By Mythily Ramachandran
Pothen, a lawyer deals mostly in divorce cases and is also popular as a film critic on television. Vasuki is a home-maker whose second love is Kathakali, a dance form she indulges in.
But then something untoward happens in Vasuki’s life and that is reflected in the change of her behavior.
She is now always anxious over her daughter’s safety and after nagging Pothen she makes him buy a car so that her daughter could be dropped to school every day instead of taking the school bus.

A chance meeting with the city’s police chief, IPS Jeena Bhai (Sheelu Abraham) emboldens Vasuki to approach her for help. From then on the story picks up speed.
Written and directed by A.K. Sajan, ‘Puthiya Niyamam’ is a Nayanthara film all along. Sajan who wrote the scripts for blockbusters (‘Nadiya Kolapetta Ratri’ and Chinthamani Kola Case) has addressed a social issue that could affect women.
This is Nayanthara’s second film with Mammootty after ‘Bhaskar the Rascal,’ and the actress has delivered a good performance. Revealing more would be a spoiler since this psychological thriller saves the best moments for the end when curtains come down.
And, that’s when Mammootty’s Louis Pothen takes over to reveal the twist in the tale.
So is taking the law in one’s own hands the ‘new rule?’
Check that out in ‘Puthiya Niyamam.’
