Trivia
Things worth knowing
- 146 years old — old enough to be someone's favourite childhood film.
- 2Lean credit list — fewer than 30 people officially credited.
- 3Directed by I V Sasi, shot by K. Ramachandra Babu. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
- 4Original score by Shyam. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
- 5Editor K. Narayanan shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
- 6Jayan and Seema and Mohan Sharma carry the top of the cast.
- 7IMDB entry: tt0332665 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
- 8Only 1 TMDB ratings — you're getting ahead of the curve on this one.
