Manjil Virinja Pookkal

This is a Malayalam language film starring Shankar and Mohanlal. The film is celebrated as being Mohanlal's first mass release. He then went on becoming Malayalam film industry's most versatile and popular superstar till date. This film ironically also stands out as he plays a villain in his debut film!

The film story has nothing great to speak of. A jilted, sadist ex husband seeks revenge at any cost. Hence the villain's character had to be played with conviction which Mohanlal does. Shankar also plays his role well, first as the romantic, then as heartbroken and later full of rage. Due credit to him too.

An average watch but for the lead performances.

Manjil virinja pookkal

it was good. Maybe great at that time

That girl Prabha was hard to crack. She's so pretty too.

It took long time for Mohan lal to appear in this movie Lal looks like a lady, that's a lot of hair

That put me to tears...at the end when he came back to see her father sivasankara then finding out that he had passed away, then as prem leaving he did that cocaine sniff for kiss.... I had few small tears 😭

Moment later lal is breaking her neck which I thought I'll never see lal do as an actor. Since all I've seen him play as a hero

Manjil Virinja Pookkal is a date yet solid film. Watched it for Mohanlal and he didnt disappoint as expected. The lead actor and actress gave some Solid perfomance. The side cast also did their job well.

Fazil's Direction was good for a debut,that too with the limited budget and tech available. Overall a well put together film with some bold choices in Plot. And Mohanlal.. What a Phenom. Natural flow of acting while being dramatic enough for the time. To think he was only 20 years old while performing a ruthless antagonist to such effectiveness!

The greatest Acting talent Indian Cinema have ever produced.
