At the end of 2010, he also gave the entertaining Best Actor. He would team up with another debutant commercial film maker-Vyshakh in the superhit -Pokkiriraja. In 2009, Pazhassiraja had class and did make numbers in the boxoffice.
#MAMMOOTTY RAJAMANIKYAM MOVIE#
In the same year, Mayavi was a big hit too and is still a great fun movie with immense repeat value. Mammooty would have launched one more talented director to Malayalam Cinema. In 2007, Big B didn’t click in boxoffice, but Bilal would become one of his most iconic characters. Many viewers would return to theaters for watching the flm again and again.īetween 2005 to 2010, Mammootty did more successful commercial movies. His slang and dialogues would all become part of pop culture. The film was Rajamanikyam and Mammootty was 54 years then. What’s interesting though was two weeks later he called me and said he watched the movie a couple more times from theater !

But he tried to understate the experience and said it was just an okay movie. I told this to my friend who accompanied me. When I came out of Anand theater, I was thrilled. How he completely transforms to a different character for a mass commercial entertainer movie still amazes me and it remains the best performance I have seen by an actor in this genre. But to my surprise, not only did he nail the slang for both mass and emotional scenes, he reinvented his comic timing. I doubted if he could carry off the entire film in this way. When Mammootty started with a different slang, I was little sceptical. You realize watching them with an electrying crowd on the first day is a fabulous movie going experience. Watching Mammootty and Mohanlal movies on the first day of release has become a habit now. The King’s audio cassettes would also create records as I remember Mammootty’s dialogues from the film being played at places I go then just like they play songs ! Written by Dennis Joseph, directed by TS Suresh Babu, with its superbly written supporting characters (Sukumaran, Innocent, KPAC Lalitha, Ranjini) rest assured there is not a single dull moment.The film was The King and Mammootty was 44 years old then. Mammootty expectedly aces the Kottayam slang and the comical ruffian sits lightly on him (check out that iconic drunken brawl scene) making it one of his most loved characters of all times. Kunjachan is an affable variant of Sangam’s Kuttappayi (Mammootty again)-the quintessential Christian Achayan who does not take himself too seriously. But Kunjachan is also a lot of fun-after pledging to reform himself, he starts a new business in town, tries to make himself amiable to the townies and just as quickly falls for the charms of Mollykutty (Ranjini). As if to validate his formidable reputation, Kunjachan gets into a scuffle with his earlier employer and single-handedly vanquishes a dozen men who try to mess with him. Kunjachan’s entry echoes like a tom-tom, with a young lad running around, declaring his sighting to all and sundry. Two years ago, Neerad announced a sequel, Bilal, starring Mammootty again and the news was welcomed warmly on social media. Technically it is top notch with its stylishly choreographed action scenes, soundscape, and cinematography. Though the film didn’t do that well at the box-office, a decade later it is considered a cult action thriller. fashioned pithy lines for Bilal, and Mammootty intones it in a peculiar style, bringing his trademark nuances to the character. At a time when heroes were given lengthy verbose monologues in Malayalam cinema, Unni R. Bilal is enigmatic, ominously silent most of the time, and when he does speak, it’s mostly one-liners. Mammootty plays Bilal, the eldest, with whom she had a fallout owing to his criminal activities. The murder of Mary Teacher, a philanthropist, brings back to town her four adopted sons, who decide to find the people behind it. One of the earliest Malayalam films in the last decade that ushered in the new wave, Big B, directed by debutant Amal Neerad, was a loose adaptation of John Singleton’s Four Brothers set in Fort Kochi.
