Sandarbham (original) (raw)

'Sandarbham' (Malayalam: സന്ദര്‍ഭം) is a 1984 Malayalam film directed by Joshy, written by Cochin Haneefa, screenplay by Kaloor Dennis, and starring Mammootty, Sukumaran, Saritha, Seema, P. K. Abraham, K. P. A. C. Sunny and Unni Mary. The film is a typical tear-jerker family-drama tragedy of the 1980s. Films of this genre typically featured a happy family in the beginning, with a well placed husband-cum-father, a young mother and a girl child of the age of 3 or 4. In the end, the family gets into a whirlpool of relationship problems. The film was remade in Tamil as Paadatha Thenikkal.
