| 13 | When the conscientious old worker (Thilakan) |
| 14 | is sacked by the factory owner, the worker’s |
| 15 | Marxist son Gaurishankar (Gopi) changes his |
| 16 | tactics for transforming society. Teaming up |
| 17 | with Gayathri (Gauthami), the daughter of a |
| 18 | once-famous Namboodiri writer, and |
| 19 | Sreeraman (Jagathy), a loyal but minor political |
| 20 | fellow traveller, the trio join a ruling political |
| 21 | nexus of unscrupulous factory-owners, |
| 22 | politicians and police chiefs, undermining and |
| 23 | ruining them ‘from within’. The film’s |
| 24 | aggressive advocacy of consumerism, featuring |
| 25 | flashy clothes, cars and guns sometimes |
| 26 | unintentionally substantiates its ‘end-justifiesthe- |
| 27 | means’ message. The camerawork, often |
| 28 | using spectacular noir effects, and Gopi’s |
| 29 | performance, dominate. |
