  THE ART OF MALAYALAM MOVIES ARE REMARKABLE, HOPE THEY WONT VANISH WITH THE PRESSURE OF MODERN "JUST FOR MONEY" MOVIES.

  Hi can someone tell me what the stories of en bommakutti ammavukku and poo vili vaasalilea are. I think I have mistaken the former movie for another movie starring 'sathyaraj, seetha, and shobana.'

  Fazil had a very strong passion towards mammooty and all mohanlal fans were quiet unhappy about it. In all his films there were something superstitial idol or something like that... He has almost stopped making good films in malayalam.. Maya

  I am a mallu and I love all of Fazils movies..especially...Ente Mamattikuttiyammakku, Nokatha Durrathu Kannhu nattu and Manhichitrathazhu...they wer all good movies! Mohanlal acted good in all of them.

  There was a famous malayalam movie called "Chithram" directed by Priyadarshan, has anybody seen the Thamizh remake of it called Engiruntho Vandhaan----stg. Satyaraj, and Roja?
  
  
• From: Kitcha (@ dhcp232-176.eel.ufl.edu) on: Thu Jul 29 18:50:33
  
  Mani, I saw that movie and thought it was Satyaraj's way of humiliating Mohanlal...It sucked bigtime, to say the least!
  
  
• From: Mani (@ spider-th063.proxy.aol.com) on: Thu Jul 29 21:03:12
  
  Yes it did, it is a cheap remake, though Satyaraj is a good actor, just not in that movie!
  
  
• From: aruvi (@ spc-isp-tor-uas-88-20.sprint.ca) on: Thu Jul 29 23:30:29
  
  I watched it too. But it wasn't worth much so I can't remember the story. I am hoping that there was a big difference in the mallu version cuz the tamil movie wasn't even worth the '$1' rent:-)
  
  
• From: Mani (@ spider-wc053.proxy.aol.com) on: Fri Jul 30 10:18:59
  
  Yes, Chithram was a BIG hit, Priyadarshan made a lot of pannam off of that movie, Engiruntho Vandhaan was just a no good remake, the original Malayalee version was a beautiful movie.

  Fazil made a beutiful teenage love story in a typical mallu background, Ennennum Kannettante. it is remade in tamil as Varsham 16. malayalam film had beautiful songs by Jerry Amal Dev while tamil version also had memorable songs from IR.
  My favourites from fazil other than Ennennum... are, Ente maamattu..., Nokkethaa....and Manichitrathaazhu.

  Nokketha doorath Kannum nattu is remaked by fasil
  as Poove poochudava in tamil,Nilave malare is also
  a movie in Nadhiya acting double role(with Rahman)I think the same movie in malayalam also acted by
  them was also dubbed from Malayalam.Recently Aniyathipravu is changed as Kathalukk Mariadhai.

  The malayalam original of Poovizhi vaasalile directed by Fazil is Poovinu puthiya poonthennal (Cast: Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Babu Anthony, Karthika). It was a total flop

  Vivek,
  
  I have seen Poo Vizhi Vassalile, with Satyaraj, Raghuvaran, Babu Antony, Karthika, and the late Adoor Bhasi, and the funny Maniyan Pillai Raju? Might as well made it in Malayalam, it was a Malayalee cast, Raghuvaran is a Malayalee from Palakkad Kerala!

  Continuing with Fazil's Tamil remakes, KILI PECHU KETKA VAA was in fact a remake of an early sixties Malayalam movie BHARGAVI NILAYAM.

  Finally saw "poovizhi vaasalilee". Baby Sugitha was very cute and great acting. She was more impressive then Shalini even. So natural. Even though she didn't have any dialogues the child emoted so well, especially the last scenes, at the house describing the mother's death and then expressing her fear of the bearded guy. I wonder if it did well?

  Fazil is holiding the record for the kerala state award for popular film with aesthatic value. 4 times he got that award. this award will not be given just on the basis of commercial sucess. the artistic value in that film is very important. The director who is competing for fazil in this is kamal with 2 . bharathan also has won twice.

  Fazil created magic with "manichitratazh","nokkkettha doorath kannum nattu "and "manivathoorile...."
  But Harikrishnans was unfortunate...no good story, proper script, both the acting legends were wasted in their roles........
  and...in Vismayatumbatth... a brave attempt... but a lot of overacting from all the actors... where did fazil's control over them disppear?
