I completely agree to your opinion on the movie. But to my limited knowledge, not many superb films have a comparable sequel to them. In this case, I would like you to watch Chenkol, the continuation of Kireedam. As a matter of fact, many viewers have rated Chenkol lower to Kireedam. Even I did, immediately after seeing the move. But after ruminating over it, I came to the conclusion that the movie could even be rated over kireedam. Just because it is next to impossible to be brutally honest to the theme,carry forward the script and portray it. So, to those who have not seem the film, I recommend Chenkol. You may, just may, have a disturbing time after watching it. But its worth it.
Beautiful portrayal of father son relationship by the mega stars Lalettan and Thilakan. Its so realistic and so believable that we care for the characters even after the movie climaxes. If I were to narrate the plot to you, you may not like it much. Its the screenplay and natural acting that made the film the blockbuster that it deserves to be. This movie when remade in other languages lost the essence as the heros were shown too heroic and righteous. Original is a masterpiece.
Only the tears of the crown can be remembered only with tears. Sethumadhavan who is desirous of being an SI. He murders all the hopes of his father and murders him. Malayalee will never forget that Thilakan is going to knock down Mohanlal in the climax. Mohanlal has won many awards for best actor.
The film which made me die-hard fan of Mohanlal. Plot written by A.k.Lohithdas & directed by Sibi malayil talks about a young aspiring lad who's life became a hell (his dream seems tumbling off) when circumstance were against him & ended as a noted criminal. A.K Lohithdas scrutiny developed script given each character depth subtly without any unnecessary scene. Mohanlal as a stoic protagonist just mesmerize me with his natural acting, he is natural at his best. To my reckon, this probably may be one among those movie to unleash Mohanlal as a omnipotent actor. Its pity that Mohanlal just got special jury instead of giving best actor. Thilkan as his father was equally superb. Climax scene showing the duo chemistry was arguably best acted ever. In climax Mohanlal makes myriad of emotion and his crumbling emotion will surely evoke oodle of tears. Others supporting actors given ample support which is demanded by them. Songs by Johnson was masterpiece & never ever a keralite can forget 'Kaneer poovinte' this song is enough to make anyone yell. Director Sibi malayil easily tow off all the actors performance deftly. This remain as one of his laborious work. Movie is juxtaposed in 140 min. Standing ovation to stalwarts like Thilkan, A.k Lohithdas & Johnson for their contribution given till their end.
One of the Best Movie from the team Sibi Malayil and Crew. The theme of the movie is
