      Raghavan Nair: Law points?

      Prabhakaran: [Jumping from his seat] It is you Father! I thought you were some monopolists! I was startled.

      Raghavan Nair: Why are you afraid of monopolists?

      Prabhakaran: They are the ones who must be feared. Enemies of the revolution! Obstacles in the path of social equality! Poisonous snakes!

    Timeless classic
    This is an all time favourite movie of most Malayalis. Some scenes tickle your funny bones. In some scenes it's heart wrenching to see the poor father suffer because of his sons who are political rivals but the messaging is so strong and so relevant that you cannot stop admiring this political satire.
