Dasharatham

Dasharatham is a movie that was made far ahead of its time but was still appreciated well. Made in 1989, when the protagonist wants to have a child, he goes in for artificial insemination. In most movies in other Indian languages, some even as recent as 2002(Chori chori chupke chupke), whenever the heroine was not able to bear a child, the hero would have to sleep with another woman or something like that. This one is sans any melodrama and the climax too has been dealt with in a professional and believable manner. Its admirable that the director had the guts to make the movie at that time when this technology was not even that popular. Kudoos to him for presenting it in an excellent manner.

I decided to watch this movie after seeing a video where someone mentioned how Mohanlal's fingers "act" in the final scene and wow they were not exaggerating. This film is undoubtedly one of the finest from the Golden Age of Malayalam cinema. Dasaratham takes you through the journey of a man who thought money could buy him anything, only to learn that some things are truly priceless.

Mohanlal's final breakdown was pure brilliance and easily some of the best acting I have ever seen. His effortless portrayal of emotions is unmatched. This is truly one of the finest Malayalam movies I have experienced. The Sibi Malayil Lohitadas combination never disappoints and this is yet another masterpiece from them.

I am currently on a nostalgic trip, revisiting old classics that shaped the Malayalam film industry. I might have seen many of them before but I am rediscovering their magic all over again.

Very touching movie brillient acting by mohanlal. Watching this movie in 2020 ! I haven't seen such a fine film in recent times.

What a stellar performance from Mohanlal ! This movie alone is enough to prove "the complete actor" label.

The climax of Darrahat, if Mohanlal broke down on Sukumari's shoulder and said, "Anne Monne Snakeman is a Maggie in Snehamoho," you will see his fingers, and understand what they are. Mohanlal's dance performance is in favor of Sukumari.

Dasaratham is a movie written by Sibi Malayil by Lohithadas. The film, released in 1989, tells the story of a pregnancy hired work. The character presenter Mohanlal is renting a woman's uterus to give birth to her baby. The woman is not ready to give up the child at last. Mohanlal is ready to give the kid his daughter. Mohanlal asks the nurse Sukumari to give up the baby and Anini loves the magic as he loves her son. The story of Mohanlal is a classic example of the climax scenes in the Dasrath.

I thought Dasharatham was one of those movies where despite all the hype, the movie is not good. Even the first 30 mins or so will make you think that this wont be a good movie. BUT THE MOVIE IS MARVELOUS. The last 45 mins of the movie is so special. The performances of Murali and Mohanlal are exceptional. And Sibi Malayil proves that he is one of the best directors of malayalam cinema. One of the things I didn't find satisfactory was that of Rekha's performance. But even so it's definitely worth a watch.
