Why there’s no score yet. A Filmi Score is the mean of our 0–100 readings and we don’t show one built on fewer than three. This film has 0 reviews on file — each row above shows the critic’s own rating where one exists. The score appears the Friday after enough reviews land.

Synopsis

Mathilukal ('Walls') is a free adaptation of the novelette of the same name, written by the celebrated Malayalam writer, Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. Autobiographical in character, it is set against the background of India’s freedom struggle in the ’40s when he was serving a term of imprisonment in the Trivandrum Central Jail. When the film opens, we see Basheer in a police lock-up, quite at home in the company of a few petty criminals. He has been languishing there for more than a year now without a trial.
