Ajay, yes you are right. August 1 was directed by Sibi Malayil.
Anoop,
It is King & the Commisioner. It would have been great if Suresh Gopi had been in the scheme of things. Unfortunately he is not and Prithivi is going to don the role of Bharath Chandan. So, Thevalliparambil Joesph Alex would have a cake walk. Here after a long time, in fact to be precise exactly after 15 years, the fire brand duo of Shaji Kailas & Ranji Panicker come together again for this [if my memory serves me right, today 11th November 1995 was the release date of The King].
A sequel is planned for Madhilugal. Titled Madhilugalukkuppuram, the story starts where Madhilugal ended. How will their life change if Basheer meets Karthiyani after they get released from the prison? To be directed by a debutant, Mammookka on hearing the one line of the story was excited about the knot and said ok it seems.
Thilak, though I do understand your view point on this, still this would be an interesting proposition.
Mammookka's diary is full till 2012. He has so many projects lined up. Still he has a clear policy. 5 films in a year, 2 for mass audience, 2 as per his taste [read class/off beat] and one for commitment.
That's why on the one hand, while he is doing a commercial entertainer like August 15th, on the other he is giving dates to writer Babu Janardhanan for his directorial venture which is going to be a serious film that would deal with the incidents that took place on March 12th of 1993 in Bombay when the city was rocked by serial bomb blasts and how it upturned the lives of so many people.
There are many interesting projects in the pipeline, the details of which coukd be known shortly. No sequel to twenty-20 is planned but there is one hot news. Both Ms are coming together again. Titled Arakkallan - Mukkaakallan, the film would be produced by Mammootty's Play House and this would mark the directorial debut of Sibi- Udayan team, the writer duo, who wrote twenty -20.
Regards
Ajay/Anoop,
Did you notice how age sits lightly on Mammookka? For me the most handsome hero of Indian Cinema for the past so many years.
Thank you Murali sir. Don't know how I missed the post. Only read it today.
It's not the spirit of the script sense that I have a problem with. I think Mammootty is the example that my personal favorites, Kamal and Mohanlal, should look up to. How he had shaped his career. Even if I find him less talented than both (IMHO), he made the most out of his later career than other Indian superstars.
But what makes Mathilukal for me is Muhammad Basheer & Adoor. Basheer's life experience made the film what it is. Adoor didn't collaborate one-to-one while adapting Basheer's book. But he read works of Basheer extensively. And didn't adapt the decidedly better works of the writer (for he didn't feel it'd be favorable adapting into visual form), but something challenging enough, and slightly autobiographical to make something worth being adapted into film. And there is a lot of care with which Adoor renders the film. For want of sleep, I'd have to hit the bed, but will surely dwell on this later.
watched as long as i could a movie entitled "Amarnath" with Mammooty on tv...was it orig. a Malayalam movie that was dubbed? :confused2:
Q,
It is a dubbed film , the original being Godman, a movie directed by K.Madhu that came out in 1999. [You are talking about a movie where Mammootty comes as a Police Inspector and the story is a one which deals with communal tensions that get staged in fishermens' dwelling place, right?]. It was more of a masala variety.
Thilak, understood. Hope you dwell more on this.
Regards
Yes and thank you :)Quote:

Third act was perhaps a tad overlong, but otherwise, excellent.
Murali Anna,
B4 getting to read abt Mammookka in wikipedia, i thought Lal was older than Mammookka.
Yeah Ajay! If you go by sheer looks anybody not familiar with Malayalam film world would only think so. Mammookka is 1953, Sep 7th while Lal is 1960, May 21st(?). But when it comes to appearence, he looks so young. That is how he mantains.

Drona 2010 in Asianet.
Shaji Kailas is indeed a lucky man. even after delivering high profile dud after dud, he keeps getting the dates of the Ms for his next, and promptly dishes out one disaster after another with alarming consistency. can't really remember when he last directed a good successful film, though here the blame is entirely not his. he has mostly done away with his on-your-face close-up shots of the fingers, chappals, moustache, and what not of the lead actor before/during a fight scene and the don max "whoosh whoosh" editing sound that accompanies almost every film of his, but the main culprit is the script or the lack of it by Mr. A.K. Sajan. mammootty as pattaazhi madhavan is the sole saving grace of the film. the other role is just there to tap his good-looking/star side. the usually reliable Manoj K Jayan's attempts at an Anniyan in the climax scene are as laughable as the whole film. no wonder the movie was one of the biggest disasters of this year.
and going by Muraliji's above post, it's the same team Aroma-Shaji teaming up with Mammootty for August 15, only change being the yesteryear lion sn swami who has lost his scriptwriting marbles long back. think it'l just have to back on mammootty's charisma to carry it off. btb, what happened to shaji's much hyped prithvi-in-triple role project 'raghupati raghava rajaram' that was supposed to be completed almost 70-80%. heard that the producer was threatening to take shaji to court or something? muraliji, any idea what happened to that film?
This would be a childish query..but im trying to hard to find the song on net..please help me

