Dear Friends

For a past few years,We have been comparing who is better? Mammotty or Mohanlal.
But the result is always 50-50.But for change I am writing this thread just because
for last 25 years,Both of them have something common with a difference.One thing
is that both of them had a team which led to many successful movies.Even though
teams are different for each,these teams played a big role in their success and all these
teams formed in the same time for both of them.Lets just have a look in their common links.

Screen Pairs

Mammotty in his late 80's had two pairs.Seema & Suhasini.Later Sumalatha & Geetha joined
the group.Same for Mohanlal.He also had 4 pairs.But all were in the same time (80's).They
were Karthika,Shobhana,Urvashi & Revathi.Another common thing is that No Director has
directed all the four pairs of both actors in their career.I V Sasi,Joshi,Priyadarshan &
Sibi Malayil were the closest with 3 Pairs each.

Top Commercial Team

Mammotty's best commercial team was with Joshi alone or Joshi-Dennis Joseph.
For Mohanlal it was Priyadarshan alone or Priyadarshan-Srinivasan.

Director's Team

Mammotty had Bharathan in his kitty while Mohanlal had Padmarajan.

Janapriya Team

Mammotty-I V Sasi-T Damodaran was a team which people thinks the best
Mammotty had in his career.For Mohanlal it is a draw between Sibi Malayil-
Lohitadas & Sathyan Anthikad-Srinivasan.

Artistic Pair

Adoor's favourite is Mammotty while Shaji N Karun's favourite is Mohanlal.
Both of them are the usual directors from India whose movies are screened in
International Festivals.

Writer's Pair

Mammotty has T Damodaran & Dennis Joseph while Lal had Lohitadas,Srinivasan &
Renjith.

OTHER TEAMS formed for Mammotty were with K Madhu-S N Swamy,Joemon & P G
Vishwambharan.Mohanlal had Kamal,Fazil & Thampy Kannamthanam.

HARIHARAN-MT Team played a big role in both the careers with "Oru Vadakkan
Veeragadha" for Mammotty and "Panchagni" & Amruthangamaya" for Mohanlal.

Both of their Biggest Hits were directed by SHAJI KAILAS."THE KING" &
"NARASIMHAM".Each were written by the highest paid writers of that time.
RENJI PANICKAR and RENJITH respectively.

Both of them won National Awards Twice in a Similar Manner.When Mammotty won
for "ORU VADAKKAN VEERAGADHA", Lal won the Next Year for "BHARATHAM".Same when
"AMBEDKAR" won Mammotty,Next Year Lal won for "VAANAPRASTHAM".

THe Biggest Turning Point in their career came through two action movies.
"New Delhi" helped Mammotty to retrieve his career and "Raajvinte Makhan"
brought Lal to Superstardom .

Mammotty acted as himself in Mohanlal's "No 20 Madras Mail".Lal also acted
as himself in Mammotty's "Manu Uncle".The common thing in both of these movies
are that they are written by Dennis Joseph.

IV SASI - M T VASUDEVAN NAIR/T DAMODARAN has made most of the Mammotty-Mohanlal
Films.

The thing I would like to say is that when one forms a team in a specific category,The
other would have formed from that category in the sam
