It won four National Film Awards (Best Screenplay, Best Film on Other Social Issues, Best Music Direction, and Special Jury Award for Cinematography), as well as several Kerala State Film Awards, and two Filmfare Awards South. This film deals with the mental and physical agony that a young Namboothiri widow had to undergo for losing her chastity. Parinayam is loosely inspired by the life of Kuriyedathu Thathri and revolves around Smārthavichāram — a ritualistic trial for adultery practiced among the Brahmins of Kerala.[1] It is often regarded as a classic in Malayalam cinema.
