+A film from a prolific sexploitation director
+advocating adherence to old-style family values
+and unconditional submission to patriarchy. A
+dying father’s three children rush to his bedside
+but, as the old man clings on to life, his two
+daughters return to their busy urban lives and
+his son’s wife leaves for fear of missing out on
+her Harvard fellowship. The son, Rajan
+(Mammootty), stays and the old man’s niece
+Ammukkutty (Seema), a schoolteacher who
+helped Rajan in his education but was not
+allowed to marry him, is summoned to come
+and look after the men. With exemplary
+devotion Ammukkutty tends to their needs
+while reconciling all members of the family
+with each other. The happy ending
+demonstrates the transcendent value of filial
+piety.
