You are correct, he has been in acting so long, and I have been delighted to see his movies, he is one of the best actors in Malayalam Cinema...

He is the best actor i have ever seen. There is lot of charm in his acting. Even his eyes seem to smile some times. Very versatile actor not lot of shouting stuff. It seems beard suit him well(Jwalayayil serial DD).

Yes he is one of the best actors in India today. He is very versatile. I consider him at the same level as Nana patekar, Mohanlal, Thilakan and Kamal Hasan.

I think SOME roles - such as in Sargam, Ennennum Kannetende, His highness, etc suit him soooooo well...but there is some similarity in all those roles - makes u call them Nedumudi roles... but I have seen a movie (don't remember the name) in which he acted as Villain - it was horrible !!!

Nedumudi's debut films is not Thakara. I am not sure but Aaravam of Barathan is released before Thakara. And Maruth in aaravam was great. So as xavior of 'Vidaparayum mumpe' saved innocent as a producer.

Nedumudi is villainous in Champakkulam Thachan and he did a gr8 job.Pennupidiyan azha kozhamban roles il abhinayikkaan angere kazhinje ulloo.Yavanilayile panchara kunju aaya nadaka nadane aarum marakkilla.same goes for the villainous olinju nottakkaran in Kolangal.

Jayaseelan,
Thanks for that info. I stand corrected.
It is still widely believed that "Thakara" or more appropriately Chellappan Asari, was his debut, something like saying that Manjil Virinja Pookal was Mohanlal's debut, though he often insists that it was "Thiranottam", which never saw the light of the day.

No one can do that he has done in Minnaminunginte...
But I think , there is some saturation in his acting

He did a great job in "Mangalam nerunnu" and "Churam".
The 420 types roles which he has done in some movies are terrific, probably only Sreenivasan can match him in that department.
He adds an extra dimension to the villainous roles that he does, the role in "Kamaladalam" was hilarious.
Who could do the role of a 75 year old man better than him, "Nokkethadoorath Kannum natt", "Ennennum kannettante.." etc..
He is right next to Mohanlal in versatility.

He was that old Christian priest, who had that problem of sneezing at the wrong time (in front of kunjoonjamma, was that her name??)

Mr. M,
Chellappan asari is known as Nedumudies debut because 'Thakara' was a box office hit and 'Aaravam' was not a succes.Means most of the people didn't see Aaravam. I think Nedumudi and Prathap Pothan came through 'Aaravam'.

Chamaram,Kinnaram and Sadayam too to be included in Ms list.
Then there s one movie which he did along with Mammootty and Madhavi - a light comedy which he portrays with elan.Can t figure out the name.Same s the case with Kinnaram along with Sukumaran.He is truly versatile.
But why is that when ppl like Suresh Gopi and BMenon can customise the make and the act in a movie to win an award; NM still lags behind by a long shot.Is it that the standards on which the true masters are measured are notches higher than that of their less gifted counterparts?

Anybody has seen Mondanmar Londonil by Sathyan
Great comedy. Nedumudi, Jagathy, Sangaradi, Bahadur and Jalaja tour London and miss the receipient and get rescued by Sukumaran.
A rare movie. Nedumudi had a good comedy role as Ambattan. His shouting at Pakkingam Palace "Cutting or Shaving " should be hilarious

mammooty,madhavi, nedumudi film is Oru katha oru nunakkatha.

yeah that was a good movie. Btw Mamootty looked at least 45 in that movie.

Raghu,
Thanks.It is one of those gripping light comedies which one can keep watching on and on and on.
Anu,
True..typical of his mash roles in Oru kochu themmady and Anubandham - You know there s a quote on Mammootty by Derek Malcolm - i can t figure out his exact words;but it talks about an undercurrent of warm emotions subtly portrayed or some sort like that.I always used to think the guy would have based his observation on these 45 year old mash roles of mammootty - but strangely one finds mammootty quite endearing in such roles; when he is taciturn;when he does not rely on his vocal chords.I think Malcolms comment on Mammootty is the best accolade he ever received from a critic of repute;and ironically his website chose to ignore it.

Hello Ranju,
I completely agree with your point. Nedumudi is a great actor.. or a complete actor. Most of his memorable characters come from directors like Bharathan and Aravindan... I think Nedumudi had earlier made his entry through Aravindan's 'THUMBE'..
