I absolutely love this endearing classic. It's too bad Lalettan and Karthika are not boyfriend and girlfriend in this movie as they are in other movies they were in together. Lalettan as Gopalakrishna Panicker may not be the nicest man but he does show a kind side in the movie. My favorite scene from an image standpoint is where Lalettan wears a beige dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up. Gopalakrishnan is wearing that shirt in his introduction scene toward the beginning of the movie where he gets pushed off the bus, the scene where he argues with Rajendran who is Sreenivasan's character, the scene where he goes to Sankaradi's office and the scene where he and Meera who is Karthika's character are in the clothing store. My favorite scene from an action standpoint is where Gopalakrishnan fights Damodaran and his goon apparently called Bolaram. I like the name Gopalakrishnan for Lalettan as it's one of my favorite Indian names. There were times where I imitated Lalettan by carrying an umbrella with me just to look cool. Lalettan looked very handsome in this movie and I like his short tempered personality. The scene I found cringe is where Meera and Monu were throwing his furniture and items out of the house and destorying it. It was just cringe to see that. There are other cringe scenes such as when Gopalakrishnan was yelling at Meera on the bus and then the other passengers getting into a scuffle with him. Although Gopalakrishnan is somewhat mean in the beginning, I can't hate him because he's very relatable. I mean sure he's aggressive with the tenants as he's in debt but he's not a bad guy. Poor Gopalakrishnan, he doesn't have a lot of friends and no one is in love with him but he's focusing on himself. However, he has a caring side which we see in the climax. He was likely feeling lonely in the end as the tenants left the 🏡 but he called Meera back and they start a new life together which is surprising but amazing. Lalettan truly deserves the Filmfare Award as Best Actor in this 🎥.
