Old Malayalam Movies....

[mallu1982]

Hi guys,
I just wanted to create a topic to discuss or review old malayalam movies. Old malayalam movies meaning before the 90's. There have been great movies from the 90s to now but everyone knows about them and is still discussing them. So I thought a topic for the older movies would be good.

[mallu1982]

Does anyone remember the movies that Mohanlal and Karthika acted in...I think they did about 8-10 movies together I'm not sure exactly how much. But I have been trying to figure out the names of two movies with them in it.
First movie is where Mohanlal plays Shalini's father and her mother had passed away. Karthika marries Mohanlal because she loves Shalini. In the end Shalini's character dies and Karthika's character dies after having the new baby.
Second movie is where Mohanlal and Karthika have had their marriage arranged from childhood. But Mohanlal does not really want to marry her and he becomes an outcast of the family. Karthika's dad makes her marry a guy who dies after a week of marriage. Then her dad makes her marry Soman's character who is the father of two children. When Soman's character passes away the children's aunt takes them away and Karthika goes to live by herself somewhere. In the end Mohanlal and her meet again.

If anyone knows what the names of these two movies are please reply.

that sounds good. i think i will be able to post a few reviews and write ups on them.

[tscii:b113d62cd1]Sathyan the fore-runner of star-syndrome in Malayalam cinema started his career as a teacher. He then joined the army became a police officer afterwards and finally landed up in the silver screen.
His first film came out in 1950. He acted in 153 Malayalam films, and a few Tamil films. For more than a quarter century, he remained the very masculine, dark, hero, with rough manners and a shy smile that captivated the Malayali psyche.
Neelakuyil, was a land mark in the history of Malayalam cinema. There were signs to save Malayalam film from the traditional grip of theatre and Tamil filmdom. He introduced the characteristic ethnic Malayali hero, humane on one hand, and will all the weakness of ordinary human being on the other. In Chemmen he essayed the role of Pazhani-a lonely man with a turbulent soul.

Uthpal Dutt, on seeing Satyan’s performance in ANUBHAVANGAL PAALICHAKAL- remarked “in the face lined with the agony and threats of ordinary laborer …I could discern the great talent of Satyan portraying the inner chaos of an ordinary worker…”

some interesting tidbits ......sathyan (of Chemmeen fame) was a native Tamil speaker, a fact known to few. The first malayalam film was produced by J.C. Daniel, a Tamilian. The ever popular Tamil actor MGR was a malayali and so is the popular villain Nambiar.

HI ppl

Can someone help me.

I am TIRED of searching for the pic of one mallu actress (some say shez lizy, some say her name must be parvathy etc)

She must have acted in 80z :?

I happen to see a movie, where her cast was with mamooty or mohanlal :? (not sure) The story was, about a 2 year old child who would have fallen into a pit. The whole movie talks about the trauma of how the child escapes and how the family members help the child out of the pit.

I LOVED the movie for its sensible story.

This heroine had the MOST BEAUTIFUL pair of eyes Ive ever seen (like banupriya, she had fish eyes)

I wanna know her name to search for some decent pics of hers.

[sivank]

Padmanabha,

Many movies which u have mentioned have arised a unique desire in me to pay any price and watch few movies atleast online.

Iruttinde aatmavu
bhargavi nilayam
oru peninntE katha
Chidambaram
yavanika

are few.

Oppol I think has been remade :roll: with few changes as "chellamE" in tamizh very recently.

AAranazhika neram, thotram and the likes are tooo gloomy for my taste so I am gonna skip it :| T

Aparna is something I think I MAY wanna watch.

I always remember doordharshan telecasting classic telugu, kannada and mallu movies on saturdays 11 am during 70z and early 80s. I was too young to grasp the mallu movies though malyalam movies alone made impact on me. Few classic telugu (except few like shankarabharanam and the likes) movies and VERY few kannada movies made any stamp in my mind.

Mallu movies did have an impact though packed with GLOOM which would linger on for few hours.My mom and me would be watching these movies every saturday. Mom would keep reading some tamil novel and also watch the movie. I would pretend to read some amarchitra katha or ambulimama and steal glances now and then. There wont be any words uttered during the movie or after between me and mom....somehow I could always sense a gloom hanging in the house after MOST mallu movies. I would feel strangely heavy after watching these movies and wont even know why cause, I was too young then and didn't understand an iota of what exactly most mallu movies wanted to convey.

Given a choice may be if I watch 'elipathayam' now I may find a diff perspective and would take a liking too. Ive always been a person who appreciated art movies than commercial ones, however saddened that art mvoies always portray gloom/misery or negative aspects of live.


Herez a story review of one of my fav movie " Chemeen (prawns): " I supp I took a liking to madhu after this movie and always pictured him as a handsome, sad man with a yearning face. I never understood why he looked gloomy or why karuthamma and paree cried every now and then. Now, reading the story I can place things. I am gonna watch it online again.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemmeen


Story: based on a novel by Thakkzhi s. pillai

Cast: Madhu, Sheela, Sathyan.

Plot:

Chemmeen is set in a fisherfolk community. The fisherfolk beileve that the safe return of a fisherman from the sea depends on the fidelity of his wife waiting for him on shore. This is intertwined with the myth of the "sea-mother", the destroyer and preserver of the community.

Karutthamma (played by Sheila in the movie), the daughter of a fisherman Chembankunju (Kottarakkara), is in love with a fish trader, Pareekkutty (Madhu), who helps her ambitious father buy a boat and net in return for which, Chembankunju promises to sell his catch to Pareekkutty on credit. However Chembankunju dishonors the agreement and forbids Karutthamma and Pareekutty's relationship.

Months later, when a chakara occurs on the shore, Chembankunju meets a young visiting fisherman from the south named Palani (Satyan) and makes Karutthamma marry him. Palani trusts his wife in spite of rumours that she is unfaithful. His reaffirms his trust each time he ventures to the sea and returns home safely. However finally, Pareekkutty has an affair with Karutthamma on the seashore .Palani drowns. Pareekkutty, Karutthamma, and Palani's fish are shown dead on the shore.

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1310/is_1989_Feb/ai_7546131/

The above (link) article captures the emotional part more vividly.

I liked the part where


"Karuthamma!" Palani's cry rose above the roar of the storm.

Why did he cry out for Karuthamma? The guardian angel of the fisherman at sea is his wife at home. He was begging her to pray for his safety. Didn't the first fisherman come safely home in spite of the storm because of the power of a fisherwoman's prayer? Palani, too, believed he could be saved. He had a wife. She would pray for him. Hadn't she given him her word even the night before?

She promises him fidelity and every time he returns home safely he seals every mouth which leashes against karuthamma. In despair finally he cries "karuthamma" only for split seconds he would have realised she did not keep up his promise and be faithful to him :(

( Why doesn't this fidelity hold good for men I wonder though :| )

I am gonna watch it sometime
