KALIYAATTAM (1997)
The film Kaliyattam is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s play ‘Othello’ and narrates the story of how Thamara (Desdemona), defy her father, her community and marry Perumalayan for the sake of an illogical love.
Manju Warrier plays the role of Thamara with strength of quiet conviction and Suresh Gopi dons the role of Perumalayan, a rather ugly-looking man, but regarded highly for his 'theyyam' skills and expertise in Kaliyattam. The cast also includes Biju Menon and Lal.
'Kaliyattam' is said to be the ancestral form of 'Kathakali' Kerala's premier dance-form.
Enjoy the Video clip of എന്നോടെന്തിനി പിണക്കം (Ennodenthini Pinakkam) a solo rendered by Bhavana Radhakrishnan to music composed by Kaithapram Damodaran Nampoothiri.

Thanmathra directed by Blessy portrays the effects of Alzheimer's disease on the life of an individual and his family. The film bagged five Kerala state film awards for the Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay and a special mention for the debutant actor Arjun Lal.
I have pleasure in sharing with you the Video clip of “Kaatru Veliyidai Kannammaa” an immortal Tamil lyric of Maha Kavi Bharathiyar, rewritten by Kaithapram and rendered by Sheela Mani, Sunil, Unnikrishnan and Vidhu Prathap to Mohan Sithara’s brilliant music composition.
MOHANLAL, MEERAVASUDEVAN AND ARJUNLAL ON SCREEN
Savour this sweet Gujarati style folk song from the film "Banaras"
rendered by Shreya Ghosh. Music composed by Jayachandran to Gireesh Puthenchery’s tantalizing Lyric.
പ്രിയനൊരാള് ഇന്നുവന്നുവോ
എന്റെ ജാലകത്തില് രാത്രി മൈന കാതില് മൂളിയോ
ചാന്ത് തൊട്ടില്ലേ നീ ചന്തനം തൊട്ടില്ലേ
കാറ്റു ചിമ്മിയ ചാറ്റല് മഴ ചിലങ്ങ കട്ടിയില്ലേ
HIS HIGHNESS ABDULLAH (1991)
I consider “Gopika Vasantham Thedi” as the best number from Mohanlal’s Musical, His Highness Abdullah. Tuneful music rendered by the Late Raveendran Master to Kaithapram Damodaran Nampoothiri’s lyric and rendered by Yesudas and Chitra, you will never tire of devouring this video clip again and again.
നൂറു ജന്മം നോമ്പ് നോട്ടൊരു
തിരുവാതിരയാണീ രാധ
അലിയും തോറും അലിയും എന്
പരിഭവമെന്നരിയതെന്തേ
ഗോപിക വസന്തം തേടി വനമാലി
MOHANLAL AND GAUTAMI ON SCREEN
CHENKOL (1993)
Chenkol is a sequel to 'Kireedom' which is one of the all time best movies of Mohanlal. Sethumadhavan (Mohanlal), released from prison after serving time for murder, returns to find his mother ill, his younger sister working to support the family, his father not accepting him in the family because he is a jailbird, all his dreams shattered and a bleak future.
This Video clip “Madhuram, Jeevamrutha Bindhu” clearly depicts his present lot with nothing to look forward to. Music composed by M.G. Radhakrishnan to Gireesh Puthenchery’s lyric, this is a solo rendered by Yesudas.
സൌങന്ധികങ്ങളെ ..ഉണരൂ വീണ്ടുമെന്
മോകമാം രാത്രിയില് പാര്വനം പെയ്യുമീ
ഏകാന്ത യാമവീതിയില്‍
ശാന്തമാണെങ്കിലും ….ആആ ….ആആ
ശാന്തമാണെങ്കിലും പാതിരാകാറ്റിലും
വാടാതെ നില്ക്കുമെന്റെ ചേതന
പാടുമീ സ്നേഹരൂപകം …പോലെ
മധരം ജീവാമ്രിത ബിന്ദു
MOHANLAL ON SCREEN
സൂര്യകിരീടം വീണുടഞ്ഞു രാവിന് തിരുവരങ്ങില്
In Devasuram, Mohanlal has given a memorable performance as Mangalassery Neelakandan (Neelan) the rich, spoilt, wayward feudal lord with élan. Devasuram, directed by I.V. Sasi has a strong storyline backed by brilliant performance from Mohanlal and Revathy besides excellent musical score by M.G. Radhakrishnan to Gireesh Puthenchery’s lyrics.
Enjoy the Video clip of “Surya Kireedom Veenudanju” in Devasuram, rendered by M.G. Sreekumar.
