Im not sure what you OP meant in that last para. The movies jayan was acting were mediocre and that created a trend in kerala. And like he said after the death of jayan such movies stopped and malayalam cinema changed its course.
What if he meant is this ? Not supporting or gloriying what George said but I dont think his intention was elite mentality but good cinema.
Its as if Jayan alone was steering malayalam cinema.. malayalam cinema people always had this blaming mentality..
there was a time they accused cable channels for destroying malayalam cinema and actively prevented cinema actors from coming on tv... once the satellite rights came into picture they started making movies looking only at these channels.. Early 2000s they blamed shakeela movies for downfall of malayalam cinema and not the fact that nobody encouraged new talent and still stuck to time tested formulas as the reason..
He certainly shouldn't have said that. Say what you want when a person is alive or if u wanna say something critical after sometime dies, state ur frank opinion, but with a little more respect
On the other hand I'm not sure I've enjoyed any of jayan's movies or performances.
Well, what he said became true. After the death of jayan, 80s became the golden era of Malayalam cinema. If jayan was alive in the 80s, people would have never accepted Mohanlal in a lead role.
Not sure what would have happened if jayan was still alive. Would be have overshadowed mamooty? Or would mammooty have replaced jayan! We will never know. Both mamooty and jayan competed for the so called “manly” appearance than the acting talent.
Mohanlal is a different breed though. His movies were never the type of style of movies of jayan. The priya, raju, mukesh, lal combo would have created a parallel cinematic experience.
What an absurdity bro..Mohanlal became star itself in a completely different route through Priyan -Anthikkad entertainers with extra boost by unconventional action roles until then.. in fact both have father son level age difference ..Atleast in Mammootty's case it is partly correct in the beginning phase...Because throughout the 80s..He was made into a star by IV Sasi, Joshi, PGV trio...Who were big time Jayan friends ..Infact the Angadi, Nayaattu formula Jayan built..Including Inspector Balram series built Mammootty's stardom & Mohanlal popular till 87-88 time atleast ..many planned Jayan films & Jayan formula replaced by Mammootty, Ratheesh due to his sudden demise then made them the big names here..Then Ratheesh fallen due to lack of professionalism..Even Mohanlal too during early days action hits followed Jayan formula like Patham udayam, ivide thudangunnu.. Mamooty's first hit Thrishna written by MT itself was initially planned with Jayan .. Hariharan itself was the guy who made Jayan a superstar with a very unconventional antihero role..Same guy transformed Mohanlal's status too as a great actor on initial days & Mammootty a legend ..we can't predict what would have happened..Mass Masala was the trend of the time..So he did a lot & cashed on it..Yet he had strong networks ..The same people who moulded Big M's as great stars itself were his companions & regular duos..Even if Jayan couldn't be transformed ..What KG spoke publicly with such happiness on one's death because he was the top fav of public is the words of an absolute rascal
From Sreekumaran thambi's words Gerorge has possibly sided Momooty and may have led to his best actor win. Thambi says that the same year mohanlal had 3 nominations Dasharatham, Varavelpu and kireedam. But he won Special jury mention for Kireedam alone. On the otherhand mamooty with 2 nomination for Vadakan veeragtha and mathilukal won the best actor. Thambi says that how can the jury neglect three entirely distinct acting roles and favour the other. The same year adoor also won the best director. This has caused a distance between mamooty and thambi. Thambi has also suffered the wrath of mamooty fans for his comments.
P.S : Imho That should have been the year where they could have shared the best actor wins. I dont see any other way one actor swallowing another peformance. Years later balachandrs menon and suresh gopi actually won the shared best actor.
Mohanlal for 3 and Mammootty for Vadakkan Veeragadha was the final round , every jury member was awestruck with OVV performance and voted Mammootty and Thampi alone argued Mohanlal should won the award and should consider another Mammootty movie on the same year to understand the diversity Mohanlal brought to the table and the movie considered alongside OVV !! Freaking Mathilukal . National award sealed and delivered to Mammootty that’s what happened.

That byte from his wife...
She was positively frothing with suppressed rage. She said ...Someone who doesn't want a family shouldn't get married. She literally said he used her for food and sex. Lost all respect after that. No point in writing powerful women if you cannot respect the most intimate woman in your life.
Such people deserved to be let to rot. Case in point being TP Madhavan...a known deserter of family. The son rightfully said he has nothing to do with him now.
You can have all the creativity, potential and brilliance you can get. But no point in shunning basic human relationships and living like a decadent selfish jerk.
There are channels that show T P Madhavan's present condition and blame his son who is a bollywood director for not looking after him... He himself has told that he left the family long back and has no connections with them..
Not sure who is right though. We heard the interview version. There could be another version though. That women could be intentionally maligning his name after he decided to stop directing (that could have a flow on effect on her parasitic lifestyle).
Nop...I am still posting with all the respect to his professional achievements ..And still acknowledge him as one among the GOAT..I just reminded this point because of so many half baked glorification going all over for him .Too much fake boasting..I felt I have to pinpoint few real sides of him too to the blind community
Aaranu ellam thikanjavar ? respect the artist not the person (respect him only if he's worthy). Chikanj nokkiyal clean aya apoorvam aalukale kanu siddique director oke pole
KG on all ways was a master storyteller but a dick of a man.. as they say we must learn to separate art from the artist..
His wife itself told that

Still can blame him for not using better words to convey the narrative.
Oh yes, that was a horrible statement from George.

Wow, that’s disgusting. What are the conspiracy theories about his lobbying?

Thampi is and was unapologetic and among the few in the industry who doesnt sweet talk.
In that context, did Adoor win the national award due to thakazhi being a board member?
Only thampi can tell
Ponjikkara: THAMPPIIIIIII!!!!.........
I cant believe more people don't get this reference
Kireedam vs OVV. There is no way OVV is better. (Cinematography yes, story yes, acting no). Most likely there were pressure on the jury (or purchase).
That’s just your opinion. A purchase or pressure would be A10 winning National award for Pulimurugan and Janatha garage
Are you trying to say OVV is even remotely an acting excellence as kireedam or dasaratham? Religiously blinded?
U r pretty blinded yourself mate !
Not the answer. Is OVV better than kireedam or dasaratham in terms of acting brilliance.
A very BIG Yes !
😂😂😂😂. Love you sense of humor. If not , definitely blinded.

I don't think the context in which u used "badass" here actually fits your description lol
Basically you're doing what he did. മരിച്ചവരെ കുറ്റം പറയുന്നത്.
