The movie revolves around Kizhakumbattu, an ancestral home in a village. There is a temple near the Kunhjimalu (Arachana) and Sharothe Ammini’s house. These are daily to offer prayers at temple. There was a faith among the people that, if anybody offers unusual appeal to the deity at this temple, a blue lotus will bloom in the pond near the temple. Kunhjimalu was Appukkuttan’s uncle’s daughter.
Due to alliance between M.T Vasudevan Nair and ace director Lal Jose Neelathamara was a much anticipated movie. Interlaced with sensuality and romance, this film has gained attention from audience due to the presence of new comer Archana Kavi, who is been presented with a sultry tone.
Neelathamara is a woman centric subject, the story is about the girl (Archana Kavi) coming as a house maid in a mansion to assist the landlady. Her son (Kailas) who return home after his studies take advantage of the maid, he later marries another woman. The story line is thin and the climax seems to be a full stop in the middle of story. The film hasn't got many characters; the director ensembles a fresh new cast including Kailas and Archana Kavi.
The song 'Anuraga....' tuned by Vidyasagar got received well. Those who have an ear for music found similitude with 'Karimizhi Kuruvi ' from Meesa Madhavan and 'Poove Poove Paalappove' from Devadhoothan.
With able direction from Lal Jose, cinematographer Vijay Ulaganath has successfully created moving frames with authentic look. Art direction from Gokul Das has immensely helped the film, Neelathamara, which is told in flash back.
Neelathamara having duration of less than two hours would have been better if made as a short film.
New hero Kailas was earlier seen in Anil directed 'Parthan Kanda Paralokam' in a small role. He rechristened as Kailas for the new avatar as central character in this movie. He has done well and can be considered a good addition to the youth in Malayalam film.
Lal Jose has proved to be more truthful and dedicated to M.T than to the audience. This beautifully crafted movie may fade after the initial attraction.
