Peter Cowie wrote in the book '' International Film Guide 1978 '' , " '' Pallavi '' has some of the flaws common to a first film ( Lankesh , much admired as a Kannada writer , is new to the cinema ) , but is actually very competent and unswerving in its denunciation of the primitive role still accorded to most Indian women . " At the 24th National Film Awards , '' Pallavi '' won in three categories : Second Best Feature Film , Best Feature Film in Kannada and Best Direction for Lankesh . It won in five categories at the Karnataka State Film Awards : Best Film , Best Direction ( Lankesh ) , Best Music ( Rajeev Taranath ) , Best Screenplay and Best Dialogues ( Lankesh )
