What a beautifully made movie with such a bold concept. Kudos to Sridevi for doing this movie during those most difficult times in her personal life and inspite of that gave such a brilliant performance. Kudos to Bharathan sir for having the courage to make a movie that highlights the evils in some of the age old rituals and culture. Kudos to Aravind swamy to do this role that totally goes against the chocolate boy image he had at that time. The music, singing and lyrics are out of this world. Compared to the standards of the 90s movies, the screenplay and direction is astounding. This was a movie that deserved huge appreciation and multiple awards. But people at that time could not accept the bold concept. Proud of Sridevi to always have done strong feminist roles like Lamhe, Laadla and Devaraagam. Her performance in the climax deserved a National award.
