Thara is a 1970 film directed by m Krishnan nair. Mr nair did his role very well as the film we can see uninterrupted in one sitting. We will be involved in the film as the story and presentation is good. However the climax was little irrelevant as the mother is dying.. Not appropriate for the situation as the mother realises the daughter.. They don't get a chance for an affectionate talk. The situation was turning to a joyful moment at that time the director decided for the death of the mother which not the anticipation of the viewers.. A get together was more pleasant at the moment.. Two characters are really masculine in their behavior that of sathyan and nazeer. Sathyan was willing to adjust with his wife in first night disclosing she gave birth to a child before marriage. The characters can be considered a model to the society. Everybody acted spontaneously in the film making it a success..the romantic scenes in a railway coupe deserves an appreciation for its lively picturisation. The songs from vayalar devarajan combination worked well.. The songs nunakkuzhikkavili... Utharayanakilipadee.. Kaverippoomthennale... all songs are good.. M Krishnan nair, the director has an inborn talent for direction which he proved by his films. Sharada doing the heroin in double role was a tremendous success.. In every sense thara is a real entertainer for the viewers.. Let us see the film

Thara

Thusharam is a 1981 film directed by iv sasi. The film is starting as a romantic drama then it to a revenge story. In the starting the viewers are placed in a platform for a romantic film. The death of the heroin takes place in the beginning itself. The thread of the story is broken due to the death of a nice heroine visualised by rani pathmini who is cute in her looks in that period and eventually committed suicide in her personal life. The death of the wife of ratheesh makes a break for the smooth flow of the story. Whatever is done by the hero she cannot be rescued. Then we go along with the story ratheesh is taking revenge against brigadier rajasekharan who is balan k nair. So many actions take place against him as a revenge of the killing of the wife of captain ravinder. Ravinder together with the help of jafferkhan kidnaps the daughter of brigadier and trying to torture her in their captivity. At last her mind changes and inclined to him saying he is a brave man. Daughter and father get together at last and he admits his guilt and surrender for coutmsrshall and ceased to be in military. The story is lagging in many situations because of a straight thread of story is lacking in the film. However the picturisation of the shots in the mounts of kashmeer is realistic and is shot in dreadful situations. The song manje vaa.. Is beautiful and is well shot. Altogether the film can be said to be an average entertainer with the strange location in kashmeer. Let's you see the film

Miss Mary is a 1972 film directed by jambu. Malayalam film industry known little about this director. He is proving a well versed director through this film. The film is too modern in its approach and presentation. The film may be compared with contemporary films as the story is modern and no lagging in presentation. The ddialogues are natural and the acting of renuka as mary is tremendous. The viewers feel afraid when her shots coming. She tackled the role with a full applause. We can see a different premnazeer and bhasi in the film. Bhasi was living and not acting unlike doing boring characters in usual films. . Similarly bahadoor proved a perfect artist through out the film. Nellikkod bhaskaran as usual did aremarkabe role. The film is the craft of the director as the artist will do their potential to the maximum if talented directors are controlling the location. Some good songs are filled suitably in the movie. The best of them are "neeyente velicham jeevante thelicham".. "manivarnanillatha vrindavanam". The songs are hit evertime.The songs are written by sree Kumaran thambi and music by rk Shekhar.. The music by Shekhar is remarkable. Let's you watch the movie...

Guruvayoor kesavan is a 1977 film directed by bharathan. The film is the masterpiece of the director.. His creative power was at it's peek if we go through his films. The songs from p bhaskaran g devarajan team was exquisite.. The success of the the film is purely based on a good screen play songs which are picturised in a romantic mood.. Altogether it is a real entertainer. The film is based on the the real story of an elephant with most of the characters as seen in the film.. It is said that an adult elephant will have the brain power equal to child with the age of 10. here kesavan had more iq than the usual elephants and a divine attachment to the lord guruvayoorappan.. Soman did his role well.. Bhasi totally changed to a mahout for this film. As the film is based on the story of an elephant, other stories are not much elaborated by the director.. However a combination of the animal story with the human story is established by the director.. Through the film bharathan established himself a good versatile director.. The song marimukilin is played in an a cheerful mood.. The song best fits the situation.. Innenikku pottukuthan is a semi classical song is remarkable in its presentation. A short t old man as a namboodiri playing with the children is a good casting.. Similarly Muslim characters acting with the temple surroundings shows the secular nature of the life in those days.. The elephant as kesavan acted well however during the sick period of time he had not even a fatigue which the director if took initiative was possible by fasting for two days.. Usha Kumari and Jaya bharati did the role well.. The scene of a peacock in the temple premises is a good shot.. The story is really heart touching as the elephant was treated more or less like human being.. See the film you will be impressed by the music scenes

