Based on Malabar folklore about a magician-like bogeyman.

Sinekatalog’s take

G. Aravindan's film retells a Malabar folktale about a magical wanderer who transforms the village children, seen through innocent eyes. Dreamlike and lyrical, with lovely landscapes, it is a gentle, mystical gem of Malayalam cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
