A young woman, who after being cured of leprosy, is disapproved by her family and society. However, she then makes it her mission to educate the illiterate society about the disease.
If you are a Sathyan fan, see this one. His performance is natural. I always had an feeling that his talent, as an actor, was never fully explored. He just had 'Odayil Ninnu', 'Kadalppaalam' and few other movies to his credit. Though i remain in doubt about A.Vicent's directing abilities. His career graph as a director may have been very successful, but there is hardly any movie worth remembering, except 'Bhargaveenilayam', 'Murappennu' or 'Nagarame Nandhi'. He was without any doubt multi-talented, but his later directorial efforts, though successful, remained mediocre.This movie also has Prem Nazir's one of the very few fine performances. As always though, he is loud, yet believable. He and Sathyan has chemistry, that works. Thoppil Bhasi's script is okay, but the main attraction remains Sathyan, a doctor and a simpleton! 7 out of 10.
