This is a Malayalam language film starring Mohanlal, Padmini and Nadia Moidu.
Even before Mohanlal became a superstar with the 1988 film Chitram, he had worked in many notable films through the decade after his debut in 1981. This film which is written and directed by Fazil (he even plays a supporting cast role in it) is one such. It is remembered more for being the breakthrough film of Nadia Moidu and for her versatile performance.
The film is a comedy in the first half and melodramatic in the second half. Reminds a bit of the Hindi film Mili with Jaya Bhaduri - Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. The heroine in this film also is a bubbly and mischievous girl who pesters the youngsters next door to no end. Only to reveal that she is hiding the pain of terminal illness behind this cheer.
It's a complete entertainer with good music also. An excellent watch.
