Bollywood Movies Part CLXXXV: The Mollywood Takeover Part XXVII

Ten year old Vicky (Sidharth) goes to his grandparents’ home in Kerala to attend his grandfather’s (Thilakan) funeral. As the sixteen day funeral observances proceed, tensions rise between the various family members, even as Vicky befriends his cousins Kannan (Rejosh) and Manikutty (Arathi Sasikumar) and Roja (Vyjayanthi), the girl who works there and longs to return her mother.

Manjadikuru is a lovely film about childhood, while also dealing with familial issues and grief. It is wonderfully made and really inhabits its setting of Kerala in the 1980s. Each of the family members has their own story fleshed out without distracting from the focus of the film. All of the child actors were good, but Vyjayanthi was outstanding in her role. Favorite songs are Manchaadipenne Vaadi (no subtitles), Chaadi Chaadi (no subtitles), and Maargazhi Manjil (English subtitles).

Stammering Shekhar (Dulquer Salmaan) falls in love with blind dancer Radhika (Dhansika), but their families have objections. Justin (Anson Paul) is rescued by veterinarian Trilok (Dulquer Salmaan) after a car crash and discovers that the woman (Arthi Venkatesh) whose death he was involved in four years earlier was Trilok’s wife. Siva (Dulquer Salmaan) raises his brother Siddhu (Rohan Manoj) after their mother (Asha Jayaram) after their mother leaves them with their abusive father (Peethambaram Menon). When their father is killed, Siva tracks down his killer, Mumbai crime lord Vishnu (Prakash Belawadi), and Siddhu tags along. Lt. Rudra Ramachandran (Dulquer Salmaan) and Akshara (Neha Sharma) are madly in love, but they are separated when Akshara is sent to Australia for college. After not communicating for four years, Akshara is about to marry Alok (Manit Joura), and Rudra goes to the engagement to fight him like he did with all of Akshara’s other suitors.

Solo is an anthology based on the various facets of Shiva and the elements associated with them. I liked all four stories for their merits, but my favorites are World of Shekhar and World of Shiva. Solo really highlights Dulquer Salmaan’s acting abilities as it showcases him as the main character in each story. Favorite songs are Oru Vanchi Paattu, You (audio only), Aal Ayaal, and Sita Kalyanam. Only You has subtitles, but they are wrong.

When Savitri (Keerthy Suresh) is found in a coma, Madhuravani (Samantha Akkineni) is assigned to write an article about her. As Madhuravani delves into Savitri’s turbulent past, she learns of Savitri’s rise to fame in Tamil and Telugu cinema, her initially secret marriage to Gemini Ganesan (Dulquer Salmaan), her alcoholism, and her philanthropy.

Mahanati is a good biopic that could have been better. While it does a good job portraying Savitri’s rise and her marriage, it glosses over her financial troubles and health problems in her later life. Additionally, it begins with a mystery as its premise to get Madhuravani interested in Savitri, and then it never solves the mystery. I did enjoy how they remade scenes from Savitri’s movies and the film was true to the period. Keerthy Suresh is amazing as Savitri and is really the star of the film. Favorite songs are Aagipo Baalyama, Mooga Manasulu, and Gelupuleni Samaram. None of the songs have subtitles.

#the great venture into Bollywood #becomes the great venture into malayalam cinema #has a telugu interlude #i watched manjadikuru because i wanted to see if the only anjali menon film i hadn't seen yet would make me cry #spoilers: it did so all 4 of her films made me cry #solo was made in malayalam and tamil so i watched the malayalam version #fun fact: some showings of the malayalam version of solo in theaters cut the big reveal at the end of world of rudra #solo (malayalam) dubbing artists: bhagyalakshmi for suhasini maniratnam. shobi thilakan for nasser. krithika nelson for neha sharma...#vijay menon for dino morea. vijay babu for john vijay. angel for dhanshika. zaina for sheelu abraham. jayalakshmi for asha jayaram...#sangeetha for sruthi hariharan. haritha prakod for arti venkatesh. suchith suresan for sidharth menon. revathi for nithya #while not the focus of mahanti gemini ganesan is a fascinating person because of his two simultaneous marriages and his ongoing affair ...#with pushpavalli that produced actress rekha who gemini ganesan refused to acknowledge as his daughter until later in life
