A great film about the various responses to life: inaction, escape, rebellion and suffering. Each of these responses is expressed by different characters in the film. The film is a marvelous portrait of the village life in Kerala. The performances, and the music, are consistently remarkable.
The film makes one uncomfortable precisely because one knows that what one is condemning on-screen is not far from what one has been guilty of oneself at times: Avoidance of Reality.

Kerala made fine films about social injustice...long long ago I saw Thulabharum with the immortal Sarada about a woman who is compelled to poison her children ...Sarada later unsuccessfully transmigrated in Bollywood...it was a film whose memory has lingered...
hi Harmanjit,
thanks for letting us know about this film. I have been trying to watch some malayalam films, especially by Adoor. Can you tell me where to get malayalam films with english subs ?

For those looking for a humane option, using a rat trap comprised of a metal cage with a special mechanism designed to close once the rat enters the cage. Inside the metal cage, bait is placed to entice the rat to enter. The rat triggers the door to shut upon entering the cage and ends up trapped inside. This allows you to trap, transport and release the rat at a location of your choosing.
