Though
this was supposed to be Shyama Prasad's first movie, it
was his second movie AgniSakshi that managed to release
first and fetch him the awards and recognition in the
cine world.
Anyhow back to this one. The movie tells the story of a
nurse Sita. And mind you, she is just like everyother
malayalee nurse around this part of the country, working
hard so that her siblings and family back home can lead a
happy contended life. She even forsakes the love of
Dr.Suresh for them. But how much of that gratitude
remains is anybody's guess.
Now Sita's sister Raji's wedding gets arranged with
Mohanan whose dowry demands includes even a job visa in
the gulf. However when Sita leaves for Kerala to attend
the marraige, the Gulf War breaks out.
Sita goes missing for some days but then happens to
appear in a newspaper photo holding a child with the
caption: A mother and child at the refugee camp.

The photo is enough to send talks of Sita having an
illegimate child to do the rounds. She finally manages to
resurface in Kerala with the child but only to find a
different attitude from all the people.
VijaySanthi
has really given a superb performances.
The
lady, known for her action roles, has definitely proven
that she is a good actress and can handle any dialogues
and emotions the same way she handles a gun . But here
she has given a superb performance as Sita. Suresh Gopi,
Murali, Dileep, Maniyanpilla Raju all have given good
performances in their respective roles too.
Once again a different movie to Malayalam movies however
Shyama Prasad does not match up to the standards set in
his award winning Agnisakshi.
Illayaraja also gives a rather decent scores though none
of the songs exceptionally stand out.
But the movie has a strong theme but the hard
drama might not be exactly a crowd puller, but is
definitely one fine movie.