Guruvayoor Kesavan

Chakravakam is a 1974 movie directed by thoppil bhasi. The film is going through the miserable life of raghavan. The first half is progressing in an interesting mood. The life of raghavan is from a romantic period turns to the family period. His wife was drowned to death when they were returning from the temple. He looked after the girl child to whom he was so affectionate. One day his house caught with fire and his child died. He was made a destitute. One day a child reached his home and he bacome fond of her. Her mother was a street prostitute which he realized later. She met with him one day saying she was ready to live with him. Their family life came to an end when they clashed for the matter of a sack. She went away with her daughter. He searched for the child and met her in the street. There he fought with a man during her street business. The man stabbed the lady and she was dead. Raghavan was arrested saying he killed her. He was arrested and sentenced for the trial. He was later released from jail and he took charge of the care of the child. The story is nothing unique nor fresh. It is a mix of many characters as we see in many films. The direction of the film is good with many dramatic situations. As thoppil bhasi is a master from drama in many situations he is confined to the stage level of performance rather than a new medium of art. The language of film is different and needs a more realistic approach that we see in Vincent master films. The role of lalitha in the film is unique and she did the role well and it will be her best role in her film career. The cenematography of the film is fair but not exceptional. The role of premnazeer is not at all remarkable. The music is done by vayalar Sankar ganesh team which is fair. The song "pambanadiyile ponninunu pokum" is marvelous. The film is an entertainer upto an extent though the story is aimless in the second half.. Let's please watch the movie.

Chakravakam

Velutha kathreena is a 1968 film directed by j sasikumar. The film exhibits a normal story of some love affairs and the saturation of it. Nothing extraordinary with the story. But the treatment is different. The film is done in a dramatic mood without losing the thread of story. Two heroes are in the film chellalpan and thirumeni done by sathyan and prem nazeer. Kathreena is done by sheela. The film is done in a period of feudalistic cultural period of kerala and through out the film such discriminative talks are heard. We get a glimpse of the life of the working class in those years. Here kathreena is born as a white complexion lady in a backward community which was suspicious in the eyes of the public. She lived in such a situation of racism. She is a beautiful lady and many admirers are surrounding her making her life miserable. The main attackers are kuriachan and appayi who are friends and they chase the lady wherever she goes. The comedy situation created by them proves that bhasi and bahadoor are talented artists. Chellappan is a regular follower of kathreena and makes arrangements for the marriage. By this time due to problems of livelihood she went for the job of a home maid where she was attacked by rowdies and she came back in the night which is questioned by her brother and he is killed in an attack with the rowdies. She went for a rescue with thirumeni who is a prominent personality in the place. He fall in love with her and decided for the marriage. After marriage her Chellappan one day visited her as a well wisher and rape her. She gave birth to a child which is black in color. Thirumeni pampers the child even though he knew the child was not his. One day he found Chellappan in his house and he started playing his sitar in a desperate mood and died. Kathreena throws the child in a bush and rescued by Chellappan and she is found dead in the river. The picturisation and characterisation is good together with melodious songs. Prem nazeer as thirumeni is good. Sheela as kathreena is fine. The songs of sree Kumaran thambi g devarajan team works wonders. Let's you watch the film

Thottavadi is a 1973 film directed by m Krishnan nair. The film is a medical based film as most of the locations are in the hospital. The hero of the film is vasu. The character is visualised by kottarakkara sreedharan nair. The heroine is savithri done by Jaya bharati. The couple has no child. The burning topic in the film is the pregnancy of savithri. Upto the time of interval the film though lagging is in a normal track. Then it is turning to a medical film as the film turning around the treatment and pregnancy of savithri. The screen play is not in the right track and the viewers feel a diversion from the track and the film goes on aimlessly. At last the film is crashing without any logical end. The director is crash landing the film as going beyond his control. The film does not have a social message as a message is not conceived by the director. The film can be treated one of the worst films of m Krishnan nair. Two songs from the film are good. One of them upasana upasana.. is an evertime hit from lpr varma. The performance of the actors are average and the film not within the category of an entertainer.. If you in patience for two and half hour you may watch and review the film

Gandharva kshethram is a heart touching film directed by Vincent master. The film was released in the year 1972. The film is a classic in malayalam and is a loss if not see the film.

The life of Lakshmi and the child is mind blowing in the second part. The miserable life of the child is tearful moments. The struggle of the lady is touching the mind of the spectators. The film is a technically perfect product as the cenematography is done so sophisticated. Every frame is lively. The film is a poem written by the camera of the veteran Vincent master. Who ever is handling the camera is irrelevant in Vincent films as the camera is fully under his control. Sarada what to say.. is exquisitely charming in the film.. romantic in every sense. All the characters are good including that of kalamandalam kalyanikkuty amma. The songs are exceptionally heart touching as usual in Vincent films. The combination of vayalar devarajan fired beyond limits proving the most commemorative music combination in malayalam. In one way or another, the film is a poem written by camera by Vincent master who was a gift for malayalam film industry, is immemmorabe up to the end of malayalam film industry.. Let's you watch the film and think over my reviews...
