After Sherin returns to town as a widow with a daughter, Abhilash's unspoken love resurfaces.

Abhilasham¡¯s review

A part of The Lensmen¡¯s review of the film read, ¡°Abhilasham was a concept where if they had reduced the melodrama and used the climax to build a 20-minute short film, the feel factor would have worked wonderfully. The kind of breathing space the film gets when Binu Pappu and Tanvi Ram have a conversation at the end should have been the movie¡¯s tone. But unfortunately, that happens only at the very end after dragging a slim plot for almost two hours.¡±
