Bharat Gopi and Jyoti are a happy go lucky couple . They adopt his sister's son . Sukumari comes in a short role as his terminally ill sister. He is often on tours leaving his pretty young wife alone and lonely . She whiles away her time shopping with her friend ( a very young ) Lizzy . They come across Mammooty a budding photographer . He quickly becomes their family friend . They three share a close bond with other friends while going on boat trips , drinking away in front of roaring fires , picnics ... Mammooty runs a small photo studio and takes up the cudgel of taking Jyoti on long walks when she is lonely . One such sojourn leads to them getting very close . She is predictably filled with guilt while he is nonchalant unable to understand her sentiments. He slowly distances himself from her. When Gopi returns back , she tells him her story filled with remorse . Heavily shaken , he understands her , goes to Mammooty and asks him to marry his wife. Casually Mammooty says she's just like other girls he has dated - a lusty slothy woman . Enraged , he shoots him dead and calls the police to hand over himself . An extremely simple story . Raw is the only word for Mammooty with his innocent face and rugged physique . Jyoti wears simple sarees to show her domestic role . Gopi is perfect as the unsuspicious fun loving naval officer . Sukumari Mohanlal and Lizzy are fine in their small roles . Over all a fine movie .
