Paithrukam (1992)

Touches You

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A movie which glorify indian superstitions..just watch if u are blindly addicted to religion and want to satisfy your traditional religious believes. and the movie's climax is a joke..

Jayaram Nade is one of the most beautiful films of the year, and hence he has also been unable to remake from the best of Malayalam movies.Jayaram, Suresh Gopi, Narendra Prasad and Geetha are doing well in the film, while the film is going to come to an end and the beauty of the cinema is the beauty of the cinema.The fact that life takes place in fact gives us a glimpse of the fact that the picture goes to the reality of the society and the confrontation between faith and faith in God

This is a very underrated film in my opinion. It is a work of art. Music, theme, script, choreography.. take your pick and the film have excelled in it. Narendra prasad have played his part to brilliance. Even though Suresh Gopi, Geetha and Maniyanpilla Raju have done equally well, it is Jayaram that steals the show. Man, what a performance! The scene in which Jayaram walks into darkness while Maniyanpilla Raju sings 'Seethakalyana' shall remain in my memories forever! As for alternate beliefs, more than driving one into blind theism, what this film serves to do is to make us wonder if outright atheism is any different from blind theistic believes. It makes us think, shouldn't we be searching for truth before we reject it's very existence. If you haven't watched yet, don't think twice, just go at it already!

Traditional Dressing, Songs, Light Effects, Background Music, with stunning script totally takes our mind to old days while living in this Mechanical life in the 21st Century. Father and mother's love and care to their son or daughter is narrated efficiently. Effectively narrated the demolition of snakes idols and at last begging for mercy to Idol Snake for saving their kid before birth. I feel it is real if any human kills or destroys Snake (in Hindu mythology Snakes are the rulers of earth) or their worshiped idols it will totally destroy their upcoming generation too. Father Narendra Prasad speaks to his Son Suresh Gopi during Suresh Gopis Sons Birth. ("I never forced my sons to follow my path; in reply to Suresh Gopi's dialog "I want my son to follow my path"). I was watching the full movie without washing my hands during dinner.
