![]() ![]() Many viewers would return to theaters for watching the flm again and again.īetween 2005 to 2010, Mammootty did more successful commercial movies. His slang and dialogues would all become part of pop culture. The film was Rajamanikyam and Mammootty was 54 years then. What’s interesting though was two weeks later he called me and said he watched the movie a couple more times from theater ! But he tried to understate the experience and said it was just an okay movie. I told this to my friend who accompanied me. ![]() When I came out of Anand theater, I was thrilled. How he completely transforms to a different character for a mass commercial entertainer movie still amazes me and it remains the best performance I have seen by an actor in this genre. But to my surprise, not only did he nail the slang for both mass and emotional scenes, he reinvented his comic timing. I doubted if he could carry off the entire film in this way. When Mammootty started with a different slang, I was little sceptical. You realize watching them with an electrying crowd on the first day is a fabulous movie going experience. Watching Mammootty and Mohanlal movies on the first day of release has become a habit now. The King’s audio cassettes would also create records as I remember Mammootty’s dialogues from the film being played at places I go then just like they play songs ! The film was The King and Mammootty was 44 years old then.
