    Old Malayalam Movies....

    Hi guys,
    I just wanted to create a topic to discuss or review old malayalam movies. Old malayalam movies meaning before the 90's. There have been great movies from the 90s to now but everyone knows about them and is still discussing them. So I thought a topic for the older movies would be good.

    Mohanlal and Karthika movies....

    Does anyone remember the movies that Mohanlal and Karthika acted in...I think they did about 8-10 movies together I'm not sure exactly how much. But I have been trying to figure out the names of two movies with them in it.
    First movie is where Mohanlal plays Shalini's father and her mother had passed away. Karthika marries Mohanlal because she loves Shalini. In the end Shalini's character dies and Karthika's character dies after having the new baby.
    Second movie is where Mohanlal and Karthika have had their marriage arranged from childhood. But Mohanlal does not really want to marry her and he becomes an outcast of the family. Karthika's dad makes her marry a guy who dies after a week of marriage. Then her dad makes her marry Soman's character who is the father of two children. When Soman's character passes away the children's aunt takes them away and Karthika goes to live by herself somewhere. In the end Mohanlal and her meet again.

    If anyone knows what the names of these two movies are please reply.

    sathyan and his films

    Sathyan the fore-runner of star-syndrome in Malayalam cinema started his career as a teacher. He then joined the army became a police officer afterwards and finally landed up in the silver screen.
    His first film came out in 1950. He acted in 153 Malayalam films, and a few Tamil films. For more than a quarter century, he remained the very masculine, dark, hero, with rough manners and a shy smile that captivated the Malayali psyche.
    Neelakuyil, was a land mark in the history of Malayalam cinema. There were signs to save Malayalam film from the traditional grip of theatre and Tamil filmdom. He introduced the characteristic ethnic Malayali hero, humane on one hand, and will all the weakness of ordinary human being on the other. In Chemmen he essayed the role of Pazhani-a lonely man with a turbulent soul.

    Uthpal Dutt, on seeing Satyan’s performance in ANUBHAVANGAL PAALICHAKAL- remarked “in the face lined with the agony and threats of ordinary laborer …I could discern the great talent of Satyan portraying the inner chaos of an ordinary worker…”

    some interesting tidbits ......sathyan (of Chemmeen fame) was a native Tamil speaker, a fact known to few. The first malayalam film was produced by J.C. Daniel, a Tamilian. The ever popular Tamil actor MGR was a malayali and so is the popular villain Nambiar.
    [i][b]I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

    If all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

    In a world filled with hate we must still dare to hope

    The story is based on Thakazhi’s novel of the same name. The film recounts the harrowing experience of a conscientious worker who suspects his wife’s fidelity-when she works for her economic independence. He gets involved in a murder leaving his wife and children in lurch.
    The wife toils, with the understanding fellow worker a friend of her husband manage to run their livelihood. Hunted by police her husband is forced to change his identity and takes on another name. He is taken care of by another villager whose grown up daughter has an eye on him. Returning home he finds his wife carrying on with his friendly fellow worker and demoralized. He gives himself up to the police.
    This is the last film of Satyan.

    IN A TWO entirely contracting roles Satyan gives a sterling performance-one as a stern, unbending egoistic, dominating binding father, who only love to possess. The other character is that of a straight forward and warm hearted, defiant person.
