Needless to say M.T.Vasudevan Nair has been a kingpin in the circle of Malayalam Films. The great Jnanapith Award winner has contributed tremendously to the nature and decency of malayalam films.
As is well known all films written by M.T are also Co-cirected by M.T for most of the part.

Some of the unforgettables in Malayalam films are by M.T sir. Though the touch of his communist sense pops up in between, they were never thrust upon the audience and never changed the flow of the story. India is yet to see a great screen script writer as him

The historical films written by him were roaring successes - Namely
Vaishaali, Oru Vadakkan veera Gadha and Perunthachan.

But his other films were among the best mades in India.

I am putting a list of them here.

Aaranyakam - the best
Sukrutham
Utharam
Panchagni
Asuravithu
Kadavu (directed by MT)

Post your opinions on M.T sir's contribution and the stinking aristocracy of the Univ. of Kerala in denying him the Doctorate.

  Lohitadas should be best script writer in the malayalam cinema.
  
  Biju menon is a good actor. Had not for his 'muscle pidutham' in earlier movies he would have become Malayalam's amoolya nidhi.

  Raghu you are a malayali
  To all analysts os singers out there,
  i would like like to point out on one thing...
  i dunno how u can assess "versatility" of a singer like how u did... first let me come to ur own pt. abt. the qualities of a singer....
  1. melody
  2. range
  3. speed
  4. vibrations & oscillations
  5. depth
  6. softness
  7. versatality
  u say these r the qualities of a "really good" singer...fine, but u had a damn bad shot at who really has all these qualities.
  if a man can render over 35000 songs and is still goin strong it simply means that he can render any kinda song with equal aplomb and thts exactly why he has been the most sought after singer over the last two decades in the whole of south india...
  yeah... i'm talkin abt the "one 'n' only" PJ who has simply ruled the roost as far as playback singing goes...
  can any voice in india range from songs like "dhorakuna"(classic shankarabaranam) to "namma singaari sarakku" and frm hi-pitched "raathiri nerathil"(anjali) to low ones like"malare mounamaa"...fast beats such as "ey.. unnai thaane" to lilting melodies as "nilaave vaa" all i've talked abt is a part of the unbelievable range of numbers rendered by the man.
  lemme now give u an example each for the above mentioned qualities(there can be thousands given but tiz neither necessary nor practicable)..
  1.melody-loadcartz of 'em...('neway) mandram vandha
  2.range"alias"PJ-adimai penn to april maadhathil(to put it in a nutshell)
  3.speed-kaala kaalamaaga(punnagai mannan),vela vela (avvai shanmugi) and lots more
  4.vibrations and oscillations-shankara nadhasarirapara(shankarabharanam) etc.
  5.depth-ketten (amarkalam), one among many..
  6.softness-enna satham indha neram(especially in the charanams),one of his hundreds of " soft" melodies...
  7.versatility-first lemme correct ur defn. of versatility...
  >>7 versatality (ability to shine in film music, classical, devotional, semi -classical light music, festive music etc..) >>
  versatility for a singer refers to his capability
  to effectively render all kinda songs really well... alternatively one can define versatility as "P.JAYACHANDRAN"...
  even if ur defn. holds good PJ is second to none dho hez not trained in carnatic music...
  kJy is a good singer alrite , hez sung some soul-stirring numbers for IR and ARR in tamil and lotz like 'em in malayalam... but he is nowhere when compared to PJ...
  SPB's voice is some what similar to PJ's but many feel that PJ had the "gandharvam" and depth in his voice that won him preference over SPB's (much much and much)feminine timbre...(and not "luck")
  so plz make a sensible analysis hereafter...(especially to "Analyzer")
  regards,
  a hard-core PJfan
