It is a movie on ethical policing. When this movie was produced, the time period `ethical policing' was not within the public use by the activist circles or mental circles. It was produced in 1993. Maybe, the movie was a bit forward of its time . An increasing number of circumstances of ethical policing had been mentioned a long time later.. The victims and survivors of ethical policing in India embrace ladies, non secular minorities, sexuality minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, marginalized nationalities, marginalized linguistic cultures, marginalized areas and marginalized pores and skin colors in India. Ilayum Mullum relies on sure actual incidents that happened in Kerala.
