poochakkoru mookkuthi – hungama : poochakkoru mookkuthi is a slapstick comedy directed by debutante priyadarshan , released in the year 1984 . it was based on charles dickens ' play , the strange gentleman . this film brought together mohanlal and priyadarshan for the first time . it starred the famous jodi of malayalam , shankar and meneka alongside mohanlal and nedumudi venu in the leads . it was remade in hindi by priyadarshan as hungama in the year 2003 . it starred paresh rawal , akshaye khanna , aftab shivdasani and debutante rimi sen . it was a super - hit and was appreciated like the original film . the comic timing of paresh rawal was well imbibed in this film . he is considered as one of the best comic actors in bollywood . - aishwarya vasudevan

poochakkoru mookkuthithis 1984 release movie was the first collaboration of the mohanlal - priyadarshan combo . it was even priyadarshan ' s directorial debut . poochakkoru mookkuthi was based on charles dickens ' s play the strange gentleman . the movie had an ensemble cast of mohanlal , shankar , menaka , m g soman , nedumudi venu , c . i . paul , sukumari , baiju , jagathy sreekumar , kuthiravattam pappu , and sreenivasan . singer m . g . sreekumar also made debut in playback singing with this movie . the music for the movie was given by m . g . radhakrishnan , who is the elder brother of m . g . sreekumar . the lyrics were given by chunakkara ramankutty .

our families shared a close relationship , as her parents were part of my father’s drama troupe . my father had rented a house near our home for them in kollam . i first met urvashi and through her , got to know kalpana . after watching her tamil film with bhagyaraj , i was astonished just like every other viewer . only kalpana could have done that role . she owned every role she did . i have acted in several movies including poochakkoru mookkuthi and innathe program that had us competing during the comedy scenes .

priyadarshan’s association with kuthiravattam pappu started with his first commercial release , poochakkoru mookkuthi in 1984 , and it was a warm and winning collaboration that lasted till chandralekha ( 1997 ) . with priyadarshan , pappu could confidently push his limits in being goofy , or raving mad - cap . revel in buffoonery , and in most cases do a combination of all of these . it is fairly obvious in their early years , but with vellanakaludey naadu in 1988 , things took a deliciously delightful turn . that , and more as i take you through my favorites in their collaborations in malayalam cinema .

poochakkoru mookkuthi movie tells revathi ( menaka ) who comes to the city from a small town in search of job and to have a good life and as it is with everyone her problem starts with finding a house . shyam ( shankar ) loves to become a popular singer . his parents are dead against his will . so he runs away from home and needs a shelter . revathi accidentally meets shyam who too is in search of a house through the common milkboy , chikku ( baiju ) . chikku offers them both a house if they are ready to pose as husband and wife in front of the house owners .

meanwhile , priyadarshan and mohanlal have delivered many blockbusters in malayalam , including " poochakkoru mookkuthi , " " aram + aram = kinnaram , " " boeing boeing , " " mazha peyyunnu maddalam kottunnu , " " thalavattam , " " cheppu , " " mukunthetta sumitra vilikkunnu , " " vellanakalude nadu , " " chithram , " " vandanam , " " kilukkam , " " abhimanyu , " " mithunam , " thenmavin kombath , " " minnaram , " " kalapani , " " chandralekha . " however , some of the recent priyadarshan movies couldn ' t make a mark at the box office and if " oppam " will make an impact is something we need to wait and see .

i have a malayalee friend who claims that malayalam movies are better than bollywood movies . is it something that can be substantiated ?

almost all remakes mentioned above already . . so adding one rescent and 5th version of the original film . . drishyam of mohanlal . . it had remaked in 4 languages yet . . and in span of 3 - 4 years only . .

original - drishyam ( 2013 ) , lead - mohanlal , language - malyalam . .

1st remake - drishya ( 2014 ) , lead - v . ravichandran , language - kannada . .

2nd remake - drushyam ( 2014 ) , lead - vyanktesh , language - telagu . .

3rd remake - papanasam ( 2015 ) , lead - kamal hasan , language - tamil . .

