MR. BRAHMACHARI IS A FLOP- ANOTHER BELOW AVERAGE FILM FROM THE FAT ACTOR.

Mr Brahmachari
Cast: Mohanlal, Jagathy Sreekumar, Meena, Nedumudi Venu
Director: Thulasidas
This is the first time Mohanlal acts in a Thulasidas' film. Mr Brahmachari produced by Aroma Mani is said to be Mohanlal's first full-length comedy after two years. Mohanlal, desperately in need of a hit, has turned to comedy with this film. But the worst part is that the film has got nothing new. Each time a Mohanlal film is made, everybody (his fans) expect something scintillating. Compared to earlier films, there is no violence, no lewd scenes and filthy dialogues. The film is just average.
The story evolves around Puthenpurackkal Ananthan Thampy, a middle aged who has decided never to marry and is into body building. He thinks he will loose all his youthfulness and pleasing looks by marriage. But the fate has some other scenario for Ananthan Thampy, a staunch devotee of Hanuman. Ganga (Meena) and family comes to stay in neighborhood. Ananthan Thampy is nervous first and furious next. A highly humorous film in which Mohanlal returns to his best - comedy. It would be a treat to watch Mohanlal and Jagathy with their funny one-liners and rib tickling humour. His sister Nirmala (Bindu panikkar) and her husband is Venugopalan Thambi (Jagathy Sreekumar) are too happy about the decision, as they want their two daughters to inherit Thampi's properties. Thampi is a do-gooder who gets things done for the locals. He also owns a cable company.
Nirmala rents Thampi's outhouse to a teacher (K R Vijaya) and her three daughters. The eldest Ganga (Meena) soon becomes the favourite of everybody. One day a guy, Aravindan comes and pleads with Thampi for a job in his cable company. Thampi mistakes Aravindan to be Ganga's lover and promises him to help him marry her. But soon Aravindan goes away to join the army and Thampi and his men sabotage all marriage proposals of Ganga. But soon Thampi is forced by his parents and the teacher to marry Ganga. What happens when Aravindan comes back forms the climax of the film.
Mohanlal has nothing much to do, and he looks uncomfortable throughout. His scenes with Jagathy, Jagadhish and others are rehashes of earlier comedies. Meena is there for the song 'n' dance numbers. Almost all the scenes look uninteresting and predictable. The songs tuned by Mohan Sitara are just average.
Supporting cast has Nedumudy Venu, Kaviyoor Ponnamma, Jagathy Sreekumar, K RVijaya, Jagadheesh, Premkumar, Manoj KJayan, Kalpana and Sindhu Menon.The script is by J.Pallasery and the camera is by Venugopal. Mohan Sitara tunes the songs penned by Gireesh Puthencherry.

Hi Jibi,
wonder where did u get that info abt the collection of kun*ikoonam and meesa? meesa with 22crores??!! that's hard to believe! and kun*ikoonam was an equal hit as rp??!!! I thought rp was clearly the megahit of the year 2001 ..btw, we should consider the inflation into this calculation all the time!!

don't know this is wht i got tim .. its may be hard to believe for u but i believe it ..just bec when i was kerala this is the info i got from verious sources . the producer or distri doesn't have to lie man .. bec they have to pay 33-40 % tax on this man ... the producer subir-sudder and the distributors kalasangham [m.m hamsam],kass[savyar] and varnachitra owned by the producer stated it ..also i believe is the first time a mal movie crossed 1 core in several theatures .. 3 i know ..i in koyikode,1 in tvm and shenayis in eranakulam the dist gets 55 % and now its 55-60% of the collection from the theatures..
and ravanprabhu u know its distri by swargachitra they doesn't have to lie either .. arram thampuran by the same swragchitra had a bad welcome in the first 50 days and after tht t the movie emerged as a super hit .. out of the action pack narashimham got the best collection 60 days 12 cores i think.. i know tim rp was the most grosser in 2001 it didn't come close to mm
if u look theature wise we can most of the lal,mammokka,dileep movies are hit bec the theatures in big towns like tvm,erankulam get good collection above 20 lakhs per movie ..u can't times it with the # of theatures ..bec the towns vary

Fat actor Indeed ! When did we started to moan that actors who are fat or ugly or boyish aren't actors at all ? Can u or anybody here tell me a more brilliant performance by anyone except of mohanlal in Iruvar and Vanaprastham .Brahmachari may be a flop .But that is no reason to go hell bent on maligning one of the finest actors in India who was called the "Marlon Brando of India " by a great British Director.Now Meena What is ur answer?

You guys are right. Mohanlal is the best actor the world has ever produced. Even Tom hanks told this after seeing his performances. No other actor can even closely match his abilities. He will be back soon. Do not worry Mohanlal fans.

Sudheer and Rakesh Nair
I am not bluffing.I saw this in one of the canadian magazines where he quoted about mohanalal after watching one of mohanlal's movies in toronto film festival. Now I am missing th link, will let you know if I get to see the link again.

Bhramachari is likely to fetch atleast Rs 1 crore as profit, says a vellinaksatram report (for sceptics, here is the link: http://www.vellinakshatram.com/719/more2.html).
