+As in the romantic socialist realism of
+Meenamasathile Sooryan (1985), this filmextols the virtues 
+of radical political activists but, contrary to Rajendran’s film, Hariharan
+exploits the unpleasant aspects of
+revolutionary violence. The central figure is
+Indira (Geetha), imprisoned for murder and on
+hunger strike. Allowed to visit her dying
+mother, a former activist in the Independence
+struggle, on a two-week pass, she encounters
+unmitigated hostility from some members of
+her family although her old mother welcomes
+her warmly. Persecuted by the villagers as well
+as by the police, Indira eventually turns to a
+journalist, Rashid (Mohanlal), to unburden
+herself, recounting the circumstances of her
+crime. In the politically turbulent 60s in Kerala,
+she had been a welfare officer who had led a
+group which hacked to death a particularly
+vicious landowner. Later, when she is released,
+she shoots the husband of her best friend for
+participating in a brutal gang rape of a servant
+girl. Then she calmly awaits being imprisoned
+again. The film was a commercial hit.
