Spadikam

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'

A mind-blowing performance by Mohanlal in each scene.Story-wise one of the best story. Supporting actors like thilakan and all other best performance.

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.

This movie is a real gem. It has everything in it to entertain us. We can see Thilakan and Mohanlal, they really challenged each other when portraying their respective characters and the result was precious. Thilakan as Chacko Mash a strict school headmaster and Mohanlal as Aadu Thoma who turned out as a local Goonda hold a grudge against his father for the stubbornness he imposed on Thoma and spoiled his life. All other characters done by actors like Nedumuti Venu, Rajan P Dev, KPAC Lalitha, Chippy, Urvasi did their part very well so that every part of the movie is so interesting. This movie is timeless.

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*
