The movie is a bold expose of to what
level a Communist government can go to stay in control. It is especially so when Kerala is under Communist rule. The party is much acclaimed for its discipline and organisational ability but it can be misused by power hungry leaders leading to a totalitarian rule.
The story is reminiscent of TP Chandrasekaren murder.
Though a love story is the plot into which the message is woven , the viewer is so overwhelmed by the horror unleashed on people who don't follow the dictat that it leaves you with a chill in your heart.