Kireedom ............... Lal ettan and Thilakan ... :2thumbsup:
Yeah Jinju! As you had rightly said, much was written about the RRR project but the shooting came to a halt suddenly. Producer had taken it up with the Producers' council and they passed a resolution saying that Shaji should not start any new film till he completes RRR.Quote:

Mammookka is trying to give a life to Shaji and Aroma Mani who lost out in Drona. Also he is doing a favour to SN Swamy. His favours doesn't end there. He had given the distribution rights to two people who could not make much out of Pramani, which they distributed. We are all hoping that the film turns out well for the simple reason, Mammookka's cop roles have always been successful, save for a few.
Regards
Talking about Pramani reminds me of B.Unnikrishnan and I heard his Prithiviraj starrer "Thriller" [loosely based on the murder of Paul Muthoot] is a decent watch and the suspense is maintained till the end.
Talking about Drona, I am yet to watch it. It never came to Chennai or did I miss it?
thanks for the info on RRR, Muraliji...yeah, when i saw the team of August 15, i knew it was an effort to make up on Drona. as u told, cop roles of Mammootty hardly fail. let's hope shaji's back, coz it's long due from him!
nice to hear about Thriller doing well, very important for Prithvi to give solo hits. i found B. Unni's 'IG' a big bore, coz the suspense was more or less revealed (at least for me) in the matter of just 2 scenes 30 mins or so into the film. and talking of Thriller, i was shocked about the news of Mamta Mohandas is a battling cancer patient! kudos to her for fighting it out and being so active in public life! prayers for her recovery.
Prithviraj, despite promise, looks quite funny as a serious masala lead. I find the romance etc in puthiya mukham very funny. Anwar with Mamta Mohandas sollavE vENAm - ice cold vibes.
As for aakrOsham etc., he looks funny doing that.
ellaam theriyin. enna panradhu, thats all we r left with, in the current generation! personally i like his brother better and is a more rounded talent than prithvi, but producers and audience don't seem to think so. others like dileep, jayasurya, naren, the eternal lover boy kunchako boban, etc, don't inspire confidence too. the acting cupboard is bare! waiting for a miracle actor(s) to happen, a shot in the dark is the gen next of the Ms, Salman n Pranav, sons of mam n lal respectively who have evinced interest in acting (they r in their early 20s though!). hopefully, they've inherited some genes. idhu dhaan last hope'nga!Quote:

Thilak,
That is indeed tongue in cheek. The very first photo during the pooja showcased that. I thought of initially posting it when I first wrote about the film 5 months back but later decided against it. Here it is.

Dec 23rd is the release date and it seems that industry talk is positive.
Thanks MS.
Definitely seems reliable. First thought it's scripted by Sreenivasan (Who usually has the appreciable taste for tongue-in-cheek)

Siddique in in Lal combo is different. He is a director alone. His latest is Vijay's Kavalan.
Ok. Lal of that combo is the same one in saNdakOzhi or that's a different guy?
Also, Lal of Siddique+Lal is the same guy who did neelathaamara?
(Shabba orE kanpeesan! )
mr. plum, the siddhique that ajay mentioned is an actor (he was there in Ajit's Jana) and has nothing to do with siddhique-lal (the directors). yep, the lal of siddhique-lal is the sandakozhi lal. and, Neelathamara/Classmates director is Lal Jose who is a different entity altogether. siddhique-lal combo has split and siddhique is directing films independently, of which Kaavalan is the latest. sandakozhi lal has also reduced his acting assignments following the success of his first independently directed film, 2 Harihar Nagar which was a sequel to one of the combo's several hits, In Harihar Nagar.

I dont remember searching for any movie (with subtitles) like I have did for this one. Cehnnai Burma bazaarla irundhu Trivendrum Beemapalli bazaar varaikkum ketu partha padam. Finally downloaded the subtitles version from youtube.
Liked it :)
The best thing about the movie is - each and every charecter in the movie, even if they come for few mnutes are nicely carved and every sub-stories that accompany the main line are wonderfully done. From a guy who wants to get out of rotting nest, the grandma of the home who is partly apathetic to the happenings and finds an entertainment value in everything, a nubile girl and her insecurity :clap:
And the relationship between everyone of them is clearly done.We get to understand why someone behaves like that easily.
Wonderful performances by everyone.
Mammootty as the lead - Cant imagine anyone else playing this role this better. :clap: especially his dialogue delivery...I can understand what he says just by his voice modulation even without knowing the language completely
Thilakan - Tailor made role for him. He could enact this role even in his sleep I guess.
Kaviyoor ponanmma - One of the most adorable moms on a movie screen.
Mukesh - Neatly done
One of the most moving climaxes one would have watched ever and a similar climax was done by a famous tamil director in a famous movie - but the tamil movie climax dint even have 1% impact of the climax of this movie.
Its there on youtube with subtitles..if interested get to watch it before someone deletes it citing some regulations.
Great review Vignesh! Very nicely done.
