I would like to know ur views about Mammootty today..Mammootty is an accomplished actor and earned a name for himself by doing many a dramatic roles..One thing that I've noticed these days is the fact that Mammootty's characters suddenly got younger than the roles he was doing 10-15 years ago. I really appreciated his films in which he played somewhat his age like Amaram,Poomuzha patiyil ninneyum kathu, Thaniyavarthanan,Pappayude Appoos etc..I don't know exactly how old he is definetly above 50..but the characters he plays these days are sons or brothers around 30-40 who somehow happened to be chronic bachelors..I cannot stand these kind of stupid films of Mammootty..what u guys think? Do we need a Mammootty like this?

  nyan Kalikkalam kandhila..was Mammootty another young man in that movie?
  
  
• From: tojo (@ mail.coware.com) on: Fri Sep 14 13:08:39
  
  that movie was released before 1990. Mammootty was at least 11 years younger then. kallatharangal okke kaanichu nadakkunnu oraalaayittaanu athil mammootty. i don't remember if he was a young man. that was a good movie and had a good song in it - aakaashagopuram .....

  Don't u remember, Mammootty acts as an old raid officer and he cheats someone in Kalikkalam. Yes Anu is correct if he has to remain in the industry , that is the only way.

  Entho I don't feel like he is old, I mean he doesn't look that old, and he is a very good looking guy who can do police roles and valyettan roles very well.

  Mammotty maintains his body. Now also he is the best looking hero in malayalam Film Industry. Apart from that, he has the most powerful sound.

  it's real absurd to say mammootty is old and doing roles of 30-40 years.mamuka pole aarrum ee
  logathu iliya just because he is damn handsome & very well maintains himself. even a teenager seems
  to be elder than mammootty so dear friend do not keep your black eyes over him.his performance & dialogue given is just as good as his looks

  Does anybody know the correct age of
  mammooty, jayaram and suresh gopi.
  I know mohanlal was born in 1960(His website
  www.theprinceofkerala.com) and
  Dilip in 1970. What we have heard in our
  younger days is that mammooty is atleast 10 years
  more than mohanlal. So he should be around 51.
  Any one in this forum can confirm the above

  Anuuuuuuuuuuuuu
  Bayankara Thamashayanallo........
  
  After 2 years you can see tht Mammooty will be acting in such a role ike kalikkalam and st the same time he will be acting as the son of Mohan Lal. That is mammooty. He is such a handsome guy yaaaar. He is looking younger than before 10
  years.Nobody is there in the Indian industry to compare with Mammooty.
  Eni ethu pole thamashikkalle

  i would like to see films which has these new heros acting as the sons of these old mammotty and mohan lal with almost equal characters. They need to realize time will catch up with them. Like I believe that, Amithab Bachan started accepting that they are over 50 or looking to be over 50 and need to do good roles of a father and etc... They are in denial and its gonna take a long time for them to start doing roles of their age. One good thing of mammotty is he has maintained his personality (i.e., fat) compared to mohan lal. If I was lal i would start wearing a better wig and shorten the hair the mustache and get some plastic surgery for the sagging double chin and most imortantly Exercise. mammotty on the other hand probalby already done a few facial surgeries to hide his aging skin or he is just in good physical shape.

  The best thing about Mammukka is that he gets younger & more handsome. He is SUPERB in "KAZHCHA"- He will reign easily for another 10 years.
