Mohanlal

@@ +1 @@
+'''Mohanlal (b. 1962)'''
+
+
+Malayalam star born in Trivandrum, Kerala.
+Unlike his contemporary Mammootty, with
+whom he dominated Kerala’s cinema in the
+80s, his bulky physique makes for an unusual
+heroic figure. Moved to Madras where he acted
+in Thiranottam, an amateur production by
+actors and directors trying to get a break into
+films. Started professional acting career at
+Navodaya Studio. A villain in his early work (cf.
+his noted debut in the love story and stunt film
+Manjil Virinja Pookkal, and Attakkalasam
+starring Prem Nazir). Shifted to his bestknown
+80s genre, musical comedy, with
+Engane Nee Marakkum. Was later associated
+closely with the foremost director of this genre,
+Priyadarshan (cf. their hits Chithram and
+Kilukkam). His films privilege comic routines,
+a Trivandrum-Malayalam accent and dances
+where the star often shows amazing agility.
+Director Priyadarshan says that in a Mohanlal
+dance, ‘I do not go in for well-rehearsed and
+conducted steps of dancing, but instead make
+the camera move according to the music.’
+Mohanlal’s slightly spoofy, satirical musicals
+and romance dramas (which often end
+tragically) are sometimes contrasted with
+Mammootty’s grim, songless vendetta thrillers
+(New Delhi, 1987; Oru CBI Diary Kuruppu,
+1988). Both stars often acted together, e.g. the
+hit Gandhinagar 2nd Street and I.V. Sasi’s
+political drama Vartha. Shifted his style to play
+an Eastwood-Leone figure in Bharathan’s
+Thazhvaram and a very unheroic officer in
+the rehabilitation ministry in Aravindan’s
+Vasthuhara.
