Haven't seen it yet. I must confess I have seen very few Hariharan-MT films but I sense a committed writer-director relationship there..

P_R,
Gr8 to have u back!! Hope everything is fine with you! :-)
Sadhayam is certainly one of the best works of Sibi-Lal combo.. I was left speechless after watching the climax and that too in a mainstream movie.. I have recommended this film to some hubbers too..
Jinju,
On googling, I gather the director's name is Harikumar - Is this filmmaker any good? Or is only as good as the script.
I usually associate Hariharan with most MT scripts. Even if I think Bharathan as the best director to have worked with MT..
watch it if u can and share ur thoughts...Quote:

:) ya i was just posting that it's Harikumar...certainly a good director...has made only a handful of films, not ur everyday commercial filmmaker...the last one i watched of him was Swayamvarappanthal, a good film about the only brother of five sisters who gets married after a lot of bride hunting and ends up in a psychiatric facility, thanks to some revelations of his wife's past and the subsequent friction...it stars jayaram and samyukta varma...had gud performances by both...i liked the film though the forced humour/characters to commercialize the film harmed its strong content...but yes, the screenplay was by sreenivasan, so maybe one can call him a script-dependent one like sibi...Quote:

When the second girl comes into his house, life mimicking itself all over again - the absurdity of the repetition hits you hard. But (unlike the optimistic Krishnaswamy) Sathyanath thinks corruption is a foregone conclusion - one can only delay or morph its form. That is unnerving.

Yes, and that it's done in Mainstream filmmaking is in deed impressive.
A similar point is made in (without the sophistication of the milieu and Mohanlal's character/acting in this film) Aakrosh. but that wasn't a Mainstream film..
Yes, if I remember correctly it happened in Northern Kerala - Malabar side. That's what the media reported.Quote:

Later when Mam came to know that he is struggling to build the house, he offered Udyana Palakan to Harikumar [1996] and if my memory serves me right it was written by Lohithadas and Hari completed his house.

This one is for all Mohanlal's fans, esp Jinju!
Mohanlal is the latest star to join Twitter, all thanks to Big B's persuasion :)
