Adoor Gopalakrishnan weaves magic as he spells out the story of a man in jail. The story follows him and all that happen to him as he meets a woman on the other side of the wall separating their jails (men and women). Neither has seen each other, nor do they know much about the other, but they end up gaining a connection although separated by the wall.
Mammooty plays to perfection the role of a man in jail. His expressions, his friends, his good nature, all perfectly. The symbolism of the tale is excellent. The wall symbolizes both unity and separation. It is only through the wall that two people met. yet, it is that same wall that keeps them apart. Characterization is key and the ending is open and for you to decide what will happen.
All i can say is :"Mastery of storytelling"
