+Controversial film because of its alleged
+exploitation of the well-publicised suicide of
+the Tamil actress Shobha. When a poor Kerala
+family moves to Madras, their young daughter
+Shanthamma becomes the teenage film star
+Lekha (Nalini). However, the young girl hangs
+herself. The film recounts the events leading up
+to her decision, including a stint as a prostitute
+and the merciless exploitation she suffers from
+her alcoholic father (Varghese) and her pushy
+mother (Subha) as well as from her
+professional colleagues, esp. from her lover,
+the unhappily married Suresh (Gopi), a director
+of art-house films. The film depended heavily
+on the real-life events and characters to whom
+it alluded, while continuing the director’s
+fascination with the thriller format (Yavanika,
+1982).
