The 70s were filled with family formulas. This is a relevant movie even today . Prem Nazir comes to visit his home town which is a sprawling estate surrounded by lush greenery . He meets Jayabharati who is taking care of her 4 year old son . Prem strikes a friendship with that boy as he is lonely in this vast estate . She often berates and hits her son for talking to Prem Nazir . Puzzled and curious he asks the people working in his estate . After the initial hesitation, they narrate JB's back ground .Her elder sister Srividya was sweet talked and cheated by a rich man a few years before . Srividya innocently believed that he will marry her . Despite having suiters in her own community , she ignores all and goes around with her rich paramour. The child actually belongs to Srividya who had died broken in spirit . JB has sworn off rich men life long . An impressed Prem goes to her house asking her hand in marriage but she stoically refuses . Slowly Prem changes her opinion about him. Prem and JB unite in the end . JB is cute as a young innocent girl teasing her sister about the men surrounding her and then later as a mature grown up woman sure of herself . Srividya as usual is ethereal in simple sarees as a girl from the lower strata . Her expressive eyes do most of the talking . Prem is perfect as a confused lover boy. Over all a fine movie . The lush green back ground of Kerala needs no introduction.
