Both Mammotty and Mohan Lal are fantastic actors and you'll recognize them as such if you look beyond the simple definition of a film " hero".

Seriously have to give Malayalis credit for their films. No one really puts thought into making films with original ideas as these people.

People who wear blinkers are unaware of what is going on in the other part of India.It is sad.For your info ...Mohanlal acted in Company and he was brilliant.

I was asking a couple of people what are the 4 states in the south of India and I was iin a state of shock when so many of them could not name two correctly..these are ladie living in the US.

I shd have a debate abt ths in DB and not here.Most of them are unaware of what goes on South of Vindhyas.😒

Holds true for someone who is from India. Not for someone who is an American. For an American, Meena knows quite more than many NRIs I have known😊 I know who Mohanlal and Mammotty are since I am from India, but have never watched their movies to know if they are certainly best or not.

Arey speaking of Mamooty.........He was featured in a show on the travel channel called "anthony bourdain: no reservations" a while back........Anthony and Mammoty had lunch together on the movie set during lunch break.........they even showed a couple of action scenes from his movies.........It was a Kerala special that they were doing......😊
