King Of Kotha
Starring Dulquer Salmaan, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, Gokul Suresh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod Jose, Shammi Thilakan, Saran, Shanthi Krishna Anikha Surendran
Directed by Abhilash Joshiy
Crafted with the sharp edge of a harpoon, King Of Kotha, is a brilliant bloodbath. Bestial and unsparing, it goes through several eras and auras of tansformations of skullduggery with transfixing passion.
Although it is the story of two goons who love to hate each other over a period time, it is Dulquer Salmaan’s Raju that holds the plot’s attention from first to last. With a cigarette swinging from his thick lips and curly hair as wild and untameable as the man himself Dulquer’s Raju comes across an epitome of sinster swag, though I preferred him with less swag in the second-half when he strikes a frightening forlorn figure.

Malayalam cinemaShammi Thilakan’s real breakthrough came somewhere during the turn of the last decade, with the entry of new filmmakers and writers.Neelima MenonFor the longest time, Shammi Thilakan lived under the shadow of his legendary father Thilakan. Shammi, a stage artist, made his debut on screen in the Kg George film (Irakal) and struggled to find his space in Malayalam cinema shortly thereafter. In hindsight, that his father was already or well on his way to becoming an established actor might have stalled his chances during the initial phases of his career. In the early 90s, the roles that mostly came his way were those of an antagonist, cop, or yes man – largely one-dimensional and unmemorable. Interestingly, Shammi Thilakan was known more as a voice artist during this period. If his deep baritone fitted Raghuvaran (Vyooham) and Salim Ghouse (Thazhvaram) perfectly, it added heft to the wickedness of...

ReviewActors are spilled across the narrative, but instead of adding to the frolic like in Alphonse’s previous films, in ‘Gold’ it is mostly just chaos.CrisImagine that tin game most of us played as kids – many names written in small chits of paper dropped inside a tin that is then shaken vigourously. After 160-plus minutes of Alphonse Puthren’s Malayalam comedy Gold, the head feels somewhat like that tin. I am still pulling out names from it, and I have managed to recall 30 so far. Star-studded is not the right word for Gold. The film has actors spilled all across the script and just as soon as you catch up with one name, the person is nowhere to be seen. It is of course Alphonse, a filmmaker known for penning long scripts and being generous with the cast. But in his two previous much-adored ventures if it added to the fun and frolic,...

MollywoodWhile Dulquer Salmaan and Prithviraj are among those who've managed to make a name for themselves, other star children have not been so successful. Sowmya RajendranPranav Mohanlal's debut film as hero will hit the screens on Friday. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, this is a star son launch that will be closely watched by fans of Malayalam cinema. Mohanlal is widely regarded to be the best actor Kerala has produced and he has won national and international acclaim for his performances. Nearly four decades after he made his debut, Mohanlal is still the king of the box office in Kerala - and he has managed to stay relevant by continuing to do a wide range of roles, from the macho Pulimurugan to middle-aged 'family man' ones as in Drishyam or Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol. Younger stars have their own fan-base in the state but they are nowhere close to breaching the actor's popularity or control over the box office. Given this, comparisons to his famous father are inevitable and it is an obstacle that Pranav will have to bravely cross. Famous last name - advantage or burden? Dulquer Salmaan, son of Mammootty, the other superstar from Kerala, has been quite successful in coming out of his father's shadow and making a name for himself. But the journey hasn't been easy, as the young actor has said in several interviews - in fact, he was reluctant to come into acting because of the comparisons that will follow. Dulquer made his debut with Second Show, a multi-starrer, and has since gone on to act in several blockbusters. He has also ventured into Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema. Prithviraj, son of actors Sukumaran and Mallika, is another star son who has made a place for himself in the industry, despite attempts to thwart his growth. Image courtesy: Kalyani Priyadharshan/Facebook Keerthy Suresh, daughter of actor Menaka and producer Suresh Kumar, is a popular heroine in the Tamil and Telugu industries. Director Priyadharshan and actor Lissy's daughter Kalyani made her debut with the Telugu film Hello recently and it remains to seen if she will become a sought-after heroine. Unlike a debut by someone who is not from a film family, the success or failure of a star son or daughter is amplified several times over. Fahadh Faasil, son of ace director Fazil, is regarded as the best actor of his generation by many. In fact, his ability to look completely natural on screen has been compared to what Mohanlal has achieved over the years. However, when Fahadh made his debut at the age of 19 in Kaiyethum Doorathu, under his father's direction, the film turned out to be a big flop and he was slammed for his performance, too. It took him six years to make a comeback to the industry and a few more to be acknowledged as a talented actor. Image courtesy: Vineeth and Dhyan Sreenivasan/Facebook Vineeth Sreenivasan, son of actor, director and scriptwriter Sreenivasan, has had moderate success in his film career thus far. He acts, sings, directs, writes and also produces films. However, he too, has always faced comparisons to his father's work which towers above his. Sreenivasan's younger son, Dhyan, is yet to make an impact in the industry. Dulquer's friend from childhood, Vijay Yesudas, is another star son who has struggled with constant comparisons to his famous father. Shammi Thilakan, who closely resembles his father, has never managed to win the kind of critical acclaim that father Thilakan got, film after film. Kalidas, son of actors Jayaram and Parvathi, is still struggling to be noticed despite making a splash with a song from Poomaram. What's riding on Aadhi? From the outside, having a successful parent in the industry looks like a huge advantage. And it is, in many ways. Producers and directors treat you like a somebody and not a nobody. Then, there's the financial aspect - a superstar has the money to pump into a launch vehicle either openly or covertly. Their established fan-bases are likely to promote the newcomer's film enthusiastically. However, none of this guarantees success, as several second-generation entrants have discovered across film industries. Pranav Mohanlal is, of course, not new to the camera. He has worked as a child artist in a couple of films and has also worked as an assistant director to Jeethu Joseph. The director, who helmed the wildly successful Drishyam which was remade in several languages, has been entrusted with the young man's debut film as an adult, and he wouldn't have taken the responsibility lightly. Image courtesy: Pranav Mohanlal/Facebook The promos of the film, said to be a thriller, have been promising so far and the release is happening at a good time - a long weekend all over the country. There's no doubt at all that the film will take a good opening, given the young man's last name and Antony Perumbavoor's Aashirvad Cinemas throwing their weight behind it. But after that advantageous head-start, Pranav will have to prove himself to an audience which is likely to nitpick. Both Mammootty and Dulquer have welcomed Pranav into the industry, wishing him luck publicly for Aadhi. This, even as the Mammootty starrer Streetlights is also releasing on the same day. If Pranav manages to gain a foothold and rises to the top, it will be interesting to see how the box office battles between him and Dulquer - sons of Kerala's most beloved actors - play out.
