What can I say about the most profilic classic of Malayalam cinema. This is from the golden ages, and stands in many ways for what Malayalam cinema had always been about. A great movie, about a great classic. See it even if you don't know a word about Malayalam. The cinematography and the quality of actors in this movie is worth watching.

This movie is amazing in ways. It shows a very real portrayal of the lives of fishermen; their ways and livelihoods. The love story that forms the focus of the movie is also very elegantly captured. I do not wish to say more, and have a spoiler attached to this title. Do see it, for all that the movie stands. As a comment already mentions, this is a romeo and juliet, set in the landscape of a kerala sea shore.
