Lalitha Rating75% The film is set in the Punnapra-Vayalar-Haripad area of Coastal Kerala, a hotbed during the Communist movement in Kerala in the 50s. The story is about Chellappan (Sathyan) a fiercely dedicated Communist, an employee at Chacko's business, where he's become a respected leader amongst the working class by organising pickets and strikes. He, however, neglects his family, abusing his wife Bhavani (Sheela) and their two children, a boy named Kuttappan (to whom Chellappan is indifferent), and a younger girl named Kumari (on whom he dotes). Chellappan is depicted as a man of weak moral fiber (he is shown to have a weakness for numerous other women). Moreover he is highly suspicious of his wife Bhavani, who is still rather comely and of clean habits. He often accuses her of infidelity (the reason behind his indifference towards his son, as he believes that he's not his son's biological father), and often wonders whether his wife having an affair with his friend Gopalan (Prem Nazir), another day-labourer. Due to this suspicion he constantly fights with and physically abuses his wife.
