Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal

I am not sure how Thoovanathumbikal received more stars than NPMT - I remember watching this movie one New Year eve and coming out with such optimism about life! It may be a personal choice and opinion. This movie is about human life and love after tragedies. The story ending is one of the best as in many Padmarajan movies. I could still hear the tanker blowing horn outside Sophia's house. Classic.

Namukku parkkan munthiri thoppukal is one of the greatest love stories in malayalam.Padmarajan has written a brilliant script.The brilliant direction of padmarajan, extremely pleasing music of johnson,expressive cinematography of venu, the musical and poetric narration of the film,the attractive character of mohanlal and the excellent performance of the actor make it an evergreen classic

Late Mr. Patmarajan has a habit. He loves to glue his viewers to the seat and hypnotize them by his unique movies. Like Aparan, Thoovana thumbikal, Kallan pavithran, Ennale etc. He does the same or even much further in Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal. Malayalam movie viewers still miss him.

In this love story, characters Solomon (Mohanlal) and Sofia (Shari) wins our heart. Whereas, the step father is the key role (Award winning role by Thilakan) that stays with us all the time. Perfect cast in every way. Superb photography, great screenplay and unique setting makes this movie a real gem. I wish men could have his heart when it comes to love...

Honestly this film is like perfect. I couldn't really find anything wrong with this movie besides the video quality being really bad. This is a film that needs a remaster. Ignoring that everything is perfect like I said. The performances are definitely the best part. Mohanlal goes deep into his role of an eccentric romantic with each mannerisms being perfect. Shari is also great as the second lead. The movie surprisingly is also focused on her struggles and she does a good job of conveying them. Thilakan makes us just want to take an ax and chop him to death. That how much I loved to hate him. The supporting performances especially from vineeth and kaviyoor ponamma are great as well. I loved that Solomon's and Antony's friendship was also a huge part of the movie besides the main romance. Padmarajans writing is also effortless with a great ending that was very progressive for its time while other movies used to botch this subject. A masterpiece in short and deserves to be seen even today.

If you have not seen this movie, then you should! It's a masterpiece and in a class of its own.

A movie that was ahead of its times, that continues to remain relevant and will remain so for the foreseeable future. An evergreen film to cherish and celebrate the sheer brilliance and craftmanship of Padmarajan.

The background score, the songs, dialogues, script, screenplay, acting, location and you name it, all of them are outstanding! A must watch for all avid movie buffs!
