Malayalam Cinema: The year so far
July 20, 2006
It has been a reasonably good year. Mindless, crass fare that succeeded at
the box office in 2005 made way for good, realistic films that succeeded this year. 2006, so far, has belonged to one of the greatest actors in Malayalam cinema, Mohanlal. All three of his films have been commendable, and all have tasted success.
1: Tanmatra:
One of the best films to have been released in recent times. Blessey, who
directed Kazhcha last year, has demonstrated that his first critical and
commercial success was not a flash in the pan. Tanmatra is even better, and
definitely a landmark in Mohanlal's career.
As Ramesan Nair, a middle-class employee in the government secretariat
afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, Mohanlal gives us a scintillating
performance, his best after Vaanaprastham. It may, in all probability, win
him another National Award!
