+Nandagopal (Mohanlal) is a respected dance
+teacher at the Kerala Kala Mandiram (alluding
+to the famed Kalamandalam repertory which
+performs Kerala’s temple arts). However, his
+wife (Parvathi) commits suicide, causing the
+hero to turn into an alcoholic and compulsive
+rule-breaker. He is suspected of having killed
+his wife and is suspended from his job for
+drunken misbehaviour. The new secretary of
+the institute (Venu) wants him to be sacked,
+but his former reputation gives him a reprieve.
+He trains the talented student Malavika
+(Monisha) to perform in his ambitious
+composition of the Sita Kalyanam, but her
+jealous young lover (Vineeth) poisons him. The
+predictable ending sees Nandagopal reuniting
+with his wife in death. The film continues the
+well-known Lohitadas-Malayil team’s neotraditional
+musicals for Mohanlal’s production
+outfit, but lacks the taut storylines of its
+predecessors (His Highness Abdullah, 1990;
+Bharatham, 1991). It also continues
+Mohanlal’s endeavours to display the full range
+of his talents as he performs Bharata Natyam
+dance.
