Adoor's women present typical versions of patriarchal domination as well as feminist rebellion, and therein the four vignettes miss out on an opportunity to make any radical statement. Perhaps, Adoor could have looked at women as women - excessive of their social roles, but then that would have gone against the premises of the film as it stands, which want to show women IN their social roles.

The film, successfully documents the condition of women in Kerala from 1940s to 1960s, with utmost care gone into recreating every detail of that period. It can be even argued that the condition of women of today is almost unchanged compared to their situation some five or six decades ago and therefore the film is still relevant.
