  Ha Soma..
  "Hentommo evidunnu kitti ente changathee ee 78 Lackhs. Ninte tholikkatti aparam thanne. Nanamilledo ingane vayil thonnunnathu vilichu koovan."
  
  Idenda Mashe... Your Vellinakshatram Calculation itself will get you there
  Balettan 26+ Lakh Tvm, 26+ LAkh Ekm & 25+ Lakh Kzki = 78 Lakh... I cannot give you the Vellinakshatram link as it has become pay now... go and buy the book now...

  Soma,
  Some quick corrections to your list
  
  2000 Onam - No Mohanlal movie released
  1995 Christmas - No Mohanlal movie released
  1995 Vishu - Sphadikam was the biggest hit
  1993 Vishu - Devasuram was the biggest hit
  1989 Christmas - No Mohanlal movie released
  1988 Vishu - Abkari was a mega flop...
  1987 Vishu - Adimagal Udamagal - Mohanlal was the hero and Mammooty a guest role...
  1987 Christmas - No Mohanlal movie released
  
  Let me review your claims in detail... will post more later on this topic...

  At least the basic requirement for nuetrality is needed to trust any channel... its like Mammootty heading an award committee that chooses Mammootty as the best actor... hope my point is now clear...

  1987 Onam - Thaniyavarthnam was not a superhit... just a hit.
  1987 Christmas - Nalkkavala was a flop that caused SAJ productions to go out of business
  
  You have cleverly tried to boost the numbers by including 2 movies per season... that too in the pre 1986 years where Lal was just a villian...
  
  Your 1984 hits both had Mohan lal in significant roles

  Ente Jome...
  
  Abkari was a flop??? Nalkkavala too????and In adimakal udamakal Lal was the hero???? Then my reply to u will be just like writing in water. So i am not trying for that. One intresting thing... as per u Balettan will not come under Onam release bcas it was released on 28th of Aug.Jome spadikam was not a vishu release....We are not counting the superhits. But we are looking for Lal movies tharshed Mammoo. U said maximum one or two. If we agree with ur comments also, there are lot again remains.
  
  In 80's Lal was mainly a supporting actor and he done lot of supporting roles in Mammoo movies like Athirathram, Vartha, Adimakal Udamakal, Adiyozhukkukal etc etc...

  i went backpacking in india for the first time in 1987 late till early 1988. i saw a film a day with my friend for 3 months. the second film we saw was 'naalkkavala' and am sure it was a hit. we loved it so much we saw it twice. i remember the theatres were full and all the ads were for naalkkavala and nadodikkaattu everywhere. at the time i had never even heard of either lal or mammootty but was blown away by their acting and became a big fan. there was and still room for two of them. read the chitrabhoomi special on mohanlal this week.

  Mr. Jom,
  
  If u dont know anything about the Malayalam Cinema. Dont write foolish things. Every one know that Mammmooty was the hero of Adimakal Udamakal. Nalkkaval was a super hit. Did lal stayed in ur house for a night and done something with ur .................
  
  
• From: Jom (@ 61.11.56.237) on: Wed Oct 1 01:44:11 EDT 2003
  
  OK OK, I confused Adimagal Udamagal with Angadikapurathu... but even in Adimagal Udamagal, both of them had an equal role... You dont have to test my knowledge of Malayalam cinema... I have been a ardent movie watcher for the past 18+ years... have watched movies in all south indian languages + Hindi and english... I can gauge your knowledge by the fact that you are telling Naalkavala is a superhit...
  
  Naalkavala was NOT a superhit. Just because it happened 15 years ago dont thing you can change facts...
  
  Soma was trying to prove that Abkaari was a super hit... that one takes the cake...

  JOm..
  
  yesterday u said,AU - Lal was the hero.
  Nalkkaval - A folp
  Abkari - a flop
  
  Today u said Nalkkavala was not a super hit and in AU both had equal role..
  
  SO Pals, tomorrow he will say
  
  I agre in AU Mammoo was the hero, but the film grossed becas of Lal.
  Nalkkaval and Abkari was superhits but that is not bcas of Mamoo but some other reason like director, cameraman etc etc....
  
  What is the problem with u man...

  nalavala was a flop,in adimakal udamakal after mamooty has arole only in the initial 45 minutes,after that lal controls the film.
