+When Andal’s (Manorama) only son Ravi (Ravi)
+grows up, she dominates every aspect of his
+life fearing that he might fall for a modern
+woman who, in turn, might threaten Andal’s
+control over her domestic space. She makes
+her son marry Uma Maheshwari (Urvashi), a
+docile maid-servant. When Uma demonstrates
+some tendencies towards independence, Andal
+forces her daughter-in-law to commit suicide.
+Andal is arrested, but acquitted in court even
+though her own son believes her guilty.
+Although initially received with some protest,
+the film went on to become a major hit mainly
+with urban middle class audiences responding
+e.g. to Uma’s dialogues to her mother-in-law
+like ‘Since you feed and dress and bathe your
+son, why do you give me the mangalsutra, you
+could have worn it yourself’ (i.e. you could
+have married your son).
