Jayaram

[swathy]

I just want to know about your opinion on my favorite actor
Jayaram

[NTR]

Good actor...
Talented in comic scenes as well as serious scenes..
He did very well in Friends..

[Alan]

I got to know about Jayaram when my Malayali friends, their parents etc kept saying that my fiancee resembles Parvati, Jayaram's wife who was an actress herself.

I began to watch Malayalam movies with the help of my friends. I can't follow every word but I like his histronics on screen. Together, they make a beautiful pair, both on screen & off screen.

He played pivotal part in Thenali
Slightly lesser important role in Panchathantiram..
He also played Gadam with Kamal in AIDS Awareness function in Hyderabad..
No doubt, when best actor in India loves him, so do we

Hihahahahahahhahhahah...
That was funny..

Enda paiyan kullanuku heartle otta

[blahblah]

No doubt Jayaram is a good entertainer.I have seen almost all his movies in Malayalam and really liked the fellow.I hope he doesn't make the mistakes of Lal- becoming a fatty and taking himself for Rajnikant.

The easy comedy roles look good indeed for Jayaram.If he takes up serious character roles or action packed movies,I don't think I will watch him.

[P_R]

How was he in Julie Ganapathy ?

I read very good reviews but the film was out of the theatres before i could catch it. Apparently for a great part of the film he was sitting in a cot and had to depended on his expressions. Heard he pulled it off really well

[Avenger]

[NTR]

Is he doing a role in upcoming Ajit's Paramsivan?

[swathy]

yah I saw his still today in TOI

[Sandeep]

[tscii]Jayaram started is career with two movies of the Legendary Padmarajan.

He was one of the most lucky to have acted in 3 movies by Padmarajan, even the two M's got chance to act in only 2 movies each, and those remain among their best.

Moonnampakkam - 1988
(The Third Day)

Thampi (Thilakan), a retired bureaucrat in his 80’s is leading a secluded life in a seaside village in solitude. The news of the arrival of his grandson Bhasi (Jayaram) for vacation creates ripples in his life. Bhasi is a medical student whom he has not seen for many years. Bhasi arrives with 3 of his friends for a memorable vacation. As things brighten up and memories are aroused, a fateful incident occurs. Bhasi, while frolicking with his friends in the beach, disappears in the sea. The old man is shattered, and on the third day, the body is washed ashore… Oh the three day wait for the body to be washed shore (thats the only way to confirm the death) is unbearable

Direction & Screenplay: Padmarajan
Cast: Thilakan, Jagathi Sreekumar, Jayaram, Keerthi, Ashokan, Rahman
Cinematography: Venu
Editing: B Lenin, Vijayan
Music: Ilyaraja



Aparan - 1988
(The Other)

A story of mistaken identity, Aparan is about an innocuous good guy mistaken for a gangster boss who may well have been his twin brother (Jayaram double role). Dont mistake this movie for a action or comedy one this is some real hardcode serious cinema. Here again comes the Padmarajan effect he no where categorically tells you if the good guy was indeed the gangster the viewer just believes (rightly or wrongly) it along the way.

Direction & Screenplay: Padmarajan
Cast: Jayaram, Shobhana, Parvathi, Jalaja, Madhu, Soman
Cinematography: Venu
Music: Johnson

Innale - 1989
(The Past)

Gauri (Shobhana) the sole survivor of a tragic bus accident loses her memory. Admitted to a private nursing home, where she is diagnosed as suffering from 'hysteric amnesia', she falls in love with the doctor's son (Jayaram). However, Narendran (Suresh Gopi) arrives from USA, claiming to be her husband. But Gauri doesnt recognise Narendran, and he returns to the US wishing the young couple well. Seems to be an ordinary story but the Padmarajan touch is that Narendran's claim that he is Gauri's husband is left unverified. And as you return home after watching the movie the question remains in your mind Was Narendran Gauri's husband and did he drop that claim after realising that Gauri doesnt remember him?

