At age of 30, Mammooty had won state award for second best actor in Ahimsa 
At age of 31, his act as a police officer in Yavanika perhaps changed the way Malayalam actors used to approach Police roles. He would then go onto play police roles of umpteen variations in years to come.
At age of 32, he plays the jealous captain Thomas in Padmarajan's Koodevide showcasing his ability to play roles with negative shades with aplomb. He also starts the Mammootty-kutty-petty trend in numerous other movies
At age of 33, Mammootty wins his first state award in Adiyozhukkukal. His portrayal of a middle aged man in the romance-Kanamarayathu is a personal favorite.
At age of 34, Mammootty has now almost refined his skills of bringing the audience to tears which we are fortunate to witness in so many more years to come. Balu Mahendra's Yathra is a heart-wrenching experience.
At age of 35, Mammootty's ability to play rough angry characters with perfection is further noticed in Avanazhi, Arappatta Kettiya Gramathil and Kariyila Kattu Pole
At age of 36, he becomes superstar in New Delhi , making a stunning comeback from a series of flops with a big blockbuster. In Thaniyavarthanam, when he says "Ivide thekku, randu veedappurama, vaadakakka" it becomes a frame that would stay with us forever.
At age of 37, Mammootty makes Sethurama Iyer a household name through Oru CBI Diarykurippu. From an angry Balram to an extremely calm and composed Iyer, Mammootty just changes himself as a character needs it.
At age of 38, Mammootty wins his first National award for Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha. This has to be one of the greatest performances ever in Malayalam. Period.
At age of 39, his portrayal of Soorya Narayana Iyer in Iyer the Great is a personal favorite. Kottayam Kunjachan might be one of his rare fine comedy performances those days, a genre he is not known for.
At age of 40, Mammootty stands tall to Rajnikanth and also walks away with few scenes in the hugely memorable portrayal of Devraj in Thalapathi.
At age of 41,Mammootty gives us a movie to remember forever when he tells Suresh Gopi- Arokke paranjaalum Gopaa nee mathram parayaruthu njan ente mone snehichitilla ennu" in Pappayude Swantham Appoos.He also gives Kauravar, Johny Walker and Soorya Manasam. Talk about versatility
At age of 42, he gets another state award for Valsalyam. Well we have already talked about his ability to bring us to tears. And Dhruvam still remains one of the biggest Mass movies in Malayalam Cinema.
At age of 43, he wins his second National award for Vidheyan and Ponthanmada. The beauty of this award is how at two extreme ends of a spectrum these characters lie. One so unassuming. Another despising, ruthless and authoritarian !
At age of 44, he gives The King. They use to say only Sivaji Ganesan perhaps come above Mammootty when it comes to dialogue delivery. This movie is all about his that skill!
At age of 45, his portrayal of Sanker Das in Azhakiya Ravanan is a personal favorite. This movie did not work well at Boxoffice. But perhaps everyone loved the movie and performance over time.
At age of 49, Mammootty wins his third National award for Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar.I talked already how he becomes the character he plays.When he says "Intha Pachakan Devathaye.." to Aishwaryain Kandu kondain Kandu Kondain in his inimitable style, it is one of my most visited scenes
At age of 53, Mammootty once again tears you when he leaves Kochundapri in the camp, waves him bye for one last time and begs the officer to give him a chance to take the boy back. He gets his 4th state award and was a strong contender for National award before Saif Ali Khan won
At age of 54, he reinvents himself in a way actors rarely do at this age in Rajamanikyam. How he switches gears from comic to serious to emotional so swiftly and the energy at that age - both still stuns me. Its also time to talk of his inimitable skill to get any dialect perfect
At age of 56, Mammootty portrays the mass character of Big B in a completely different way than he has done before. His last speech in Katha Parayumbol still makes me end me in tears even though I know the plot completely. Its perhaps things that only he can do.
At age of 58, Mammootty wins his fifth state award for Paleri Manikyam. He showed that he can turn ruthless and despising when the character demands just like he used to do years before.
At age of 59,he gives me one of his top 5 fav performances. He did comedy with such restraint in Pranchiyettan and portrays Pranchi in a way so distinct from his 400+ films.We now know about his skill to nail any dialect in any part of Kerala like he spoke it for his whole life
At age of 63, Mammootty doesn't give you anything that runs in the mind of the mysterious "CK Raghavan" in Munnariyippu. Maybe he has started doing that from Pranchiyettan, but in Munnariyippu, I notice that Mammooty is becoming more restrained and subtle in his performances.
At age of 64, he moves us again with a smile through his last interview speech in Pathemari. He doesn't really breakdown in his signature style. His subtle change in expressions instead touches you if you know anyone who had liven the life of an expat like Pallikkal Narayan.
At age of 66, Mammootty is superb when he passes through the emotions of father of a raped girl in The Great Father. This movie if had been handled more delicately with less slow motion walks in second half deserved to be lot better than it is today.
At age of 68,he plays father of a girl with celebral plassy with amazing brilliance in Peranbu.I still feel he should have won National Award. In Unda,when he says "Kshamicherada Uvve",you know an actor who is looking for variations to deliver a scene and create same old impact
