Hi Guys,If I may interfere, towards his end Bharathan was trying to cope with a huge financial burden and was forced to take movies targeted at a larger audience,like Tamil and Telugu.He died with a huge debt burden,which his widow and actress K.P.A.C Lalita payed back with hard work and dignity.She even had to sell the house which was his dream.

I hold 'Devaragam',a good movie.I have watched most of their movies and believe,'Thakara' was a great film,where both
worked together [It was in this movie, Nedumudi Venu played 'Chellappanassari',which still remains one of his memorable characters].

It was very adventurous for Padmarajan to take a movie like 'Njan Gandharvan',but great artistes take that risk.I admire them both and can't see a bad movie by any of them,except Churam.I still believe Bharathan was forced to do that movie.May be I am biased,but I am one of those people who remeber them both even after they pass away,just for their work.Their work was revolutionary and brought subjects that have not been thought about so far by script writers or directors[Take for example,'Rathi nirvedam].

Both Padmarajan and Bharathan were legendary for Malayalam Cinema.They led Malayalam film field to great heights,while their resources were very much limited compared to the other languages' film industries.
