Dear Friends

Its high time Now to see all the COMPARISONS ALL TOGETHER.But Just think how did all this COMPARISONS
ARISE!For Me It is due to the Condition of the Industry.But there were few other Comparisons to.
Lets See a few FAMOUS ONES

MAMMOTTY & MOHANLAL

Guys We all Know that they R still the Present and ONLY ACTING SUPERSTARS along with KAMALHAASAN
in India.But why do we COMPARE THEM.Easy!!!Because both R From the same Language and both act
extremely great.But Can I ask a Question? Does that mean that a Mohanlal fan will never watch
Mammotty Movies.I AM A DIE-HARD MOHANLAL FAN (AT PRESENT ALSO) BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT I DON'T
WATCH MAMMOTTY MOVIES.I enjoy "Oru CBI Dairy Kuruppu" as "Raajavinte Makhan".Same for Kireedom,
Thaniyavarthanam etc etc.There are few roles which each of them can't do like the other. 4 Eg
We don't expect MOHANLAL to do "THE KING" in the same Passion as MAMMOTTY. Same 4 MAMMOTTY in
Vandanam,Naadodikaatu etc.But I think there is no single which both can't succeed.So look!Here
R the Frictions 4 a Comparison.But I have never heard or seen both of them had a fight or any
bad talk in the sets or else.My neighbour who is the Production in Charge of Antony Perumbavoor
Movies told that when MAMMOTTY came to do a Guest Role in Narasimham, Shaji Kailas & Lal told him
to arrange an extra bed in Lal's Room.See thats the case of Friendship they have.We can say that
Mammotty can do this which Mohanlal can't and VICE-CERSA, But at the end We all together will
say that BOTH WERE SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY.See thats the end of that Comparison.

About their Personal Life like Affairs, Family Problems, Pickle Business etc
WE R NO ONE TO DISCUSS. If anyone wants to then I ADVISE THEM TO FIRST LOOK THEIR LIFES.
At least we R Lucky that they didn't Model 4 everything from "Underwears" to "Kallu" like
the superstars in the NORTH.


TODAYS NEWCOMERS V/S MAMMOTTY & MOHANLAL

Dileep,Jayasurya,Prithviraj,Jishnu ETC ETC.. Only one Question How Many of them will be remembered
from 10 years from now.Look How many of Us do Remember an actor called Vincent.Same the case.Look
we still watch movies of Mohanlal & Mammotty in Theaters & TVs because the TRUTH IS THAT "AN
ACTOR IS YET TO TAKE BIRTH IN THE INDUSTRY TO TAKE OVER THE THRONES OF MOHANLAL & MAMMOTTY".
We see Dileep Movies but We can't Point out any of his Performance in any of his movies yet to
say atleast MEMORABLE.He has been in the Industry 4 at least 9-10 yrs.By then Mohanlal,Mammotty,
Suresh Gopi,Jayaram made an Impact.See 4 Eg Take THE KING Again and think how these guys perform.
Its SIMPLY HORRIBLE.How many of the 4 people in 4 THE PEOPLE Will make an impact.Look Anil Nath (UDAYAM),
He is trying those roles of his Predecessors but simply UNSUCCESSFUL.He is trying to imitate JAYAN who was
an actor who had an individual style.So he is remembered.

Just See the Phase in all Industry.Only the better can substitute his predecessors. Have we ever
told that Prem Nazir was better actor than Mohanlal.No!Because we know that.So they substituted
them.Amitabh Bachan was a superstar but a normal actor,So SHAH RUKH substituted him.In Tamil
Shivaji,MGR were substituted by Kamal Haasan.But see Hrithik Roshan made an impact which could
have kicked out any actor without calibre.But Roshan Jr wasn't no where comparing to SRK so SRK
still rules.Vivek Oberoi has good acting skills,So he is there.Big B has still the talent which
no other newcomers have So he is there.

