    Good Old Times.
    The old Malayalam Drama films had very close connection with real life stories. Apart from the melodrama required during that period, the story is still around us even after 50 years of it's release. I often imagine how beautiful was the world without a smart phone, people living in real world, among real live people, without digging their head to the smartphone. It's a very good movie with 2 beautiful songs, which are my favorites.
