+Priyadarshan’s highly adapted version of Asit
+Sen’s Deep Jweley Jai (1959) and Khamoshi
+(1969) following also in the wake of Milos
+Forman’s successful One Flew Over the
+Cuckoo’s Nest (1975). Mentally deranged hero
+Vinu (Mohanlal) is admitted to an asylum,
+where he is befriended by one of the doctors
+(Venu) who happens to be a childhood buddy.
+Heroine Savithri (Karthika), also employed in
+the hospital, falls for the hero in the process of
+curing him. However, Savithri’s tyrannical
+father (Soman), who owns the asylum, cruelly
+performs a lobotomy operation on the hero
+because he fears for his daughter’s future. Like
+all Priyadarshan films, this one too works
+extensively with flashbacks, using the various
+drastic shock treatments meted out to the hero
+as an excuse for some psychedelic musical
+effects.
