only masala films get dubbed in hindi , sadly ... if u look at the general impression about indian films , they (the various film festivals in india n abroad) say that indian films r brilliant , n strictly in the order ...bengali, malayalam , tamil ... bollywood/hindi don't even feature in top 3

as i am a malayalee i could say about malayalam films ... the acting is natural n there r genuine bold stories too... 'namukku parkaan munthirithoppukal' had mohanlal marrying shaari who was raped by her father ...! . the film was a box office hit...

'thaniavarthanam' has mammootty being poisoned by his mother n the mother too commits suicide bec he was being forced to live a life of a paagal by society n traditions n superstitions ... yet another super hit!

yatra , again mammootty n shobhana , the ordeal of 2 lovers n human beings , one struggling to regain his identity n be free n the other patiently waiting with all the love in the world ... again superhit! ...

'sadayam' , mohanlal ... i still remember he was denied the national award for the best actor by the jury stating that the film was too cruel ... there he murders 3 innocent girls just bec there was no other way to escape or rescue them from the clutches of men who were going to rape/sell them ...

'oru vadakkan veera gatha' mammootty... regarded as cult classic where the film managed to force people think 'could it have happened that way' , n sympathises with a villain who we grew up knowing was the epitome of all things bad n evil...

'aham' - mohanlal ... a difficult husband n a man who kills his wife bec he suspected her...

'vidheyan' - mammootty ... a brutal landlord who rapes n uses women as he sees fit , treats servants as slaves , n kills his wife just bec she happened to have the courage to look at his face n mock him for what he is ... a role a hero will never take up... what ever may be the odds ...

'amruthamgamaya' - a shocker of a movie were mohanlal kills vineeth in the process of ragging in medical college ... n he pleads to the principal to forgive him n to cover up the incident bec his life n career n family honor was at stake ... dunno any hero to have done such roles in india

.'panchagni' , a heroine centric film where geetha played a powerful character of a strong woman who just can't stop being herself even when life tries to present her with easier routes... a superhit! ...

kaliyaattom, the malayalam remake of othello, long before omkara n the lead actor sureshgopi won the national award for best actor in it ... the film was brilliant!...

mohanlal n mammotty shares 6 national awards among them , BTW ... n if u add kamal haasan , it becomes 9 ...n 10 if the special mentions r included... just shows the quality of acting n cinema malayalam n tamil alone have...

above is just a random list ... n that too of majorly mammootty n mohanlal movies ...

every language has good n bad movies , classic n masala movies ...sad part is that only the masaala movies get dubbed n shown nowadays ... i remember doordarsan used to air good movies in all languages every saturday ... n even movies from around the world... so sad thay stopped the practice now ...

Have seen and loved all these movies..sadayam is a movie i dare couldn't watch again, just because of the sheer brilliant heart wrenching way mohan lal acted in that film..even aakasha dooth which was about a doting single mother of 6 children suffering lukemia was a good movie..To say that these movies were made in 80's and 90's says a lot about progressive outlook of regional films.. If you want to rate the regional industry you should watch the best films out there to get a better picture..I too miss good old doora darshan days..

yeah , sadayam was heart wrenching ...n mohanlal was too good in it ... n yes ! 'aakashadooth' ... i still cry while watching it after challenging myself that i won't cry this time 😆 ... yeah , these movies were in the 80's n early 90's ... we had such brilliant writers n directors who gave characters n stories for actors to perform , rather than the present day directors (some) who keeps giving slowmotion walks n fights to the 'stars'...
