Normal viewer who didn't like Malik trying to explain others about the issues in the movie
Dileesh Pothan - " Are you the person who didnt like Malik ? Come- Let's go inside and talk "
Dileesh Pothan - " Come take this chair and sit. Now tell us why you did not like Malik?"
" I dont understand all these great reviews for this film. If you have seen Godfather, Subramaniapuram, Gangs of Vasseypur, Kammattipadam and Vada Chennai, what else is new in this movie?. Half of the characters are not even fully developed"
Dileesh Pothan - " See. You can ask Al Jazeera, Anupama Chopra, Bharadwaj Rangan, Guardian etc. People normally praise the movies that Fahadh do with me or Mahesh Narayanan."
" I wanted to also tell you that I have watched Vadakkan Veeragatha 5-10 times"
Dileesh Pothan to Fahadh Faasil - " I think he has understood everything. There is no point talking to him"
"Why dont you guys make a romantic movie or a comedy movie or an action movie for a change ? How long would you go with this realistic, serious tone movies?"
Fahadh Faasil - " Look at all my supporters outside Kerala. In my next movie, I am playing a character who sleeps for half of the time. But even then I am sure everyone will talk about my eyes"
This viewer looking outside and realizing Malik has also got good reviews.
Dileesh Pothan to all the supporters - " Bolo New Wave of Malayalam Cinema"
Al Jazeera, Film Companion, New Yorker, Guardian and other North Indian reviews - "... Zindabad"
This viewer leaving and realising it is better to watch Vadakkan Veeragadha for the 11th time.
While you are here, sharing few of my other 'story through pic' posts
Anirudh continues with what is easily the finest background score in recent memory as its time to see the villains from Kaithi back to what we call today the "Lokiverse". Even with all the big names around him, have to commend Arjun Das's small but effective performance here.
From asking Bejoy (Narain)- "What is the difference between you guys and Terrorists" to finally joining their squad as he wears the black mask and walks away from his wife's grave, Fahadh Faasil gave full justice to a wonderfully developer character.
As #Beast is coming in 2 weeks and two of Vijay's dance numbers are chartbusters, a look back at Vijay's career and his hit dance numbers through years.
There is a hit dance number almost every year in his 25+ years career !
This is few years after his debut. But this one was a smashing hit and aged well too. I wonder if Vijay and viewers would have thought he would keep giving hit dance numbers for another nearly 25 years
At age of 25 -"Meghamaai Vanthu Pogiren" (Thullatha Manavum Thullum)
Beautiful song. Beautifully choreographed. Still remember how the film was a big hit in Kerala too and perhaps was the start of craze for the actor in the state too
. #NedumudiVenu was an immensely versatile actor. To know his ability to play any role in a script, you just have to take Mohanlal movies as base. Its interesting how he has played just about any character revolving around Mohanlal as a hero. #Thread
In Bharatham - He is the jealous elder brother, an alcoholic who first couldn't digest the fact that his younger brother starts getting more fame and praise than his younger brother. He finally comes terms with it and gives his blessings before being met with an accident
In His Highness Abdulla, he is the character whom the hero has taken contract to kill but then slowly develops a special bond with. A special performance that won National Award
Mammootty turns 70.. Looking at the real special "Mammootty skills" that make him such a fantastic actor and listing my favorite performance in each category.... These are the reasons why I have kept adoring the actor more as years passed.
Not only does Mammootty brings in such difference to this portrayal than the 400+ movies he has done, he just becomes every inch of the Thrissur based business man speaking the dialect to astounding perfection.
Skill - To portray father on screen brilliantly
Favorite - Pappayude Swantham Appoos
Perhaps only second to Thilakan while portraying the warmth and affection of a father on screen, who can forget the line - "Aarokke paranjaalum Gopaa nee mathram parayaruthu .."
Prithviraj's biggest asset is that you can't predict what he's upto next. He could switch between genres or surprise you handling any field of Cinema. He could be hero, villain or second fiddle
At age of 20, in his debut year, he may be raw and little unpolished. But nevertheless he shows range straight away, acting in a romance like Nandanam and action movie like Stop Violence
At age of 23, Prithviraj nails the sauve and soft-spoken villain in Kana Kandein, an act that makes me a fan for the first time. Debuting in Tamil, the actor looked damn confident in each frame of the movie.
I have to admit I have become a bigger fan of @mammukka recently than I used to be before. What amazes me is his consistency as a performer across these 35-40 years and an undying passion to keep improvising
How Mammootty found ways to remain consistent over years-A long #Thread
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.
