Unnikale Oru Kadha Parayam

This is a Malayalam language film starring Mohanlal and Karthika.

Superbly directed by Kamal, the story is about a man who runs an orphanage is diagnosed with a terminal illness. When the plot is simple is where the greatness of the talents in script, direction and performances come to fore (think of movies like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun). And this film is one such.

The story is one on those in the 80s whose tragic endings would touch the audience and make the film a runaway success. The music especially the title track is still memorable.

Mohanlal in one of his earlier appearances as the bearded hero along with his hit pairing with Karthika thrive in their mutual chemistry.

Worth a watch!
