+Chandran’s follow-up to the hit Ponthan
+Mada (1993) addresses a small community in
+rural Kerala when the first Communist
+government was dismissed in 1959 by Nehru’s
+Central government after two years in power.
+Told through the eyes of a small boy, Jayan
+(Nitin), the film contrasts his relationship with
+the larger-than-life Communist supporter Bhasi
+(Mammootty) to that with his tyrannical,
+Congress-supporting father (Venu). A second
+father-figure is provided by the mad scientist
+Thakaran (Gopi) who promises the end of the
+world. The dismissal of the government and
+Bhasi’s arrest coincides with Thakaran’s death,
+as well as with Jayan’s own symbolic revenge
+against his father when he throws a bowl of
+curry in the patriarch’s face.
