Raapakal is one of those touching movies to have come out in Malayalam in the recent times. It cannot be hailed as a classic by any means. But quite a few touching moments make this movie a must-watch for any drama movie buff.

Mammootty has come up with one of his natural best performances ever. Sarada's return to Malayalam cinema after a short break is also perfect. Although the movie lags a bit at times, in the end you wont feel tired as the climax includes a short suspense and some touching moments to keep you busy.

On the downside Mammootty looks a bit too old for the character. He should have played the character at least 10 years back. Or they should have chosen an actress much older than Sarada. They look more like brother and sister than son and mother.

All in all, highly recommended for soulful cinema lovers.

another touching classic mammooty film....all actors give good performances especially mammooty.Nothing great about this movie but surely worth seeing and you will not be disappointed.Too bad youngsters are least interested in such classic dramas.Nayantara has given a good performance and wish she would stick to more story oriented roles like this than glamorous ones.Hope kamal takes on a mohanlal film.That movie will be even better than this one.Songs were surprisingly good.Mammooty looked more older for his role but he proves that he is still in the minds of youth like us. The scenery remindeds us of our childhood environment in India.It is easy to get absorbed into this kind of movie.The elephant could have been given extra fruits for its acting too.

Rappakal is a drama film directed by Kamal. The protagonist of this movie is Krishnan, played by Mammootty. The performance of Mammootty as Krishnan is compelling and captivating. He is the driving force behind the film, carrying it with his brilliant acting skills.

The film explores the relationship between an elderly woman and her servant, who reside in a grand palace. All of the old woman's relatives are situated outside, accompanied by their respective belongings. The servant regards the old woman as a mother figure and oversees all activities within the palace. The narrative then follows the return of the old woman's relatives to the palace for a reunion. The palace becomes a hub of joy and celebration as the reunited family arrives. However, their intentions for the reunion are not entirely aligned. They seek to sell the palace and its surrounding lands, with the intention of acquiring personal shares. They persuade the old woman to sell, which leads to the estrangement of the old woman and the servant. The film's climax is notably emotional.

In the Film featuring a multitude of emotionally charged scenes. Mammootty's performance is particularly noteworthy for its exceptional coherence, immersing the audience in the narrative. The casting is also commendable, with Salim Kumar's performance eliciting moments of laughter.

Furthermore, the three musical numbers are executed with great skill and are highly commendable.
