It should be the other way around. Write good stories and cast appropriately. That I feel is the answer to the decline of Malayalam movies.<BR/><BR/>Asin has got a real break with Ghajini (I have not seen it). Obviously it is because of her good performance in the original Tamil version that Director AR Murugadoss retained her in the Hindi remake. Will she return to Malayalam cinema?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391953993560698130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-12579978238644884292009-01-20T11:49:00.000+05:302009-01-20T11:49:00.000+05:30Kariyachan, Padmarajan was truly a genius.

Stories are written around these mega and super stars instead of casting the suitable actor for the story/role. Lack of good stories and Malayali’s famous pseudo Puritanism also plays a part in the downfall. <BR/><BR/>Among the heroines you left out Bhavana (Mollywood’s “Kajol”). Beautiful Asin Thottumkal is Mollywood’s loss and Kollywood’s and Bollywood’s gain. Incidentally Gopika got married and seem to have left the scene.<BR/><BR/>Imagine these pretty young things paired opposite the above mentioned super and mega. So young heroes have to be weaved into the story but the young upcoming guys a reluctant to play second fiddle. All-in- all its a bleak future for Malayalam cinema.Nebuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918391278683718111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-46379521878263317842009-01-18T15:10:00.000+05:302009-01-18T15:10:00.000+05:30Hi AT Sir;Recently my Bro-in-law brought me a set ...Hi AT Sir;<BR/><BR/>Recently my Bro-in-law brought me a set of Padmarajan's movies during the festive season.<BR/><BR/>Namukku Paarkan Munthiri Thopukal, Ennale,<BR/>Thoo Vaana Thumbikal<BR/>Moonnam Pakkam<BR/>Aparan <BR/>Season ,to name a few.<BR/><BR/>The genuis in story telling is quite evident , and let us hope there would be some more movies like these in future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795920124734881705.post-73729812541793831372009-01-17T23:41:00.000+05:302009-01-17T23:41:00.000+05:30i do a good thilakan movie seems to have been rele...i do <BR/>a good thilakan movie seems to have been released recentlyharimohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105229701118099822noreply@blogger.com
