Initially Lijo planned to cast Thilakan for the Bandmaster Loui Pappan role, but he passed away early then he gave the role Kalabhavan Mani. Today I have realised he actually pays a homage to the Maestro through this scene. Amen is a miracle

Anyone remember those Kalabhavan Mani action movies in the 2000s?

I saw a marathon of them on some channel. They were low budget but could easily recover the costs for the producer. These movies were like the Mallu equivalent to B-Grade pandi padams. 5 song and dance sequences all sung by Mani chettan. They will soon be played in every auto rickshaw or college trip bus. There were 5-6 fights with Vijay movie levels of stunts and ridiculous camera angles. The stories were the standard poor common man fights the rich and powerful. Love interest is there to be his dancing partner in the songs. Like many Tamil movie heroes, Mani makes references to his dark skin color and lowly origins. But heroine has to be fair skinned and stylish, kind of like a pandi padam heroine. My favourite trope is this. In many of his movies, Mani chettan's father is described as poor and dark with a disadvantage background. But the mother is always an upper caste tharavadi Hindu, even if her husband is vere jaathi vere matham. That angle provides some family drama for Mani to deal with.

Overall, these movies were cookie cutter templates of many B and C-center Tamil/Telugu movies. However, they are mildly entertaining thanks to Mani chettan himself. Unlike the heroes over there, Kalabhavan Mani can act. Plus the songs can be hype AF with his unique voice and dance steps. In spite of his disadvantaged past, he had made a whole "brand" of movies for his audience to enjoy.

Popular hit songs you can't stand

Since almost every post in the sub feels very formal or news based, I think this would be a change in overall discussion. List out the songs which you cannot tolerate. I don't mean the word 'overrated' but just your personal opinion. They might even be underrated & great songs but somehow it makes you cringe while it's on TV.

To me, these are the few songs which are popular as well as big hits but I can't tolerate them.

  1. Minnaaminunge Minnum Minunge Engottaan Engottaan Ee Thidukkam (Not Kalabhavan Mani version but all the female vocal versions)
  2. Kunnathe Konnaykum (Pazhassi Raja)
  3. Oru Chik Chik Chik Chik Chirakil (Niram)

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐Ÿ˜‚

The complete list of all gossip

Mohanlal

  • Only has consensual sex. Not a rapist. General modus operandi is to openly ask the woman for sex

  • Has pretty much banged every co-star including Revathi, Shobhana, Silk Smitha, Karthika, Meena, Lakshmi Raai

  • Was close to marrying Karthika but her father opposed

  • Married current wife only to gain influence and money due to producer father's status

  • Women who don't sleep with him find it difficult to work again. For e.g. Kamalini Mukherjee. Young actresses are now required to be with him and Antony Perumbavoor if they want to be cast in a movie. One actress allegedly rejected him for Ittymani

  • Impregnated Nayanthara and then forced her to abort

  • Open relationship with K.Ponnamma where they even simulated sex acts in an industry party. It actually disgusted Seema (IV Sasi). Stopped after the 90s but then has supported her by getting her work

  • A room boy once walked into Mohanlal's hotel room to find a naked Lakshmi Gopalaswami/Lakshmi Raai in his bed. He showed her naked body to him as a tip as he didn't have cash

  • Is close to Ravi Pillai and Pinarayi Vijayan

Mammootty

  • Has "keeps" in every district
  • Rumoured to be involved with Nyla Usha
  • Now in Dileep's pocket after he rescued him from Thilakan's feud with him and AMMA
  • Ikka was rumoured to be roaming with Madhavi, and a Nana poster with Ikka lifting Madhavi (in swim suit) in a swimming pool was published (a movie photoshoot). This created problems in his family. That is when Ikka's father called him and asked him to take his Wife (Sulu) to all public events and if possible to shooting sets. And he complied

Suresh Gopi

  • Was caught banging Beena Antony in a car in Thrissur. Was let off by the cop who caught them

Has anyone seen Malayalam movie Snake & Ladder? There is so much i wanna discuss. And i have only seen the first 20 mins of this movie. So many questions...

Edit: i am adding this here. I had posted about the movie when i began watching it.

Ps: i sat through the whole movie and i can say

We missed a great "swabhava nadan" in Mr. Ram Reji.

Neha Pendse, the hindi import was purely for glamour. Loads of oomph and skin. No acting chops.

Lt. Kalabhavan Mani repeating his Clinjo-Nallavan aaya villain role for the nth time in a wierdly funny wig

The sthiram vazhipokkan from Kattapanayile Hrithik Roshan doing a role, he probably thought would catapult him into the big league

Some random characters...who have no rhyme or reason to be there.

And a fantastic climax and twist. Ho...This movie doesnt disappoint.

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
