Kilukkam

This was one of the very few movies that me and my dad watched together in a theater. Dad’s idea of going to movies was to wait till everyone else had seen a movie and listen to their comments,
before wasting (in his words) his hard-earned cash on the whole theatre-going experience.

I must count my lucky stars coz enough people had convinced Dad to have a look at this movie. So off we went to the Safire theatre (now a rotting eyesore on the prime Mount Road real estate). After inhaling the smell of popcorn that other Dad’s were buying for their kids (Dad are you listening :p), we popped into the theatre.

What I saw in the theatre is still my benchmark for top-class comedy.

The story is as old as the hills - a loser (Mohanlal) who lives off his photographer friend (Jagathy) making a living as a guide for the tourists at Ooty. He dreams of making it big one day and is always on the look out for a quick buck.

When a seemingly well-to-do outsider (Revathy) comes to Ooty, he thinks his life is made. He takes her around and starts bragging to his friends about how wealthy he is going to be because of her.

All his dreams come crashing down, when he realises that she is mentally challenged.
He tries desperately to get rid of her, but she always finds her way back. She ferrets out their hidden cache of food - "Vecha kozhi da manam" ( I can smell cooked chicken, she says) and generally makes their life a misery.

Then suddenly they realise that her relatives are searching for her. But not for the right reasons. To keep her safe, they get her to work at the home of a cantankerous retired judge (Thilakan in a marvellous role).

Who is this girl? Is she really retarded? Why does she bond so very well with the judge.

Watch this movie to learn more.



Why do I like this movie? As I said earlier, the comedy here is top class. Whether it is Mohanlal and Jagathy doing their usual Laurel and Hardy routine, or the master-servant banter between Thilakan and his man Friday Innocent or ofcourse Revathy’s antics in her mental phase.

Some of the scenes in this movie are ever green classics. You will see them almost on a daily basis in any of the comedy serials. Sample a few here..

1) Revathy breaks stuff in the hotel and tells Mohanlal that her uncle - the Prime Minister of Angamali will pay for the damages. Watch for Mohanlal’s expression - priceless. Angamali is a small town in Kerala.
2) Mohanlal trying to get rid of Revathy by taking her to the Suicide point and promising her that God will turn the whole hillside to chocolate icecream. Ofcourse she still finds her way back.
3) Revathy smelling out their hidden chicken fry and eating the whole of it.
4) Revathy convincing Innocent that he has won the mega-lottery. Innocent bad mouths his boss (Thilakan) and leaves the job. He has to slink back later when he realises that he has not won the lottery after all.

WATCH SOME BEAUTIFUL MOMENT >>>>>