4th remake - drishyam ( 2015 ) , lead - ajay devgan , language - hindi . .

i have seen all of these versions , but original remains best at most of the time . . mohanlal simply nailed it with soulfull performance . .

one of my favourite films in malayalam , manichitrathazhu , was remade in several languages including bhool bhulaiyya ( hindi ) . the original starring national award winning actor shobana and mohan lal is one of the most underrated films , which would make for great world cinema .

except malamaal weekly and the recent duds aakrosh , tezz , every priyadarshan movie in hindi , is a remake of his mallu movies . gardish - kireedam kyun ki - thalavatam yeh tera ghar yeh mera ghar - sanmanassullavarkku samadhanam hera pheri - ramji rao speaking hulchul - godfather bhool bhulaiya - manichitrathazhu ( this was directed by faazil ) if we take away priyadarshan ' s movies , some other hindi movies that are a remake of mallu movies . police public - our cbi diary kurippu new delhi - remake of the movie of the same name in malayalam , that had mamooty in the lead . anokha rishta - kanmarathu ( the original starred mamooty and shobana ) julie - chattakarai

adding a few more . dor - perumazhakkalam mere baap pehle aap - ishtam billu - katha parayumbol krodh - hitler beti no . 1 - aadyathe kanmani shabd - rachana

there are so many malayalam movies that have been remaked in hindi . but in my personal opinion none of them did a great job and turned out to be some of the worst remakes

the movie chithram is one of the evergreen malayalam movie that will make you cry .

almost every priyadarshan movie in hindi ( except for malamaal weekly is a remake of a malayalam film ) khatta meetha - vellanakalude naadu de dana dan - vettam billu barber - kadha parayumbol and more . . .

all hindi movie directed by priyadarshan is a remake of malayalam movie , but unfortunately the soul and charm of the malayalam actors and their fine acting couldn ' t not be recreated in the hindi versions and i personally find the hindi versions to be bufoonery .

and i’m sad to say that it was not as good as the original one in malayalam .

- it is also veteran priyadarshan ' s first crime film . he first made a thriller 26 years ago with

is not dark and heavy , but quite fun . that ' s something .

- this is the first time that mohanlal will play a visually - impaired man in a full feature . he has previously played such a character but only in small portions - in rajeev anchal ' s

- the trailer , which released on august 22 , went viral a few hours after it released . it was attached to rajinikanth ' s film

also stars the very versatile nedumudi venu , who has not only played mohanlal ' s friend but even his father on many occasions . the 68 - year - old actor is expected to play a role in

was initially supposed to release a week back on september 2 . if this had happened , mohanlal would have

with jr ntr . however , the film got delayed due to production issues .

is based on a story by first - time writer govind vijayan . additionally , it is the first film for actress devshi khanduri .

mohanlal is expected to play the role of a blind person in upcoming crime thriller " oppam . "

superstar mohanlal and priyadarshan ' s upcoming crime thriller " oppam " has been making headlines ever since it went on floors march 5 . soon after mohanlal shared his happiness in joining the sets of his friend priyan ' s movie location , photos from the sets started doing the rounds on social media .

vimala raman , who is all set to make her comeback to malayalam with the mohanlal starrer , has also shared her excitement in working with the successful actor - director duo for the first time . " peekaboo from the sets # oppam loving working with two legends # mohanlal # priyadarshan . super excited life is great , " the actress posted on her twitter page saturday evening . " last day of our # songshoot an honour dancing with the super talented # lalettan # oppam # kochi # summerheat # shoot , " the actress wrote while sharing some photos from the movie .

mohanlal will be seen playing the role of a blind person in the crime thriller and it marks the comeback of the actor - director duo after the 2013 movie " geethanjali , " even though it couldn ' t make an impact among the audience .

while the story of the upcoming thriller has been written by newcomer govind , the screenplay is handled by priyadarshan . the lyrics of the movie ' s songs have been penned by vinu vasudevan and five young music directors are said to compose its music and background score .

even before i started my singing career , i knew kalpana chechi . our friendship goes back a good 16 years . you would never see her without a smile on her face . there are a lot of people who are different from the reel selves in real , but kalpana chechi was the same jovial self in real too , talking to everyone from the top most in the crew to lightboys . she would always tell me that i reminded her of her younger self . she always considered me family , and it was a mutual feeling .