I am not saying these 4 actors but also actresses.Navya,Kavya,Meera,Bhavana,Nithya etc may be there
but none of them have the calibre of their predecessors.See 4 eg How many of them can do the
Nagavalli in Mani...,Madhavi's Seductive role in Oru Vadakkan..and the ill mother's role in
Aakashadoothu.None of them can.But What they R doing in the Industry!Easy.The Superstars R bit
old to play the Teen Love stories so such roles go to Young actors and Young Actressese gets their
chances.Even Manju wasn't as great as Shobhana,Geetha,Seema,Karthika,Urvashi,Madhavi etc

Only thing we can say is that these superstars R OLD & FAT.Look If they get good script they can
make it successful by their acting.We have no right to say that "Hey MAN! U R OLD.WE DON'T NEED U".
The Maximum We can say is "ACT UPON UR AGE".These actors went down due to bad scripts.Once Renjith
told that "Even though Thandavam,Praja,Onnaman were bad movies,We can't say that Mohanlal is bad in it.
Due to bad scripts,His Performace is also lowered which makes Us feel Horrible.Thats not his Problem
but the problem of the script.Only thing we can criticise the actor is 4 choosing such movies".
But I am sure that none of these newcomers can't survive when they reach the age of the present
superstars.Why waiting then,their Countdown has already begun.

About DILEEP V/S MOHANLAL, All I can say is that DILEEP IS GOOD ONLY IN "JOKER"(NOT THE MOVIE)
ROLES.I ask!Why doesn't he act in a serious roles?Why he can't do a movie without Salimkumar or
Harishree Ashokan?Just look at his track,ALL HIS ROLES (EVEN THE SERIOUS ONES) HAD A HUGE SHADES
OF COMEDY.NO PUCCA SERIOUS ROLES.If he says that he is not getting one then ask him to produce one
with the script of MT or Lohi(Serious ones).He doesn't have the GUTS to make one.Because whenever
he tries one like Sadhanandante Samayam,Gramaphone,Mizhirandilum,Suthradharan,Pattanathil Sundaran,
THE RESULT IS FLOP!!!.If U guys R saying that he is trying to Imitate Mohanlal,THERE IS NO DOUBT.
Because During the MIMICRY DAYS, He was the Prime Artist to IMITATE MOHANLAL.But the only thing is
that he was half successful in imitating Mohanlal in comedy roles (those early Priyadarshan roles
not Sathyan's Roles)but least successful in other of Lal's talents ESPECIALLY The Serious Roles.
Actually Renjith made the Dileep's role With Lal in mind but WAS BOOED DOWN BY THE AUDIENCE.
PRITHVIRAJ Was also one of the victims 4 the same case Like CHAKRAM & VELLITHIRA which were flops.

So that the track is DILEEP CAN NEVER BECOME A MOHANLAL IN HIS STATUS OF SUPERSTARDOM OF ACTING.
MOHANLAL & MAMMOTTY!!THEY R SIMPLY A CLASS.The reason 4 the failures of Hariharanpilla & Vamanapuram
is due to the KOMALI ROLES given to Lal which is too low to his standard.If It was done by Dileep,
Jayasurya who knows the MOVIE MAY BECOME A HIT.As far as Dileep's on & off set behaviour,HE IS
SIMPLY ARROGANT AND NEVER RESPECTS HIS JUNIOR ARTIST(EXCEPT THOSE NEWCOMER ACTRESSES).He went on
to order JOSHI saying that he needed Udaykrishna-Sibi K Thomas to write the script.This was the
case 4 JAYARAJ During Thilakam.Both Directors were in a bad state TO SAY "NO".If someone thinks that
PRIYADARSHAN has left LAL & Went to DILEEP, ITS A MERE JOKE.Its a love story of Young Guys So he went
to DILEEP.LAL & PRIYAN are not fools to make films of such kind with themselves at this age.But the
Latest News is Priyan is also facing problems during the sets due to Dileep's IMPUNCTUALITY.He is now
thinking of an Action Script with LAL & MUKESH IN MIND.


