Thoovanathumbikal (1987)

Thanks for the memories!

Blistering performances.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

He is a masterpiece of Padmarajan ....Padmarajan is a magical magic only.The most beautiful film about the rainy season is the focus of the film. The presence of the heroine Clara is filled with rain.Padmarajan has written a story based on the life of his friend Unnikrishnan. Padmarajan joined the character Clara in the film Unni Menon

i cant actually explain in words what this movie means, but no matter how many times repeatedly i have watched this movie, i never get bored a bit. a beautiful love story and Mohanlal's performance was outstanding. i probably have seen this movie 1000 times already..... still fresh, each scene, dialog with a deep inner meaning. Padmarajan, Malayalam movies miss you... even though there is a touch of adult theme in the movie, we never get a vulgar feel. the whole movie revolve round the axis called love and no other movie can make you feel how love actually feels. all the movies try to explain love, but in this movie we can feel love. love between Clara and jayakrishnan also love between Jayakrishnan and Radha...... just pure love in a very natural situation and the dialogs are also very natural and a common man's words

A film about a man who have his own principles in life regarding all his deeds accidentally breaks one and changes brought by it to his life. Mohanlal plays a man who lives in village and having lot of friends in town.He likes a girl and when he tell her about that he got denied.After that he got involved in a relation with a virgin girl whom he never thought would be like that.He decides to marry that girl following some of his principles in life.By that time girl he really loved comes to him and he have to choose between the two.This man don't want to hide anything from his lover and tells her abt his old relationship.He cant stop himself seeing that old girl and finally he have to choose the right one.

Anyone who is unsure why Padmarajan is haled as one of Malayalam's's best directors ever see this movie. The plot revolves around the relationship that a guy has with a prostitute. Mohanlal plays the role of the common villager in the first scene but he is not what he seems to be as Ashokan finds out after some time. He asks Parvathy to marry him but she declines making fun of him. He meets Sumalatha, whose mother wants to gain some money but making her a pro. Mohanlal feels guilty when he understands he has made her start the journey to destruction, being a prostitute. By this time Parvathy learns more about Mohanlal and falls in love with him but then Mohanlal could not give in because of his guilty feeling. He tells Parvathy about Sumalatha. She tells him never to meet Sumalatha again but Mohanlal replies by saying he doesn't know what will happen if he meets her again. What happens when she does come and meet ? Watch the movie ..
