    Sangeethame Jeevitham...
    Jailppulli is a very interesting movie. Especially when compared to the year of it's release. I don't think there were much negative characters as protagonists during those time. The film is based on Gopi (Prem Nazir); a situation driven villain of the movie. Someone who decides to get rich or die trying, after loosing everything in his life. Very curious to see that this thread has been made into many films in Malayalam. There are about 13 songs in this film, including the most famous "Sangeethame Jeevitham..."
