Recent Attractions-Malayalam movies.

As a result of being vetti for so long(porandhadhula irundhe apdithan),Ive come across few interesting things in recent past...

first one malayalam movies...

Dont think I know malayalam.Then u could ask how I could understand those movies?...I also had the same doubt(ennamo engilipees padam mattum full-a velangi paakura maari..ellam oru kuthu madhippa purinjukka vendiyadhuthan!).But after watching the movies i understood that there is no big difference between Tamil and Malayalam.The malayalam movies that I saw are mainly mohan lals movies like kilukkam,bharatham,sanmasullaaruku samadhanam etc and few cult classics like elipathayam!

regarding those Lal movies...especially kilukkam...the comic sense of Lal and jagathy srikumar is just awesome.This man jagathy srikumar is non-stop riot..completely hilarious...I watched certain scenes of kilukkam over and over and enjoyed the scenes!
Bharatham is a completely different movie with some heavy melodrama...I havent seen such an "underplay" in any other movie....but I also felt "why did he act like this...any normal man would react more than this at that situation"at certain scenes..anyway thats typical lal style of being verrrrrrry subtle.remember he got national award for this movie!

elipathayam(by adoor gopalakrishnan) - I already knew the story and read abt "why the movie is soooo great?"...so while watching the movie Im not wondered by the scenes that are meant to be wondered!but onething,the acting is too slow at times...if u watch the movie u would understand!in a scene the protagonist will take 1 min for his hand to reach his "meesai" to dye that!is it deliberate or what?...anyway as they all call ...its a classic(edhukku vambu...nammalum accept pannidalam hehe).just kidding...u would love the concept if u dint read it before!

Its good to watch malayalam movies as they mostly dont make us to read subtitles...normally they are understandable!then the locations-heavenly!wherever u place the camera in kerala...thats a beauty(I meant the nature...romba yosikaadheenga).

Ah!

So it is u :)

I used to watch mallu movies during those days in DD. (when they used to telecast regional language films on saturdays. )

Ive always felt even as a kid, child, the impact malyalam movies have on us, is quite unusual, probably because its so much akin to our real life.

HAPPY BLOGGING :thumbsup:

Hi,
I,m also like you,I accidently got into malayalam movies,since then I,m completely hooked.My idea of what movies should be has undergone a seachange.I have probably watched most of the classics.and I learned malayalam by watching movies.I can even read malayalam which i learned by the titles of each movie.
You must watch padmarajan movies,HIs movies with mohanlal are classics like "namakkum Parkkam munthri thoppukul" and "thoovana thumbikal" which is the greatest love story I have seen on Indian films.It has also one of the greatest background scores
