Pick randomly any movie that appeared between 85 & 90 - chances are high that you'll get a good one 7 out of 10 times :-)

P_R and k-g,
Have not seen kaliyattam but personally like Omkara more than Maqbool.Maybe becos I saw both with a 1 year gap with Omkara being recent.So becomes a slightly unfair comparison.

Maybe if I see both back to back,my opinion might change.

But Devgan was good in Om.....,kareena was not bad at all and so with Saif.

Maqbool all the way. Unsullied by the need to present stars in a flattering, acting-chops showing manner.
Irffan Khan vs Devgan Plus Saif Plus Oberoi - No contest in favour of the former.

Really, although Devgan and Saif and even Oberoi did decently, as did Bipasha(Kareena had nothing much to do), I feel, he should have had Irfan, and perhaps Manoj Bajpai, with Ranvir Shorey fitted in somewhere( a bit stretch for him to be Oberoi's role but I think he would have managed fine).

Omkara, I consider a partial sell-out to the market by Bharadwajar.
Maqbool was completely on his own terms. Blue Umbrella rates over Omkara for me.

Must admit it may also be because I like Macbeth more than Othello.

Flau,
Deepak Dobriyal as Rajju shouldn't be discounted. One of the best acted characters in recent times..

Oh boy, has anyone watched the film Kerala Cafe?. This movie left me speechless. I don't know if I can go back to watching average movies anymore after seeing this...[/b]

Isn't that the one with 9 or 10 stories? Heard a lot of positive reviews about it. Managed to only watch the Prithviraj episode...kinda dull at the beginning but it made sense at the end. Have to watch the rest of the stories, though.

Kinda boring actually.

But Mohanlal's performance was excellent.
Effortless.

Was trying to get some 80/90s MoserBaer DVDs. Picked up this and kaLiyattam.

Try to watch it completely macha, in case you haven't done yet. The movie towards the climax is really brilliant IMO, and will most probably grow upon you to change that current opinion. Do watch. :)

I will suggest a few which comes to mind

Kariyila kaatu pole: Padmarajan directed flick starring mohanlal and mamooty..a bit slow for today's generation

Yavanika: Masterpiece -starring bharath gopi and mammoty directed by k.g george. ..again, a bit slow

Witness: A very good thriller starring jayaram

Mukham: slow-passable flick starring mohanlal

Utharam: Top class, intelligent suspense thriller starring mammooty..

The truth: fast paced commercial thriller starring mammootyy

kaanathaaya penkutti

charithram

Let me say that Karriyilakattu pole is a classic work from the great padmarajan. It can clearly be seen that this served as an inspiration for another great movie in Utharam.Both details a story of a victim seen and understood through the eyes of an investigator.

Also Mukham in the list is a classic as well.Superbly realistic. Being slow is another matter. They are class works which neds to be enjoyed with a little bit of patince.

Yavanika also a great work.

Witness and Charitram are also good detective thrillers.