dulquer’s character in charlie meets many kinds of people but it’s kalpana chechi’s character which stays in our minds . i will always regret not calling her after watching it . the last scene in the film is actually eerily true . she lived for cinema , and died for it .

the last time we met , she told me that she wanted to see my play naga . but when i called her a day before our performance in kochi , her phone was switched off . i remember telling my wife that she is a busy person shuttling between industries .

in one way they say the greatest blessing for an artiste is to die while performing . but i believe kalpana still had a lot of great performances left in her . they will remain unscripted because there are none matching her calibre to take them up .

as an actress , i consider her to be among the top 10 . acting came easy to her , whichever the role . that’s the greatest talent any artiste should possess . our families shared a good relationship even before both of us entered films . her father chavara vp nair was part of our drama troupe and my first role in theatre , when i was barely six years old , was as his son . kalpana and i have acted in several films including bangalore days . she’s someone who doesn’t let her problems affect others and would rather be positive about everything .

is a personal loss for my wife and me as she was one of the first people to call me after i announced my engagement . she has always told me that her role in the dolphins was one of her best . but more than being a co - star , she was really close to me as a person . i have never ever seen her talking ill about anyone . even though she had health issues , she never went into a cocoon . wherever she went , she spread so much happiness – with just her simple smile and kind words .

the film released on 21 september 2007 , and received mixed response from critics as well as public upon release , however it was a moderate box office success .

while the song is dubbed “nino ' s theme , ” its fullest use in mario van peebles ' dated , but still visceral - and - vital , box office smash is in a chase scene with ice - t ' s character in pursuit of chris rock ' s pookie as the young crackhead flees on a bike as the detective pursues him on foot across a park , down steps and through alleys . although it ' s a song with a narrative that matched the movie , it ' s a scene that makes use of the beats and ice - t ' s syncopated delivery rather than any of the specific words . wesley snipes is the best part of “new jack city , ” but this is the best scene of “new jack city” that doesn ' t feature the future action star and tax evader .

known for his hardcore gangster raps , and two appearances in breakin’ and breakin’ 2 , ice - t’s first major acting role was as detective scotty appleton in " new jack city .

in the 25 years since its release , “new jack city” has ingrained itself in pop culture , the most notable example being lil wayne naming his classic series of albums named the nino’s base of operations the carter and taking the nickname lil’ nino . taking things a step further , the movie’s cash money brothers served as the inspiration for cash money records co - founders bryan “birdman” williams and ronald “slim” williams naming their label after the collective .

cobbs played an old man who lived in the carter , which is where the cmb took over to do their drug dealings . feeling as though brown would get to roam free to create nonstop chaos , cobbs’ character eventually guns down brown at the end of the movie as they both exit a courtroom . cobbs , now 80 , has worked consistently since new jack city . he just completed night at the museum : secret of the tomb .

" new jack city " ( citywide ) is a modern gangster thriller about the crack cocaine trade in contemporary manhattan . much of it is set in a harlem housing project taken over by the youthful dealers , who turn it into a nightmare fortress and drug factory . this part of the plot seems the wildest and most extravagant of inventions ; the fortress itself , honeycombed with dark passages , armed lookouts , tv monitors and writhing addicts , almost like something out of " the twilight zone . "

one snowy january night in 1957 , i found myself in a howard johnson ' s in greenwich village buying a hot dog and baked beans for a virtually unknown writer named jack kerouac . it was a blind date arranged by allen ginsberg , who always looked out for his male friends . as allen no doubt saw it , jack needed a place in new york to stay for a while until he could take off for tangier , and i was that rare thing—a girl who had her own apartment .

