Adimakkachavadam is a 1978 Indian Malayalam film, directed by Hariharan and produced by P. Sukumaran. The film stars M. G. Soman, Jayan, Jayabharathi, K. P. A. C. Lalitha and Adoor Bhasi in the lead roles. The film has musical score by G. Devarajan.[1] [2] [3]
Sita, an honest and virtuous girl, is married to Vasu who promptly abandons her after cheating her of her gold jewellery. He uses the money to pay off Ponnamma's father and marries her. Sita has to face the recrimination of society alone as she gives birth to Vasu's child. Meanwhile, Ponnamma realizes that women are as exchangeable as cattle for the cattle trader Vasu. She is persuaded by her ex-lover to elope with him. Will Sita take back her repentant husband? Or has she grown disillusioned by this time?
The film explores the exploitation of women by men, whether they are virtuous and obedient like Sita. Or rebellious like Sita's sister Chandrika who elopes with a rich man's son- only to be abandoned by him.
The music was composed by G. Devarajan and the lyrics were written by Mankombu Gopalakrishnan.
