    Another Nostalgic but Tragic Lalettan Classic

    Nostalgic and emotionally touching Lalettan classic. I miss the 1980s and 90s when Lalettan was in his 20's and 30's. I gotta say Lalettan as Raju had a tough life displayed in this movie. First of all, you can deeply empathize with Raju in this movie as he goes through several hardships. I don't like Lalu Alex as Inspector Dinesh too much in this movie as he's harsh towards Raju initially, he doesn't even apologize to him for being mean. Suresh Gopi as Vinod is another problem in the movie as he's even meaner to Raju than Dinesh is. He harasses a girl named Mayna who is Raju's adoptive sister and he ultimately caused her death by chasing her through a forest towards a cliff but apparently she dies by slipping off the cliff. The most shocking fact about this movie is that Raju discoveres his biological family. Vinod changed to a good guy in the end but the ending scene makes me very sad as Raju dies :(
