This is a Malayalam language film starring the talented actor, doctor, writer Sreenivasan. The film is on the theme of blindness. The topic is sensitively handled by debutant director Premlal.
The protagonist Kochu baby - although blind - is self reliant and content. So much so that he falls in love with another blind woman and they start a family. He loses her to an accident but they have a girl child before that. He brings up the girl only for tragedy to strike when the girl is diagnosed to lose her eyesight in a few days.
How Kochu Baby motivates his daughter to see life in a positive light, withstand it's challenges, and come out smiling is the key message of the film.
Sreenivasan is good, Sharbani looks heavenly, but Jagathy Sreekumar stands out in his supporting role as the Church priest who supports the family in times of need.
Shalu Kurien plays really well as the bubbly daughter who gets to the verge of suicide only to fight back. It's a surprise she didn't get a lot of opportunities to perform after this.
The film won a lot of awards and - albeit slow at times - is a recommended watch.
