It was an evening I was just walking back to my home from my school. Saw a poster..’The Truth’ Kovalam Manuvil ennu muthal…I was thinking this was that Mammotty’s movie right.ohh that might have flopped.Shaji Kailas might have gone for a sudden making because he tasted success with his Aram Thampuran..The thoughts went so on and on…The thoughts of a child in some 5 or 6…Then that child reached his home and days passed by. The privilege of movie was Doordarshan Sunday 4 Pm movie other than that movie was not even in picture no local cinema hall to go and his age never allowed him to go…So that guy made a hobby to learn cinema through the posters and paper advertisements. Again time went on…Going back to past ….One fine day his mother took him to Pappayude swantham appoos even though that was not his first movie in the theater…the guy just went into the theater have a lot of candy’s with him. His only thought was to see something on the screen…the story was about the love between a father and a son…At the climax the guy wanted to believe that the son’s of the hero never died but just had all the diseases cured…The guy was crying…but happy about the movie experience. But knowingly or unknowingly something got injected into him…He never known that. But he wanted to see that hero’s movie again and again…Finally he came to know the hero’s name …It was Mammotty…For the guy cinema was Mammotty….And thus start the story of a young child turning into a hard core fan and then into a movie lover…Ok I am not here to tell my story…But about a man who just guided one guy into the world of cinema…world of magical silver screen wonders… Mammotty…
Mammotty, the name which no one needs any introduction…But how he came into my cinema world or how I became his fan…An young child never used to analyse any hand or leg or eye movings of any character…For him a movie was nothing but something which really he gets into…Mammotty was so promising here.. Any Mammotty movie he watched was taking him to another world.. He felt like he have seen this character somewhere..the guy felt that the character is walking along with him..talking to him..taking his stories atleast in some parts of the movie…That was the success of the actor called Mammotty…Let it be any role …He always made sure that the audience travelled along with him…rather watching the character with a wonder.. thats why we cry when we see Mammotty cries on the screen because we used to feel that character a lot within out hearts…The methodologies of acting he followed was scanned many times by many cinemagoers…but eventually ended up with nowhere other than rating him as the best in the ways he follow…He was so tremendous in the acting portfolio he has chosen..his paths never crossed with his counterpart Mohanlal that is its called as a crime to consider Mohanlal in Mammotty’s character or the vice versa…The preparation Mammotty does for any character is phenomenal. Let it be any character.. Only a true observer can do that.. Only a man with a must win attitude can do that.. He was tried to excel himself…His physique ..his body language ..his styles everything shows that… He is not an actor who changes things once in a while but he is an actor who challenges the changing times and shows to the world that nothing can beat him…He strongly takes cinema as medium to excel…I think wonders in this world was done by those type of people who just challenges themselves… Mammotty was and is of that sort…When people used to call him as next prem nazir he just excelled what Nazir sir has done to his age…Phenomenally Mammotty..
The character etching of Mammotty was perfect in all means.. He take care of every nook and corner of his acting…Subtle emotions. ..Perfect movements…Mammotty was always excelling himself…When media projected Mohanlal as his opponent or say competitor I felt that he himself might have told that my opponent is no one but me and that is attitude that made him to the level what he is .. If I talk about his characters. I am sure a hell a lot articles are going to be needed for that and I am not capable of such an analysis…But the effort he put forward for each cinema..each character is commendable…If you see the character Ambedkar..you can see the cheeks of Ambedkar bulged..During the shoots Mammotty rejected of a make up set up to make cheeks like that..What he did was just pulled cotton sponge into his mouth put a silver wire to caught hold them on the cheeks.. And the weird part is every time he utters he dialogue this silver wire will rub against the tooth gum and cheek and blood will flow..Look at the dedication.. People used to see Mammotty with a cooling glass .. or as a man who always wears cooling glass but he is the man who goes to any extend to make characters perfect…Yeah age has put a toll on him .. I accept that…But I am sure this man will defy that too…Characters are yet to come..From Prem Nazir of Malayalam he will out grow the Bachan of India…Defying time and ages…
Mammotty always got criticized that his was not natural..but those criticizers can tell anything of that.. I would tell them to refer the scenes… Ambedkar reacting when he heard Gandhi passed away…Pazashiraja fighting his final battle with British army…When Ahmed Haji shows his sexual desire ….When Mannadiar just tells hydrar that he is not get spared.. How many are there… lot n lot.. Mammotty is an actor in which you can find a mix of so called natural and method acting…
