It is Mammootty have more hits/superhits/megahits, while mohanlal career recorded more flops. It is sure some mohanlal films were Biggest hits of those years and some lalfilms created history in Boxoffice. But its not only because of lal. Even dileep also have BLOCK BUSTERS. The real star of Malayalam is One & Only Mammootty who is produced more hits/superhits/Megahits in both commercial & Art films category. Whenever mohanlal act in a film with out any commercial element its become utterflops. The list of Mohanlal flops is amazing & unbearable for Lal fans. I posted here before

Now Naran becomes Superhit...but its CBI the clearwinner of Onam. Even after a bighit distributors are not ready to take lals forthcoming films especially Vadakkumnathan. The lalunnies those who are shouting here doesn't know this .

Hey lal fans ... dont waste u'r energy here. go & find good distributors for Vadakkumnathan. Its a sure flop infront of RAJAMANIKKAM & dileeps FAST TRACK. But you save the producer by getting a good distributors.

LAST SIX MOVIES OF MEGASTAR MAMMOOTTY HAS COLLECTED AN ALL TIME RECORD OF 50 CRORE RUPEES GROSS COLLECTION WITHIN THE KERALA CIRCLE AND THE TOTAL GROSS (OUTSIDE KERALA WHICH INCLUDE OTHER SOUTHERN STATES,GULF) IS MIND BLOWING.

"Kazhcha, Black, Vesham, Thommanum Makkalum, Taskaraveeran and Rappakal have totally contributed more than 50 crore gross collection from only kerala centres and this shows the charisma of the megastar.The collecton has indeed uplifted the mallu industry which was huffing and puffing before 2 years"

"The most interesting part comes when one realizes the actual production cost of these movies were below 2.5 crore !!!!! The industry gives all credit to Mammootty as the cost of production of other stars like Mohanlal,Suresh gopi,Dileep,Jayaram and even Mani amazingly is well above 2.5 crores.

Asked about this secret formula, the megastar revealed " Its simple, Appachan (swargachitra) and lal (lal creations) and myself have way back decided that my movies including production cost,print and publicity must never go beyond the stipulated 2.5 crore mark and we have been pretty much success maintaining that figure.This ensures my movies get back its production costs from the main centres and wonderfully my last 6 movies made it with in the first 2 weeks of its release !!! So, you can very well see, there is no question of my movies becoming a disaster in the box office.

Appachan says " I would say Mammootty is the only person in the industry who is aware of the nook and corner of the film-making than anyother contemporary actor. He is determined to pack-up the movie cost below 2.5 crore and knows the way to cover-up the production cost from the main centres. If we had 5 such "thinking-actors" in the industry,we would have reached great heights way back."

Lal replies " Hard-working mentality, patience, sincerity, desire towards your work - all these are needed to survive in this industry and wonderfully Mammootty is well

[edit]Acting career

[edit]Early career (1971–1980)

Mammootty's debut was an uncredited appearance in the 1971 film Anubhavangal Paalichakal (Malayalam: അനുഭവങ്ങള്‍ പാളിച്ചകള്‍) directed by K. S. Sethumadhavan, which starred Sathyan, Prem Nazir and Sheela in the lead roles.^[16] His only scene in the film was being one among a running crowd along with the lead actor Sathyan. Mammootty then was a student at the Maharajas College.

His second film was Kaalachakram (Malayalam: കാലചക്രം), a 1973 Malayalam film directed by K. Narayanan, and starring Prem Nazir andJayabharathi. This was the first dialogued appearance of Mammootty, appearing only in one scene in the film. He acted under the screenname Sajin, but later dropped it.^[17]

His professional film career began in 1979, when he played his first lead role in Devalokam, directed by veteran M. T. Vasudevan Nair. However, this film was never completed.^[2][18]

His next film was the 1980 film, Vilkkanundu Swapnangal (Malayalam: വില്‍ക്കാനുണ്ട് സ്വപ്നങ്ങള്‍), directed by Azad, written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair, and starring Sukumaran in the lead role.^[19] The film featured Mammootty, as an antagonist in a supporting role. Voice for Mammootty in this film was dubbed by Sreenivasan.^{[citation needed]}

Mammootty's first full length character was in the 1980 film Mela (Malayalam: മേള) which was written and directed by K. G. George and starring Raghu and Anjali Naidu as other lead actors. Mammootty played the antagonist in this film.

[edit]Establishing himself (1980–1983)

Mammootty began to establish himself as an actor and as a star through his film of the 1980s viz Sphodanam (directed by P. G. Viswambharan), Thrishna (directed by I.V. Sasi), etc.^[20][21] In 1981, he got his first state award in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in Ahimsa.^[22] His performances in films like Aalkkoottathil Thaniye and Adiyozhukkukal, scripted by M. T. Vasudevan Nair established him as an actor of substance.^[23]The role of a police officer in the investigative thriller Yavanika (1982) directed by K. G. George cemented his position as a hero in Malayalam cinema. The film was a big commercial success and Mammootty's role got rave reviews for its style and dialogue delivery. This was the beginning of a trend whereby Mammootty would play the role of a tough cop in many action and investigative thrillers in the coming years.

