"Mohanlal - The Phenomenal & Natural Actor"

"Mohanlal - The Phenomenal actor"

I always saw his versatility in five different ways. Let me list some performances.

1. T.P Balagopalan MA, Naadodikaattu, Kireedom - Considered as Mohanlal's strength, The Common Man. Today many young actors find it extremely difficult to portray such roles.

2. Sadayam, Vaanaprastham, Iruvar - Mohanlal has been criticized slightly for carrying his charisma (known as Lalism among his fans) in most of his characters. So we tend to see more of Mohanlal than the character. But I believe they forgot to analyze characters in Sadayam, Vaanaprastham, Iruvar etc etc where Mohanlal suspended the so called "Lalism (word for his onscreen charisma)" and gave a different style of performance and yet able to justify the character in the best way possible by any actor.

3. Priyadarshan's romantic comedies/slapstick comedies - The ultimate dream for any commercial actor who follows Mohanlal's path. Priyadarshan used both Mohanlal the actor as well as the star quite well for his movies. Taking full advantage of Mohanlal's amazing comic timing and mixing it well with his ability to perform in romantic scenes gave a pleasant feeling to the audience while watching Priyadarshan films. Regarding slapstick comedies, I have already mentioned Mazha Peyyunnu Maddhalam Kottunnu.

4. Raajavinte Makan, Naaduvaazhikal - This isn't exactly challenge for an actor like Mohanlal. But here the directors preferred to give him roles which could ensure box office success more than critical acclaim. But yet the directors ensured the fact that they didn't go beyond a limit with his stardom and always provided space for Mohanlal the actor to do something. I still wondered.. whats so special about the "Rajumon ennodu choodichu... My NO is 2255... Sagar Alias Jacky"... Maybe his acting skills along with his sound modulation made those lines special along with the scenes/build up. But be it Jacky or Vincent, again he successfully portrayed and made the audience make believe once again.

5. Devasuram, Spadikam - I didn't add along with the list of action commercial films because they weren't exactly such films. Neelakantan of Devasuram introduced a new face of Masculinity to the Malayalam Film Industry. Many got inspired by that character and this inspiration is mainly due to the portrayal of that character by Mohanlal. Checkout the scene where he threatens the police. We have seen such scenes in movies many times but this time it was kinda different. It looked more believable than previous ones. This ensured the fact Mohanlal succeeded in portraying that role that too in midst of an era when he did romantic comedies and characters which are totally positive.

Mohanlal is so natural actor

Many of his fans and film lovers wondered about this aspect of his acting. They asks the same question to themselves and to many other how this actor can be so natural compared to all other actors in the Indian film history or even in worldwide scene. Mohanlal has been hailed as the most natural actor our country has ever seen and even great like Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan admires this genius for his unbelievably natural portrayal of characters and fantabulous flexibility and Range he possess. According to the greats in our Indian film Industry Mohanlal is a born actor and he is not at all acting he is just behaving as a character. To behave as different character is the most difficult thing to do in front of the camera and he does it simply like plucking a flower.

Director Priyadarshan recalls one incident in which the Late film maker , one of the greatest in Indian Cinema Mr. Balachander said about Mohanlal and he hasa view about why Mohanlal has been so natural which others can only dream of. Priyadarshan says that incident to us. Once Priyadarshan and Balachander came out of the theater after watching Priyadarshan’s film ‘Chithram’ which turned out to be the classic of Mollywood which has the record of the film which had run highest number of days in theaters with regular shows in Kerala and it happens to be 366 days.

After coming out from the theater Balachander asked him his view about the difference between the acting of Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan. When said he don’t know much about it then the maestro Balachander said that Kamal Haasan acts in a way that he is always conscious about the camera in front of him and we can see it in his face. But Mohanlal acts in way that there is no camera at all in front him and he behaves as if the camera is hidden somewhere and filming what he enacts. That is why we feel that he is so natural and he never over acts as well. Even in highly dramatic scenes we get the most subtle expressions from Mohanlal and he is such a genius in that.

But Priyadarshan says that Mohanlal has a different take on this. Mohanlal says that when the actor who is standing opposite him is performing well he also raise up to that level. But if the co-actor goes bad it may affect his performance as well. In any case we all know that Mohanlal is the best ever actor India has ever produced and even greats will testify for that.

Shri Mohanlal was conferred the prestigious Padma Bhushan award by President Shri Ram Nath Kovind 2019.

In my opinion, If an actor can brilliantly carry off these five kind of roles along with some roles like Kamaladalam, Yodha, Raajashilpi which demanded  physical flexibility, he should be one helluva versatile actor.

 This is where Mohanlal simply outshone his contemporaries and got a special place in people's mind. He became a raging success and created fans among film viewers as well as in his colleagues both from his industry as well as outside Malayalam Film Industry who don't watch Malayalam Movies regularly.

Sharing details of his meeting with PM Shri Narendra Modiji , Mohanlal said that he briefed the prime minister about ViswaSanthi Foundation and its multi-faceted social initiatives (Mohanlal/Twitter) 

Till today Shri Mohanlal hasn't cleared his political affiliations. Yes it is true that the ngo he started “Vishwashanti Foundation “ is suported by swayamsevak of  SevaBharti (  RSS )  but that doesn't mean he is a BJP supporter. As far his political stance is considered, he has the same right as us to choose whichever political party he likes to support, even if that means supporting BJP.

Genius Actor of our nation great follower ideology of Rss in his life.

Great Salute Shri Mohanlal & His NGO 

ViswaSanthi Foundation