INDUSTRY'S CONDITIONS

Once we had the talents of Padmarajan,Bharathan,Sibi Malayil,Lohitadas,Joshi,Priyadarshan,Jayaraj,
Hariharan,Sidhique,Lal,Viji Thampy,MT,Dennis Joseph,K Madhu,S N Swamy,Shibhu Chakravarthy,Sathyan
Anthicaud,Srinivasan,Balachandran Menon,K G George,Fazil,Kamal,Venu Nagavalli,I V Sasi, Cherian
Kalpakavaadi,Renjith,Shaji Kailas,Renji Panicker,Kallor Dennis,T Damodaran etc etc

THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF THE MALAYALAM INDUSTRY

NOW THE PRESENT STATE!

We have the Helplessness to watch KERALA HOUSE,THENKASHI,MEESHA,KUNJI,CID etc etc.In which except
KERALA all R Hits.The Problem of these hits is that We can't watch it even once or twice.When these
movies come in the TVs,We will browse the channel to watch yhe OLD MOVIES.Can we compare todays
Writers like SIBI,RAFI,UDAYAKRISHNA,MECARTIN,BENNY P NARAYAMPALAM(Whatever it is),Ranjen Pramod
(Only For Meeshamadhavan) etc & Directors like Lal Jose,Vinayan,Thaha,Sasi Shankar,Akbar Jose,
Jose Thomas,Nissar with the old Greats.

Now WE R Just watching a Movie NOT Understanding or Enjoying It.Now the Malayalam Industry
has changed.Before Film Makers were running the Industry with a slogan "GOOD MOVIES IN THE INDUSTRY"
but now it is with the Slogan "SURVIVNG IN THE INDUSTRY".

See 4 Eg Director Thaha Who happened to be the Creator of Ee Parakkum Thalika,Kerala House Udan
Vilpanekku told that he had to earn so he makes such movies.Or he cannot Survive.But it is incredible
to know that He was the Creator of the RUNAWAY HIT "MOOKHILYA RAAJYATHU".One of the Comedy Movies
which I enjoyed the Most.That Director had to reduce his Standard to Survive.Before he cant make
Parakkum Thalika & Kerala House, because both R sure to be rejected.SO HE WAS QUIET UNKNOWN.
Movies R MOOKHILYA RAAJYATHU Have Standard so it became a hit.He cant repeat such standard so he
was OUT.Now Malayalam Industry has Dileep & Jayasurya, So HE IS Back.

Why Only Movies!!Directors!!Actors!! What about Today's Songs?Its still hard to hear the great
melodious numbers which will last long.For Eg - Songs in HH Abdullah,Njan Gandharvan,Aranyakam,
Kshanakathu,Thenum Vayambum etc.Nowadays Directors R cocentrating on Adipoli Nos like
Lajjavathiye,Karupinazhaku,Chingamaasam,Rakshasi etc etc for Quick Recognisation.They R creating
scenes for such movies.TELL ME!WHY DO WE NEED KARUPINAZHAKU 4 THE MOVIE SWAPNAKOODU!!Nothing!
Its 4 recogisation.Same 4 Lajjavathiye in 4 the People.No One would have even went to the theatre
if there wasn't Lajjavathiye.I say THE MOVIE WASN'T GOOD.ITS AN AVERAGE ONE.Now see everyone will
keep this trend.We might buy or record such songs but AFTER ONE MONTH,The Song is out.Now let me
ask,Who all R hearing "Rakshasi" & "Chingamaasam" now like when it was released.What about
KARUPINAZHAKU? Do We remember it as "Otta Kambi Mathram" of "Thenum Vayumbum" which was 2 decades
old.

THIS IS THE PRESENT SITUATION OF MALAYALAM INDUSTRY IN MY VIEW.

PLEASE MESS UR OPINIONS AND I REQUEST ALL OF THEM TO GIVE US SERIOUS OPINIONS,NOT THOSE
SPACE WASTING FOUL MESSAGES.

So KADHALAN,REGHU,EVANO ORUVAN ETC ETC GET READY!!
