firstly i read this article with very big excpectations . but went bluff in the half way .the first few things he mentioned were i agree/partially agree with him .Some of his comments blew me off guys

read this
http://www.thatsmalayalam.com/feedback/052003gopakumar.html

some of the comments like thandavam collected more than kungikoonan were he blewed me . His complains about gossips aganist lal in manorama .. when i saw where they devoted 3-4 pages of their sree sunday edition about lals 25th year in cinema was like i can't explain ..

i can't explain why this guy wrote this article . at the end of his article or complaint i found out why he wrote this . he is another blind lal fan .. i think he is worse than some of them i seen . i think this guy never gives credits for other actors.

nb . This is not an article by a writer ..this is by a fan ..he choosed thatsmalayalam . that posts the same gossips aganist lal. may be he was new to the site .

only suggestion to him:
don't be a blind fan !

i think this will spark this forum

  >> Lal fans never compare dileep to mohan lal. The people who are comparing dileep to mohan lal are dileep fans.
  
  Ok..V, but from my experience with this forum, what I have seen is it is always the supportes of Lal who try to bring up Dileep in all sorts of discussions regarding Lal and start saying somethjing like 'Mohanlal acted in so and so roles...komaly Dileep can do only koprayams...' and something like that.

  Jibi i didn't mention u. In this forumhub, there are lots of comparision going on with dileep and lal just beacuse dileep imitate lal. There are people also saying dileep is the best and he is going to be the next superstar (some internet sites already claiming he is the only superstar), but what can dileep do?? thats where his limit come from. Dileep = koprayams, thats it, thats all he can do.
  
  Jibi so are u saying, just cos sathyan and sreeni we can watch naadodi kattu again and again?? Are you saying that lal is not the reason for that movie to watch again and again?? Sathyan sreeni team did some other movies without lal. How many of them can u watch twice?? Dileep can act in a padmarajan movies or a bharathan movie, but he can only do up to his limit, which is again komalitharam, and u wouldn't be able to watch it for the second time. Lohitha Das directed Joker, with the joker of kerala, again he came out with soothradharan with the joker. What happend??? Joker can be only a joker, it doesn't matter who is the director, who doing the script, dileep can only do the fake comali face expressions. There isn't any single film that you can say wow dileep, u r incredible.
  
  Mr.brahmachari, yea there isn't much to talk abt, lals role could be done by any other actors. There are other poli movies like onnaman, chathurangam, thandavam from lal, but he had the screen presense, and people could say nice acting, or there were some scenes that shows mohan lal is the only one could do that scene.
  
  
  MFF, i see what you are saying, but I only mention dileep if there a previous post comparing dileep to lal.

  i am not saying tht vince .. i am saying if good script and direction then it will produce a good movie ..yes acting is one part in a success of the movie ..but its not the only part ..
  
  i find criticisms abt dileep in this way only from lal fans .. this thread abt a parathi even in tht he is going forward to complain abt others ..not to concentrate on wht he is talking abt ..
  
  anyway he pulls much crowd as incredible actors .. and he is very popular now .. nobody did it ..even suresh gopi,jayaram or anyone ..so i think people sees something in ur joker

  Well, it sounds like an ardent fans grievance.
  
  There is no point in complaining about the media’s outlook, “Gossips” are essential part of the media, and it is going to stay there. You should be choosy, that’s it. No doubt it is the time of Dileep now, he has well succeeded in attracting people to theaters from the grip of “shit” serials and revamped the dying Malayalam film industry. It is understandable why the media is supporting Dileep, he is the hot property now. He has taken advantage from films portraying stereotype roles of Lal, which is evident from the great success of a “sub-standard” film like “Meesa Madhavan”.
  
  I do not understand how this going to demoralize an actor like Mohanlal. What for he should be worried? Majority of the Keralites idolize this actor. All these years he has proven worth an actor. People’s expectation on him is very high, and anything below that will be considered as “flop” by the media, that is what I understand. I have watched KCM, it is an average movie, complaints about the language is unjustifiable, the story is happening in Malabar, and what u expect, a Travancore style accent?? Lal and Priyan failed to do anything differently. This is why the dip in collections. Good story selection, and a bit of “jogging” can bring Lal back to the track. You can never write-off this versatile actor. Personally, I am looking for some serious roles from Lal.
  
  It is not the media who is making a superstar, it is the people. Media can only support them. Lal cannot expect the support a new comer gets from the media. He has to come up with his performance. wait and see.

  Guys, i indeed missed out some thing here coz of the weekend.
  
  Hey m-f-f, i was just kidding man, u took it so seriously. sorry for that.
  
  And jibi, i partially agree with what u r attempting. I guess Dileep has been active in the industry for more than 6 years (or may be more than that - not sure).
  
  Do you mean he hasn't able to find a worthwhile scriptwriter to do one reasonabe good work till now?
  
  That is too much a time for a "superstar" or "janapriya nayakan" or whatever.
  
  And Reji, i have no reasons to disagree with you!

  Jibi, u said "anyway he pulls much crowd as incredible actors .. and he is very popular now .. nobody did it ..even suresh gopi,jayaram or anyone ..so i think people sees something in ur joker"
  
  U r righto. Yes they (people) do. They even found something in Shakeela. Even her movies attracted the so called "crowd".
  
  Acting wise, Dileep is nowhere near Jayaram. In comedy scenes Jayaram has his own style as he hadn't attempted to ape any actors. U can watch Jayaram's movies like Mazhavilkavadi, Meleparambi, etc as many times as you watch a T.P.Balagopalan MA, Sanmanasu, etc.
  
  As u rightly said, script made a big difference in those movies. But it is not script alone, but also the sheer strength of their performances.
  
  Jayaram has also proved his mettle even in emotional scenes in Sneham, Sesham and all. What is the case of Dileep, sir?
  
  But, one thing i should accept, Dileep is good in doing slap stick comedy coz of his mimicry background. And has lot of luck too.
  
  I also accept that Lal did several "comalitharam" movies like Dileep. But lal also did several other sort of roles, didn't he?
  
  Since Dileep has the "crowd" support, i think it is the best time for him to go for variety. what say?
