look forward to and it is only a matter of time when the aunts get them to carry out prostitution. He helps the kids in their education and gets Jaya a job in the company in which he's working. Sathyan likes Jaya and wishes to marry her and settle down in life but destiny has other ideas; circumstances force her to end up as a prostitute and there are signs that her sisters will sink in the same quagmire later. In a moment of extreme paranoia, Sathyan kills the two girls in a bid to save them from prostitution and eventually both the guys responsible for her state. The film then cuts back to the present as Sathyan wants to live on a fresh slate. In the end, Sathyan is hanged to death, followed by his funeral. Cast Mohanlal as Sathyanathan Thilakan as Dr. K. V.
