| 14 | Echoing aspects of Gopalakrishnan’s |
| 15 | Elippathayam (1981), Vasudevan Nair’s script |
| 16 | tells of the decline of a family of former Nair |
| 17 | rent collectors as various members give way to |
| 18 | greed and other weaknesses. The dramatic |
| 19 | trigger is provided by a government |
| 20 | compensation payment for confiscated forest |
| 21 | lands, and the rapacious members of the family |
| 22 | go to extraordinary lengths to appropriate as |
| 23 | much compensation money as they can get by |
| 24 | means both fair and foul. The story is told |
| 25 | mainly through the eyes of a poor village lad, |
| 26 | Keshu, returning from the city. The wellknown |
| 27 | director, B. Menon, can here be seen as |
| 28 | an actor. |
