+Frontier melodrama about Kerala’s Thazavad
+manorial system which is based on matrilineal
+kinship. Sreekrishna (Venu), the brother of the
+Madambipura House’s leader, Yashoda, is
+extremely friendly with his servant Manikan
+(Mohanlal). Another servant, Appikala, envious
+of Manikan’s favoured status, is the film’s
+official villain. The Madambipura House is
+locked in an ancestral rivalry with the equally
+large establishment run by Ganjimuda
+Gandhari, which usually finds expression in
+the bullock cart race at the annual Pongal
+festival. Both Sreekrishna and Manikan fall in
+love with the beautiful itinerant theatre actress
+Karuthambi (Shobhana), causing Manikan to
+briefly fall out of favour with both Yashoda and
+the local law. The film’s camerawork adopts
+the glossy style (diffusers and angled lighting
+calibrated to the exposure of high-speed colour
+stock) made fashionable by Tamil
+cinematographer P.C. Sriram. Shot mostly at
+dawn and dusk, the camerawork creates a
+glittering fantasy world that in turn determines
+both plot and performances.
