Malayalam

    Rajan (Thikkurishi Sukumaran Nair) marries a sex worker(Omallur Chellamma). He intend give her a life and make free her family from insult. The attempts at social reform bring them in direct conflict with vested interests keen to preserve the old order.

    Thikkurishi Sukumaran Nair, acting in only his first movie, is visibly at sea. His inexperience is in contrast with Omallur Chellamma, who's assured as ever. She looks every bit the star of that era. The surprise package however, is Vaikom P. M Mani as the villainous Madhu. Despite the stagy dialogue delivery, he's supremely convincing as the scheming, vicious assistant to the reactionary zamindar.

    What is remarkable is the manner in which the patriotism undertones have been concealed. The dialogue and lyrics writer Thikkurishi Sukumaran Nair did an amazing job of slipping in perfectly innocuous sounding words carrying patriotic undertones beneath the surface. Frankly, I gave two extra marks just for Thikkurishi's brilliant play with words.

    The acting is typically stagy and the dialogue delivery stilted and unnatural- as is the case with early talkies pretty much anywhere in the world. The dialogue delivery frequently grates, distracting from the other merits of the movie. Sthree is best seen as a piece of cinematic history. It was perhaps the first ever psychological movie in the history of Malayalam cinema.
