Thanks Kannan. What I meant was, it was a sort of passion for me. Still it is. Would definitely will try to talk about those movies.

I think Sumalatha was there in Oru May Masa Pulariyil, though I am not sure of it.

Bharat Gopi became active after certain period of lay off. In his first innings, Kodiyettam was the one which fetched him Bharath award. He was awesome in Ormaikaayee (with Madhavi where he would come as a dumb- a 1981-82 release) and Yavanika (a suspense thriller where he would be a Tabla player Iyappan. Mammootty did a investigating cop role which took him to Super Star levels. This was directed by K.G.George, another off beat director and produced by Henry of Pankaj Productions. Remember Bharathi Kannamma and Marumalarchi? He produced it.). Kaatathe Kilikoodu was another famous movie that had Lal and Revathi in stellar roles. I think that came in Tamil also.

Later Gopi came back with a directorial venture Utsava Pittenu (meaning the day after Utsavam) starring Mohanlal but it didn't do well. He didn't direct thereafter but acted. He did one movie with Mammootty " Paadheyam" (actually produced by him and directed by Bharathan) which was good. But his later day movies did not have any powerful roles for him. He came as Lal's father in a movie Rasathanthiram (directed by Sathyan Anthicaud). That was in 2006 and last year (2207) he did a small role in Mammootty's "Nasrani" and within a matter of months, he passed away. Will try to remember more films of him.

Yes, you are right about thrillers. New Delhi preceded CBI. Though it (New Delhi) was inspired from "The Almighty" novel, it was neatly Indianised. Iyer the Great was a very good movie. The diredtor Bhadran (not to be confused with Bharathan) later could not sustain such standards. I will try to write about such movies, whenever time permits.

Regards
