A hatrick for Mohanlal
The latest is Vadakumnathan, a film that was ready a year ago but was not released till now because of the subject: Nobody expected a serious film about a Sanskrit professor --who runs away to the Himalayas -- to be appreciated by today's multiplex audience.
The opening the film received has astounded many. It seems women in Kerala are in love with the nutty Sanskrit professor!
After the actor started doing larger-than-life roles in many a forgettable film, women audiences had abandoned him. Now, he is back with a bang, as an ordinary man in reel life.
