One of the worst malayalam movies that I have seen is titled "The Car" starring Jarum. The plot was horrible and I considered it a waste of my time. Can anyone beat this??

  sudheer.. a correction..
  
  randamvaravu is a movie directed by "saajan" (our blade sajan - chakkarayumma & recently "violence" fame). he have done a couple of mammootty-suitcase-shalini movies, and he waz workin on the lal-starrer "kadathanadan ambadi", when all these legal issues aginst him started. all over india, there waz a collapse of private financiers, and lot of ppl in kerala lost their hard-earned bucks. he waz in jain 4 a couple of yrs, and priyadarshan completed that movie, followin directions frm the court. the high court directed priyan & lal 2 distribute the profit 2 the customers. but, the movie waz the biggest disaster in mallu film history, and eventually the petitioners ended up loosing whatever that waz left out of their investments.. and this guy sajan, as soon as he waz released started workin on this jayaram starrer, which waz a story about an innocent who is trapped and jailed by the villains, and eventually takes his revenge on them. i guess he wanted 2 ride on the sympathetic wave. but, that waz rejected outright... humm yeah, it waz a crap movie.. :-(
  
  now thatz some mallu film history for you.. :-)

  During 84-86, there were very good Mamooty films other than suit case + Shalini. Alkkoottathil Thaniye, Anu Bandham, Adiyozhukkukal, Vaartha, Snehamulla Simham, Kaanamarayathu, Koodevide, Aksharangal etc were good films and also these were super hits at the box office. Sometime a actor is forced to run towards the trend, that's what happened to Mammooty in 1985-86 period.
  
  Mr. V, have you seen 100 films of Mammooty? It is certain that "no". Edo veruthe veembu elakkaathe.

  EO,
  //randamvaravu is a movie directed by "saajan" (our blade sajan - chakkarayumma & recently "violence" fame). //
  
  Correction... :)
  
  Randam Varavu was produced by Sajan of SAJ productions... your history part is ok... but hewas never a director... Randamvaravu was directed by K Madhu... it had Jayaram & Rekha...
  
  It was one of the biggest flops of the year... it was a year where Jayaram tried to do some action movies (Pudhiya Karukal, etc...) and failed miserably

  Violence was directed by AK Sajan a script writer... not SAJ productions Sajan

  Hi Guys
  I couldn't see the post made by this "V" character but i have seen enough good posts by "evamo oruvan" to trust his judegment---TRIVIA:incidentally i met balde sajan at tvm at his bar --Luciya in tvm---he's still well off and his exploits in filmdom is confined to "socializing" with heroines-was very boastful about it.
  Mammooty made some good films too--he was very prolific those days---PG viswambharan ,sajaon trends were a major distraction---remember Trishna ,Kadhakku pinnil,Ponnum Poovum,Manivathoorile 1000... ,Kaanamarayathu ..list is endless
  Remember -- all those mamootty/rahman/rohini , rhaman/lissy ,rhaman/nadia moythu films---Used to hate those but now never miss one on TV-it's a pop-cultural milestone of our life.Maybe we should have a post on that one.
  The action films of Suresh gopi, Jayaram that used to run for 2 days--they are our equivalent of hoolywoods "Ed Wood film"--u know--"creature from the 7th dimension" ,"attack of the green blob".

  gooday,
  
  talkin bout mamootty brings a lotta memmories, he definitly have some classic roles and movies of all time. if u don think so, then u kno notin bout momootty, or havent seen his best. probably have da same to say bout mohanlal. mohanlal is a good actor but he is lettin himself down recently by actin on some hopeless movies, addin to worst movies 'praja' by mohanlal it was made for waistin time, really had no point in it. As 'sita' commented ...ingane enthinaa cinema undaakkunne??

  just adding a note about mammootty/shalini starring old movies by 'labella' sajan, those are called kutty-petty-mammooty movies (kid-suitcase-mammooty) those movies invariably had those ingradients. they were just tear-jerkers.
  the story will be of a happy couple, of which one, either husband or wife gets into another affair, conceals it from the spouse, gets in a trap(usually murder) and everthing will be clear at the end. another variation was the kutty will have 'a typical type of asimophrenieic spontulus modalated tractorial disorder" and dies !
  
  and about the worst movies, how can a worse movie be defined? on its commercial succuess or by the quality of the movie ?
  
  if its flopping in the box office, i would like to add a movie, "gandeevam" staring siddique and some girl. i was one of the few lucky(?) persons to watch that movie. since in most centers it stayed only for a day ! though the movie didnt run well, the film representative of that movie ran well from one theatre to another !
  
  and if its the quality of the movies i would say, all those senti movies like muthuvinte swapnavum meerayude dukhavum, another one is that old madhavi-murali starrer by sisbi malayil were worse. they just copy the stories from the "Ma" weeklies and try to make people cry !

  There was a movie Chandamama *ing Kunchakko Boban in which he and sudhish walk around with a dead body(acted by jagathy) for 2 days!! that is a memorable 'worst movie' for me.

  According to me one of the worst malayalam movies is CID MOOSA.oh,it was horrible.it is better to sit at home and watch cartoon network than wasting money for watching this stupid movie

  i wouldnt say that a movie is worst if it has made some money. atleast it would have made the producer happy. and there are some target audiences for each movie. like CID moosa was meant for kids who watch spiderman and other cartoons. I agree that it was rreally boring for us. but the kids enjoyed it. if i remember right, it was released at the time of vaccation making it easier for kids to watch.
  For movies made by that Vinayan, the target audience is low class ladies, who belong to the loading/ unloading or engaged in kooli pani. they dont have anyother means of entertainment-no tv-no internet- so they watch those movies. even they were commercially succesful.
  i dont have any problems with that. but the real trouble begins when they start acting like big budhijeevi directors. Do you know the first film by Vinayan? it was "Superstar" shot with the dupe of mohan lal. horrible movie that was. at that time mohanlal fans vinayane eduthu sherikku perumari !!!
  also do u know the first film of SUper director shaji kailas ? "sunday 7pm" starring silk smitha.
  tulasidass's debut film was layanam.
  
  from all these we can understand the real calibre of the so called directors. if one movie made by them accidentally janangalude vivarakedu kondu becomes a hit, that doesnt mean they are talented !!