[edit]The golden period (1984–1993)

In a period of five years from 1982 to 1986 Mammootty acted in more than 150 films in the lead role.^[19] In 1986 alone, he acted in about 35 films in the lead role.^[18]

The mid of 80s saw a period of tear busting stories in Malayalam film. Most of the films were tragedies. This period featured what later came to be referred to as the 'Mammootty-Kutty-Petty' films. These films had Mammootty as the protagonist, a husband and a father, with a 3–4 year old daughter, and employed in a top ranking post in a company. Mammootty made a comeback with New Delhiand Thaniyavarthanam, both released in 1987. New Delhi was a very important movie in his life as an actor. The film was loosely based on the novel, "The Almighty" by Irving Wallace. His portrayal of a victimized journalist, who systematically took revenge on politicians who flattered him, was noticed and well accepted by the masses. Meanwhile, his role as Balan mash in Thaniyavarthanam, written by Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil, was critically acclaimed.

In 1988 Mammootty delivered one of the biggest hits in the history of Malayalam Cinema with his Oru CBI Diary Kurippu. Oru CBI Diary Kurippu went on to create box-office history in Kerala as well as in Tamil Nadu. Mammootty's role as a CBI officer in this film got him critical acclaim. Following the success of the first CBI film Oru CBI Diary Kurippu, three more murder mystery sequels were produced with the same cast of characters: Jagratha (1989), Sethurama Iyer CBI (2004) and Nerariyan C.B.I (2005), all directed by K. Madhu, penned by S. N. Swamy with Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, an intelligent but unassuming CBI officer. The films by M. T. Vasudevan Nair and Padmarajan, arguably among the best of Malayalam writer-directors, widened Mammootty's acting horizon. Two of M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s films with autobiographical elements were acted by Mammootty. One was Aksharangal directed by I. V. Sasi and the other was Sukrutham directed by Harikumar.

Mammootty touched the pinnacle of his career in Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha; the film was directed by T. Hariharan and penned by M.T.Vasudevan Nair. His depiction of a Chekavar (mercenary warrior) of distinguished valor but vilified by circumstances won him the National Film Award for Best Actor. Along with the huge commercial success of the film, Mammooty was given rave reviews about his lead role in the film, which required heavy physical and psychological preparations. His role as a hunter Varunni in Mrigaya, directed by I.V. Sasi, and another film Mahayanam, was also scanned for the State Award. Mammootty won the Filmfare award for Amaram directed by Bharathan. He played the role of an uneducated fisherman who dreams of making his only daughter a doctor.

During this time, Mammootty appeared in many of the films directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan's. He starred in three of his films, Anantharam ('Thenceforth'), Mathilukal ('Walls') and Vidheyan ('The Servile'). His portrayal of the protagonist in Mathilukal (based on 'Mathilukal', a novel by the ace Malayalam novelist Vaikom Muhammad Basheer) was instrumental in getting him his first National Film Award for Best Actor. Mammootty also portrayed the roles in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Vidheyan and T V Chandran's Ponthan Mada. He received the National Film Award for Best Actor and State Award for his roles in both films. His performance in Valtsalyam directed by Cochin Haneefa was also considered for the State Award. The King, scripted by Renji Panikkar, was released in 1995 and was directed by Shaji Kailas. Mammootty played the central character as a District collector and it turned out to be the biggest hit of the year.

In 1997, he won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for the movie Bhoothakannadi directed by Lohithadas.

Mammootty acted in In 1999, Mammootty won his third national award for Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar, an English language movie about the life of Ambedkar, directed by Jabbar Patel.^[24] The film was sponsored by the National Film Development Corporation of India and the Ministry of Social Justice. The film was released after a long and controversial gestation period.

[edit]1994 to 2000

By the end of 1990s he had films such as Priyadarshan's Megham and Fazil's Harikrishnans in which he co-starred with actor Mohanlal. Due to immense popularity of both the actors, Fazil was forced to use multiple climaxes for the first time in India in Harikrishnans.^[25]

Mammootty started of the decade (2000) with Lohithadas's Arayannagalude Veedu. A critical and commercial success, it earned the Filmfare Best Actor Award for Mammootty.^[26] He portrayed Arackal Madhavanunni in Shaji Kailas's action thriller Valliettan, which was the highest grossing film of the year.^[27]

[edit]Setback (2001–2003)

The period 2001–2003 was of a big setback for Mammootty. In 2001 he acted only in two films one of which, the much hyped Dubai (one of the most expensive films ever made in Malayalam^[28]), was a boxoffice disaster. In 2002, he acted in only three films , none of which was successful. And in 2003 he got to appear only in two films, again without commercial success.

[edit]Comeback (2004–2011)

The 2004 film, the third installment in the CBI series, Sethurama Iyer CBI marked his come back. In 2004, he won the state award for his portrayal of Operator Madhavan in Blessy's Kazhcha. Ranjith'sBlack and V. M. Vinu's Vesham were also successful ventures.^[29]

Sasi's Balram vs. Tharadas, in which he reprised his roles Inspector Balram from the 1991 blockbuster Inspector Balram and Tharadas from the 1984 blockbuster Athirathram. It was I. V. Sasi's 144th film, and a record 35th with Mammootty.^[31] Mammootty’s career graph raised spectacularly after the release of Rajamanikyam directed by debutant Anwar Rasheed.
