Based On the book by P. Padmarajan

Rathinirvedam (transl. Adolescent desire) is a 1978 Indian Malayalam-language erotic drama film directed by Bharathan and written by P. Padmarajan based on his own novel of the same name. In the film, Pappu, a teenager, is awaiting his pre-degree results to join an engineering course. He gets attracted to his neighbour Rathi, who is a middle-aged woman, and falls hopelessly in love. The story-line of the film miffed many for its sensitive portrayal of the lead as well as garnered appreciation for its narrative.