( i ' d had to wire him $ 30 for a bus ticket from orlando . ) he arrived just in time to read the new york times review by gilbert millstein that made him famous—or notorious—overnight .

most people know tracy camilla johns as nola darling in she’s gotta have it . but she also played the very scandalous uniqua in new jack city , a girlfriend of gee money’s who set her sights on nino brown . after the film , she took a major break from acting , but popped back up in 2012 to have a small cameo role in the spike lee joint , red hook summer . ironically , she played nola darling again , but was mother darling . according to lee , nola darling became a jehovah’s witness .

the line preceding that description claims “my education ' s low , ” but that ' s disingenuous . the first words in “new jack city” are nwa ' s “you are about toe witness the strength of street knowledge” and my favorite thing about “new jack hustler” is how deceptively and cutting smart its lyrics are . there are few harsher , more colorful indictments of the drug lifestyle than “pregnant teens , children ' s screams / life is weighed on the scales of a triple beam” and the rapper ' s realization “got me twisted , jammed into a paradox / every dollar i get , another brother drops , ” nor deconstructions more concise than “is this a nightmare ? or the american dream ? ” and it ' s difficult not to be chilled by the rationalization “sleep on silk , lie like a politician / my uzi ' s my best friend , cold as a mortician . ”

it has been 25 years since the classic drug thriller new jack city graced big screens and raked in $ 7 million opening weekend in 1991 . fun billboard fact : the movie ' s soundtrack also hit no . 2 on the top r & b ; / hip - hop albums chart . in a recent interview with okayplayer , rapper ice t - - who played detective sonny appleton in the mario van peebles - directed film - - revealed that he was hesitant to take on the role at the time because his rap career was beginning to flourish .

my blind date with jack had led to a love affair that we kept alive through letters after jack left for tangier that february . we reunited briefly on his return to new york , and then he headed west for the coast , where he stunned me by settling into a house with his mother in berkeley . knocked out by the energy of his sentences , the dynamic rushes of images and words that practically impelled you to take to the road yourself , i wrote to him that on the road reminded me of huckleberry finn . " i think you write with the same power and freedom that dean moriarty drives a car , " i told him . as for me , i was ready to pack my bags and see america by greyhound bus or join jack in mexico city , where he headed in july ( after returning his mother to orlando , florida ) just around the time random house bought my novel on the strength of the first 50 pages . the check for $ 500 seemed a fortune back then—enough to live on south of the border for months . in fact , jack had fantasized that the two of us would be living in a tiny

young people often ask me whether there could ever be another beat generation , forgetting one essential tenet of the beat writers : make it new .

as john clellon homes , his best apologist , remarked , jack kerouac was " a deeply traditional nature thrown out of kilter .

while nino / ice - t reject the wannabe ' s overtures , my classmates were much more receptive to my desire to prove my bonafides through “new jack hustler , ” especially since i was smart enough not to echo any of the song ' s repeated uses of a certain verboten word starting with “n . ” this affinity with ice - t didn ' t forge lifelong friendships . my family actually moved away just a few months later . and it wasn ' t like i didn ' t have friends already . i was an outsider , not an outcast . i don ' t want to overplay this moment , but the search for common ground was a constant thing and i vividly remember the satisfaction of finding the common ground over relishing “new jack hustler . ”

and how can you not ? “new jack hustler” is tight . d . j . aladdin ' s production is catchy and energetic . in the song , nino / ice - t refers to himself as being “raised like a pit bull , my heart pumps nitro” and ice - t ' s precise flow works both with the propulsive beat , but sometimes stands aggressively and defiantly against the thudding bass .

orville prescott , the conservative regular daily reviewer , would surely have panned the novel , but he happened to be away over the labor day weekend . the far more sympathetic millstein called its appearance " an historic occasion , " compared jack to ernest hemingway and hailed him as the " avatar " of the beat generation . and with that , jack became the object of a media frenzy so relentless that he was soon saying , " i don ' t know who i am anymore !

the impact of the book was amplified by the figure of the author , who with his rugged good looks and nomadic lifestyle seemed almost the hollywood personification of his beat characters . but jack ' s real - life utterances—diffident , gnomic and naively unguarded , often delivered in a haze of alcohol as his weeks in the limelight wore on—tended to bewilder and frustrate members of the media . most ran with the angle : is america in danger of going beat ?

( millstein was one of the rare critics who understood that jack was expressing a need for affirmation , although he noted that it was against what another critic called " a background in which belief is impossible .
