I just watched the film Thaniyavarthanam....What a film...I just can't get words to describe it.I think it is one of the most reallistic film ever made in Malayualam.What you says?

  Well..hari..i get ur point.....While watching some of Lal's movies ..even i feel tht( to quote u )" hes not there" (i think thts the best way to describe it..:) )..But cant agree with u in one thing..the movies u chose...maybe in HHA..to an extent u r right...but kaalapani was one of his brilliant performances...but yes...ive felt the same in many of his other movies....especially PRINCE.....(cant remember any other movies..)

  well anu 1 thing i must say is that i consider lal to be the most gifted artiste in the country.but honestly i am yet to graduate from being an admirer of his talents to a fan.so i guess i still am within the rights of calling a spade a spade.honestly i didnot think of kaalpaani as a great film.i admire the effort behind the venture,but just cudnt connect with wot was being shown on the screen.and ditto with lal's performance in the film.

  wot makes most of lal's performance a treat to watch is his ability to find a sense of calm in every character he plays.even a big-mouthed character like cp nair was executed with that sense of calm and laziness.its that ability of his which makes him an actor who can easily maneuover a variety of roles and peroform them with elan.and hence u do occasionally get the kind of feeling of disinterest in his performances.even brando approached a character that way."streetcar named desire"-enna cinemayile stanley kowalski oru brutual character aayrunnu.but brando found a sense of calm within even that character.that gave rise to new mechanics within the character and elevated it to better heights.

  on the other hand if u look at most of mammo's performances u wud notice that he performs them with a threshold level of intensity.even a balan mash had a sense of confidence abt him which he cudnt conceal.but athum oru kazhivu thanne alle??
  amaram or veeragaatha pole ulla characters india-yille oru nadanum athreyum grace-odu koodi handle cheyyan saadhikkilla.the thing is tomorrow if i want somebody to play "yasser arafaat" i cant think of anybody but mammo,but if i want somebody to play a simple photographer on the gaza lal wud be my first choice.preferences r natural but no discerning cinema viewer can ever admire any of these actors by running down the other one.
