+Along with Kilukkam, the same year,
+Mohanlal established his collaborations with
+director Priyadarshan as among the most
+infallible in the commercial Malayalam cinema.
+When Kalyani’s (Ranjini) rich father returns
+from abroad on a brief holiday to settle the
+inheritance of his property, Kalyani’s uncle
+(Venu) hires a thief and con man, Vishnu
+(Mohanlal), to masquerade as her husband.
+The reason for this impersonation is to keep
+the father’s property from falling into the hands
+of a bunch of baddies (Srinivasan, Raju) who
+run the estate. Most of the film exploits the
+several comic possibilities of a spirited woman
+and a crazy hero being forced to pretend to be
+married. The story takes a tragic turn when
+Mohanlal is revealed as a murderer facing a
+death sentence, and he tells his tale in
+flashback. He had killed his deaf-mute
+girlfriend Revathi, when he mistook her
+Naxalite brother as being her lover. His child
+by Revathi was put into an orphanage when he
+was arrested. At the end, Vishnu and Kalyani,
+having fallen in love, are parted by the law, as
+he goes off to his death sentence while she is
+saddled with the responsibility of raising his
+orphaned child. The film adheres to the
+sometimes inexplicable tendency, for viewers
+unfamiliar with its generic codes, of 80s Kerala
+melodrama to end in tragedy.
