Excellent performances by each and every one. Rare to watch 3 of the best actors in a single film. Mohanlal was perfect in the villainous role, with some terrific revenge scenes. Mammootty got so many sentimental scenes and as usual he was perfect in those scenes. All credit goes to the script writer Padmarajan and director IV Sasi. Film was never boring with any scene and it had a good pace. Even though bharat gopi comes in less number of scenes, all those scenes were excellently portrayed. Music department handled by Syam was good and suitable for the story. After watching the film, one sadness was in the mind that the combination in this film will never be repeated. Casino, who produced some memorable movies, is not there, but the people behind it should start the company once again at least to promote such good movies.

A brutal revenge drama
rtoac110 April 2023
This is one thrilling revenge drama that would shock you at every turn and keep you at the edge of your seats. Credit for it goes to the superb storyline from the genius P Padmarajan.
This Malayalam film stars the greatest stars of the 70-80s viz. Bharat Gopi, Mammootty and Mohanlal. Mohanlal as the villain gets the toughest role and gives the most shocking scenes. Mammootty plays a realistic portrayal and shines as the hero.
The real film undoubtedly is the story where every character when cornered by a situation, chooses the extreme step without thinking through its far reaching consequences. Starting with Chandrika who blames an innocent for her pregnancy.. Who gets murdered by her brother due to her lie. Shivan kills his friend and mentor in rage - indeed blind rage - without even a thought of checking the facts first. And Bhadran in revenge kills Chandrika's husband later on and sells her off to a pimp along with her child. Each character ups the ante of brutality in revenge with no end in sight.
It's Shivan's genuine remorse that ends this cycle of retribution. Bringing Bhadran to his senses and saving Chandrika from her hellish circumstances - a pit she had dug for herself.
The film albeit brutal by the standards of the day is remarkable in its rich character and story development leading up the climax. Watch it!!

Competitive Performance of Mohanlal and Mammotty
linjo1310 May 2009
If u want to see a competitive acting between Mohanlal and Mammotty watch KarimpinPoovinakkare.This is a great movie happening in a village,Dialogues are that punch and Top Notch.Another Movie which shows the caliber of P Padmarajan.Padmarajans Story perfection can be seen in this movie,The movie develops slowly and when it reaches to its thread the movie becomes extremely thrilling and same is the case of Mohanalal.Mohanlal has nothing to do in the starting parts ,where Mamjmooty Dominates and when it comes to the main thread ,M0HANLAL Dominates all ,such a performance of Venegeance.Bharat Gopi also does a notable role as The ASAN of Mammoty,go watch KarimpinPoovinakkare feel the emani9ng of Revenge and Venegance and watch it for top notch dialogues,Perfect dialogues and classical acting from Mohanlal(Especially) and MAmmotty
