You're of course referring to Bala's Nanda. Not a like-for-like comparison, but I agree with the sentiment (emotional impact of Thaniya is far greater).

The scene in nandha looked contrived - it just didnt suit the movie at all and looked completely out of place while that was not the case in Thaniyavarthanam.Quote:

Thanks Murali Sir. Naan podhuva ivlo neeLama eludha maaten(aama idhuve neeLam thaan).I have searched for this movie for a long time after kamal mentioned about it in dasa audio release.So andha searchkagavadhu oru naalu line eludhalamnu.. hehe
Two scenes apart from climaxes that really had a great impact are
The letter that the girl writes to her sister in law before marriage. I dint expect it to be that way . I expected something related to balan mash and bla bla stuff. But she writes that she has the "right" to ask for mercy even if she undergoes hard times when she was in her home..but after marriage she could be deprived of that right and to whom she could turn with "urimai" :clap:
We get to understand what she means as the right to mercy in the climax when balan mash receives mercy even without being asked for.
The other scene where after Gopinathan leaves the house and the home was just left with Older people and balan mash, Thilakan turns back and asks his sister and mom
"we are left with none..isnt it?"
And the important dream sequence was done beautifully.
The latest Mammootty starrer Best Actor is getting very good reviews. Everyone who has seen is of the opinion that it is a good family entertainer. Planning to go!

Saw Best Actor today. A nice movie.
Detailing the efforts of a school teacher who is willing to go to any length to become an actor, the story is probably inspired from Mammootty's own life [Not sure how many people here are aware of the fact that Mammootty is a lawyer by profession who was practising in the courts of a small town called Manjeri in Northern Kerala but his passion was acting and he did realise his ambition].
The middle aged school teacher in a village school with a wife and kid is always dreaming of achieving it big in cinema, who is an object of ridicule for his colleagues. He suffers insults in his pursuit which makes him more determined. He goes and meets a friend who is into cinema and a comment there makes him take a decision. That coming as an interval punch leads to an interesting second half and a nice twist in the climax makes it absorbing.
Mammootty gives out a fine performance in both the halfs [this phrase may sound odd but don't want to be a spoiler for people who would be watching] who is ably supported by [Siddique] Lal, Nedumudi and Salimkumar.
The point that impressed me was this movie is directed by a debutant Martin Prakkat but he shows that the craft of cinema is safe in his hands. Overall a family entertainer.
Regards
Finally watched Thaniyavarthanam
Thanks to compli for the repeated recommendations.

Well written post Vivs.
I disagree about calling the grandmother 'apathetic'. It is a subtle and extremely well written role.
