#PRADHI NAYAGAN MALAYALAM MOVIE MOVIE#

Mohanlal's award-winning roles were not ready recipes for instant success and acclaim. The viewers' sense of admiration was more for the actor than for the complexity of the character being portrayed. In several scenes, Kamal, the actor, took over. There was near perfection and acting grandeur in them. He elevated these strong author-backed roles into the realm of acting utopia. These were well-written, unique roles that, from their conception, needed an actor like Kamal to do justice to. In Indian, he played a 60-plus year old idealistic ex-freedom fighter who decides to take the law in his hands to clean up society.

In Nayagan, he had a dream role, a fictionalised epic version of a real life underworld don. In Moondram Pirai, a youngster'sР’В life is touched when heР’В interacts with someone who alternates, through the movie, between normalcy and insanity. The above movies of Kamal wereР’В ones in which he had very strong, author-backed roles. (* Kireedam won Mohanlal a Special Jury National Award for Best Actor) Mohanlal - Kireedam*, Bharatham and Vaanaprastham. KamalР’В - Moondram Pirai, Nayagan and Indian. Here is a discussion on the movies that both bagged three National AwardsР’В each. Looking at the milestones in their careers, a discerning eye could notice a thread of difference. But these aberrations have onlyР’В lent these roles identitiesР’В that are closer to real life, besides goingР’В beyond the realm of reel life they were originally created for. The sense of effortlessness he has displayed while portraying theР’В range of memorable roles in his career has often transgressed the defined boundaries of great acting. Preferring the art of restraint, probably the most under appreciated quality in Indian cinema, he tries hard his to be just another character onscreen. An extremely natural actor, the nuances of his acting skills are at most times so subtle as to seem very bland. For most who don't understand Malayalam or the Kerala milieu, it is even more difficult to admire him. Mohanlal isР’В an actor who might be the most difficult to imitate. Never short on histrionics, he revels in strong, complex roles and, at times, has pushed the boundaries of these roles beyond what the writer or director probably had in mind. His filmography and its content could serve as the best available acting encyclopaedia for any aspiring actor.Р’В Very methodical, he seems to have understood and mastered the finer points of acting.

Of course, there are distinct differences in their style of acting.Р’В Kamal is probably the closest you could get in the searchР’В for a complete actor.

Kamal and Mohanlal (along with Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah) might be among the most repeated names that serious movie watchers, fellow artistes and critics would pick in their individual Top 10 list of the greatest actors of all time in Indian cinema. I amР’В a Keralite and have grown up in Chennai, and feel fortunate to have watched these two gifted artistes perform in the prime of their careers. How would pitting one against the other sound? It would be very interesting, though daunting, to compare and contrast their styles, I thought.
