Spadikam

Among the most perfect films ever made, spanning the entire spectrum of known human emotions, right up there with The Godfather or Titanic, if not nearly beyond.

Sphadikam, belongs to the class of south Indian cinema which is almost extinct at the present time. One of the most prodigal characters, Thomas chako aka aadu thoma along his father chako maash(kaduva chako) make the movie the most impactful psychological experience a south Indian can achieve. The kind of music, direction and cinematography we can spot in the movie is completely void from the south Indian film industry now. The striking dialogs and incredible acting make the viewer have goosebumps. Its a shame that Malayalam movies have gone a lot down from this kind of quality in direction and acting. Even Mohanlal(Thomas chako) has begun doing pathetic movies like Alexander the great and Kandahar. As for sphadikam, its the most kick-ass movie in Malayalam along with devasuram. Truly a legendary one for the directors.

This movie is filled with action and may be be best known for the signature Mohanlal-mundu attack, but the father-son relationship is the center-stage for the whole movie. Some scenes are very moving. For example, the scene where Thoma's father is to invite Thoma to his sister's wedding, Mohanlal driving the lorry in anguish, the hospital scene, and yes, the climax.

Mohanlal doesn't have a chiseled body or bulging biceps. But his gait, body language, dialogue delivery - all ooze masculinity. Wonderful acting by Mohanlal and Thilakan. This movie seems something at first, but turns out to be something else.

The story (based on a real-life person), background score and acting all fit into place. A definite watch and an all-time Malayalam classic.

This fine movie is director Bhadran's sole saving-grace.

This movie whose central character Adu Thoma Is A film of both class and mass. Aadu Thoma is a mass action hero. But he is still not essentially larger than life. Thoma is a rogue. He doesn't fear anything. He thrashes policemen. But to Bhadran's credit, he still keeps Thoma grounded. Unlike other mass characters Mohanlal portrayed later, Aadu Thoma hasn't traveled to foreign countries after he fled his home as a child. He hasn't learnt music, other skills or achieved great things. In fact the movie doesn't really talk about what he did the 14 years he was away. Thus This Film is a must watch for every film lovers.

One of the Gretest Movie from the malayalam movie industry ... The story of the Movie is Nice .. 'ADU THOMA' is well in professional things but his father 'THILAKAN' sir does not interested his activates. Due to his father torture 'THOMA' become a criminal .. Overall ' A MUST WATCH MOVIE'
