Chithram

The movie is an all-time hit in Malayalam. The movie directed by Priyadarshan came to theater in 1988. Soon comes Mohanlal's uncle Vishnu to arrest 3 prisoners. Mohanlal is the culprit who was sentenced to death. In the meanwhile, the Malayalees saw the new life of Vishnu asking to say, "Sir, why not?" The background score of the movie is still Malayali's favorite ring tone. In the climax, Vishnu goes to jail. If the film ends with Vishnu in the movie, it will not be for anyone who does not want to do something

Chitram is the kind of movie that one can watch numerous times and not get bored. It's considered to be a Malayalam classic. Although it has melodrama, Romance and action, this movie stands out for its Comedy. Lalettans acting is top notch. I want to rate this 8.5.

The climax of the film is unpredictable and is one of the best classical films of mollywood. Mohanlal sir's acting in the movie is superb. Everyone will bear tears after the climax scene. One if the best feel good movie of Malayalam

Despite doing it for the money, it was for a noble cause. Kalyani and Vishnu are initially feuding with each other but they do fall in love eventually. My favorite parts of this movie are the songs Paadam Pootha Kaalam and Eeran Megham. I also like the Lalettan fight scene with Sreenivasan and Shanavas. My least favorite part is MG Soman's introduction as he appears to be menacing. The scene that I hate is where Soman hits Lalettan to the ground after the chase scene in the woods. Vishnu is an escaped convict from prison but there's a backstory as to what made him that. MG Soman is the prison warden. He is married to Revathy (Lissy) who is a mute dancer in the movie and they couple have a child. One night, Vishnu discovers a man seeing her behind his back and he assumes that she's having an affair with him. He attacks the man and picks up a knife which he accidentaly kills Revathy with. I don't think Vishnu should've been charged with murder because the death of Revathy was an accident over a misunderstanding. A manslaughter charge would be more reasonable along with imprisonment for a number of years. Vishnu didn't deserve the death sentence as it's a very harsh punishment given the situation. The last scene where Vishnu asks the warden if he could acquit the death penalty makes me want to cry. The entire climax makes me want to cry also. Even though Lalettan is smiling in the last scene, it's still sad to see taken away to be killed :(. Despite that, I still think this Lalettan Classic is a masterpiece and will be for years and generations to come.

The story unfolds thus:Kalyani is in love and wants to marry the guy. But when her father who is abroad knows about this, he disagrees and threatens her that he won't give her a penny if she marries the guy. Kalyani however decides to go ahead, but when her boyfriend realises that she has been disinherited, dumps her. But problems soon arise as Kalyani and Vishnu continuously bicker and find it difficult to get along. The rest of the story is about the growing relationship between Kalyani and Vishnu and the revelation of Vishnu's past. Sreenivasan has a great role to play as the scheming relative who wants to get the family house and title through his sly methods. He is a totally funny character in the movie
