Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost For students of cinema (Spadikam) is a great showcase for how a film might rise above its times, both cinematically and socially, yet simultaneously be unevolved. Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Mr A Fascinating mass entertainer of Lalettan. Lalettan as Aadu Thoma is very reletable, entertaining, and strong, and powerful gangster. Inriguingly, my name is also Thomas and I know what it feels like to be passionate about something and to have your parents disagree with it. Thilakan as Chacko Master was a cruel father and a jerk throughout most of the movie as he didn't love Thoma and was always putting him down, whipping him, comparing him to other kids in school, and worst of all, forcing Nedumudi Venu as Ravunni Master to fail him to satisfy his own selfishness. However, the father realizes his mistakes and repents to Thoma which went a long way. I despise Spadikam George as SI Kuttikadan, Kundara Johny as Constable Manyian, Bheeman Raghu as Somashekeran Pillai and Sreeraman as Pookoya as they antagonize Thoma and are even bigger jerks to him. However, they all got what they deserved in the end ;). You can't mess with Lalettan as Aadu Thoma or you'll regret it bigtime. It's a pity this movie ended sad with Thoma's father having died due to a gunshot wound. Urvashi as Thulasi is very endearing as she's Thoma's girlfriend. When they reunite, Thoma wants nothing to do with her which is upsetting but he admits his feelings for her later on which I like. My favorite scenes are the fight scenes because I like seeing Lalettan fighting on screen. I wish I was able to see the re release of this movie but it wouldn't have been fun without my friend Mira as I always enjoy engaing in conversations about Actor Lalettan and his movies with her. Lalettan also won the Kerala State Film Award and Malayalam Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Lalettan is a legandary actor and will always be better than the new generation actors.