Direction & Screenplay: Padmarajan
Cast: Shobhana, Jayaram, Suresh Gopi, Srividya
Cinematography: Venu
Music: P G Ravindranath

[swathy]

Thanks Sandeep :-)

[P_R]

Sandeep the plots you have described are extremely interesting. As a Tamil, I have always had a justifiable jealosy over the Malayalam films. Having to take different yardsticks to judge Tamil films has always been a source of disappointment that I have carefully hidden.

I had never heard of Padmarajan till today. Thanks for the intro.

[Sandeep]

The other way round also hold good for Malayalis :)

Why I pointed out these movies was because Jayaram's strong area has always been comedy. As a result people overlook his performances in these movies though the movies themselves are widely discussed.

[swathy]

I have watched lot of his Malayalam movies. He is good both in comedy and emotional scenes. I have seen his eyes swollen in the crying scenes.

In the movie Ende Veedu apputen ( Kannadi pookkal in Tamil ) both Jayaram and his son would have made everyone to cry.

[Shakthiprabha.]

Jayaram :roll:

:huh:

Speechless......... I am.

Also ive nto seen malyalam movies, so cant talk much. In tamizh he DID NOT CREATE any big impact.

[Alien]

Jayaram is one of the better actors in Tamil cinema. He is a much better performer than many tamil "actors" 8-) ....
His comedy timing is Excellent :P 8-)


No doubt, when best actor in India loves him, so do we :thumbsup:

[swathy]

Yesterday I watched Jayaram participating in Swarnamala. I never knew that he can sing well. :clap:

He also spent one whole day in orphange.

[Sandeep]

He is also a Vadhyamella expert (Chenda is his instrument).

[swathy]

He is also a Vadhyamella expert (Chenda is his instrument).

Yah I remember he played with Kamalji in Hyderabad for that aids awareness program

[azhagi]

Jayaram is also a very good mimicry artist....that's what I've heard.

Can anyone suggest latest good Malayalam movies,almost lost touch with malayalam -want to desperately see some movies,after all it is my mother tongue

[swathy]

Jayaram is not out
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 22, 2006]



Though Jayaram's Madhuchandralekha received mixed reviews, the movie is reportedly doing a good business at the box office.

The movie featuring Jayaram, Urvasi and Mamta Mohandas looks set to compensate the distributors and the theatre owners.

Buzz is that director Rajasenan is now planning to remake the film in Tamil with Jayaram in the lead role.

Rajasenan is also planning to make another film in Malayalam with Jayaram in the lead. The Tamil version of Madhuchandralekha will begin only after he completes the new film.

[nkv]

IMO, Jayaram's best perfomance is in Karunyam.. Wow.. what a movie from Lohithadas!!!! Both Jayaram and Murali simply excelled in this movie....

[swathy]

Hope u mention the movie with manju warrier.

[nilavupriyan]

[Priyankak]

[Alan]

I enjoyed "Friends", "ShubhYatra", "Malayalimammanu Vanakkam" "Sneham" and " Innale" Looking forward to seeing offbeat Cinemas by him like "Shesham" & "Theerthadanam"

[Sandeep]

How you understand these movies Alan.

[Malayalathaan]

Jayaram is by far one of the best actors in Malayalam cinema. Yes he started in mimicry, I remember seeing his mimicry back in the late 80's, he's EXTREMELY good!

Some of my favorite movies w/ him:

Meleparambil Aan Veedu
Naadan pennum, Naattu Pramajaniyum (i think that is what its called)
Mayilattam
Kavadiyattam
Malayali Mamanu Vanakkam
Peruvannapurathu Viseshangal
Paarai (Tamil)

How you understand these movies Alan.

Well, yes, with the help of subtitles- but I do understand that the 'soul' of the movie is lost that way? Because there is a limitation in translation? Can't help it! :sigh:
