| 13 | Malayalam megastar Mohanlal plays Samuel |
| 14 | Alexander, a poor but glamourized garage |
| 15 | owner who falls for the rich and beautiful |
| 16 | Sreedevi Menon (Kanchana). Having annoyed |
| 17 | her with his attentions, he manages to make |
| 18 | her realise the difference between ‘gentlemen’ |
| 19 | like him and ‘rogues’. They decide to live |
| 20 | together, an act that forms the major moral |
| 21 | pivot of the film, and she delivers their child |
| 22 | even as he goes to jail. Eventually, in spite of |
| 23 | her parents’ opposition, the two nevertheless |
| 24 | get married. The title refers to the phrase |
| 25 | ‘Gandharva Vivaham’, which roughly means |
| 26 | ‘marriage blessed by the angels’, an interesting |
| 27 | Hindu ratification of cohabitation or ‘unofficial’ |
| 28 | marriage. |
