Spadikam

One of the best performances By Mohanlal and Thilakan. Backed up with a very good story and direction which leaves a raw image after u come out of the cinemas. I pity that friend of mine who mentioned about the film as just a mediocre one!!! Wonder why films aren't being made of this class in the current malayalam film industry. Its rated as Mohanlal's, who is considered as one of the finest actors in the industry, one of the best performance so far in his career. The Mohanlal-Thilakan combo scenes are a treat to be watched. Cant really rate who's better. Aaduthoma,the protagonist of the story, is one of the finely etched out characters by the Director-Writer Bharathan. The real life-like characters which used to appear in malayalam film industry as in Sphadikam is gone missing.

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.

Sphadikam is an acclaimed film directed by Mohanlal. Mohanlal is playing the role of the king of the movie, but the role of the movie is also made by Sphadikam. Mohanlal fans are still trying to bring the character in digital form into the Big Screen.

Thomas Chacko was a pedophilist, but with a lot of features and abilities. Thomas Chacko was a go-getaway for Chacko Maash, who believed that the glue of the globe was considered. Thomas Chacko later became a stumbling blocker of the Thett Thomas, but had a beautiful heart in him.

Spatakikam is a film that shows the value of livelihood of Chacko Masch who has traded the tradition of Thomas Chacko. Mohanlal also says that his favorite movie is Swadhakali.

Mohanlal admits to the stereotype of the story

Spadikam (1995) : Brief Review -

An out an out Mass Blockbuster with Classy, Heartful Storyline. A stellar face off between two Legends Mohanlal and Thilakan is Unmissable. 90s was a decade when South cinema was running riot with gangster and criminal background films and many of them have became iconic films. The list starts from Nayakan then we had Thalapathi and then we had Spadikam which has more soul than those two films. The timing of the other two films helped them to gain much praise and ofcourse the cast and direction too, but as we move forward with the time period we realise how old these films have became and that's why those films are special. However, for Spadikam this timing thing doesn't help much because it wasn't the first instant classic in this crime drama genre like Nayakan was. Spadikam actually has its own legacy, its own identity and its own supremacy. A small-town criminal constantly clashes with his strict school headmaster father at the expense of their family lives. The betterment we see in this crime genre is, Spadikam has a baddie character as protagonist but it provides him a concrete backdrop that makes his character very sensible. Even Nayakan has the same thing to shine bright but Thalapathi lacked it. The exceptional use of emotional quotient makes Spadikam even better. Mohanlal as Aadu Thoma is truly iconic, his attitude, his rowdyism, his reckless and tit fir tat nature everything is Top notch. On the other side, another legend who constantly clashes him is none other than Thilakan and he is freaking amazing in his fantastically written character. Even the supporting cast is highly impressive. Bhadran delivers a sensible mass film in crime genre and believe me this is very rare especially when you don't apply intellectual theories. Overall, A Cult Classic, don't miss.

RATING - 8/10*
