[Renjith R · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Who wants freedom?" That's was a very meaningful questions that rose from an helpless mind. Even when we are behind the bars, we will be like in heaven if we are in love.

'Mathilukal' is Vaikom Muhammad Basheer's one of the master pieces. When it became a movie, which brought a new perspective without losing its actual essence. Adoor has done an incredible job by narrating a classic into another medium without losing its core.
