Swanthamevide Bandhamevide

Just your run of the mill family drama or melodrama. If I were watching this in the 80s or 90s I might have related to this movie but in this century it seems outdated. If the next scene can be easily predicted, the interest in the movie keeps dropping. As for Mohanlal, it was still early days for him so the acting genius wasn't developed as yet. As for the cast except for the patriach, the rest were there just for the ambiance, so there were no memorable contributions. Most movies from 80s get a high 7+ ratings, but this movie is in the low 6 that should give you a clue. So, If you missed watching this movie, you wouldn't be missing much.
