Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pakshe captures 90s Kerala's obsession with government service as social currency—IAS officers were marriage market royalty.
Shobana and Mohanlal's chemistry here is devastating because they'd played lovers multiple times before; the history makes the estrangement hurt more.
