Nivedyam

The movie traces the life of Mohana Krishnan (Vinu Mohan), who inspite of being a high caste “Namboodiri”, does carpentry.  He is sent by a lyricist who was his deceased father’s (a famous literary) to learn music to Kovilakom. There Mohana starts working in the temple while learning music from Thampuram. All the girls who are studying there also like Mohan. There is an orphan Satyabhama (Bhama) who also learns music there and she also falls in love with Mohan.

After this it’s the regular filmi story – boy meets girl...they fall in love...girl is betrothed to the villain...boy fights villain...society opposes boy and girl...boy is forced to kill the villain...Boy is jailed...girl vows to wait for him forever.

The only saving grace of the movie is Bhama whoes innocence steals your heart. She plays the character of an effervescent village belle who smiles with mischief inspite of all her trubles with aplomb.

Vinu Mohan looks like a foolish tongue in cheek rebel without a cause. No one else even deserves a mention. Music is below average. The story is all over the place. Very frankly I couldn’t sit through the movie.


The movie is available with Moser baer with subtitles - Moserbaer - Nivedyam

Do skip.
