It is quite
some time since we came across a film that had its theme set fully around a
rural backdrop. Well, here is one...
With a
linear narration punctuated by a set of less known star cast, the film
showcases a story that is simple and straightforward without any unnecessary
commercials compromises. The scenes too reflect simplicity sans any thrills and
frills – a rarity these days of extravagance & sophistication!
Balaji plays
Sampath a good for nothing youth, who does nothing worthwhile while the family is
run by his widowed mother. As though this is not sufficient, he also gets into
trouble too often causing embarrassment to his mother, time and again!
Circumstances
brings him to the proximity of Vasanthi (Nikila Vimal), hailing from the same
village, with whom he falls in love!
But his
current status plays spoilsport and hence her family rejects him outright,
forcing her to force him to stay away from her!
His mother
too tells him to first deserve and then desire!
Humiliated,
Sampath leaves home with a view to earn well and return, even without telling
his mother!
He returns
home after a while but is shocked to learn that the entire village, his mother
included, is under the belief that they both (Sampath and Vasanthi) had eloped,
as Vasanthi too had gone missing since the day he left!
The truth
comes out finally, throwing up a shock not only to the villagers but to the
viewers too!
Appu Kutty
appearing as the friend of the protagonist is impressive. He is good in the
scene where he reasons out the hero’s love with the heroine with a threatening
posture!
Cinematography
and music are both noteworthy.
