Swagatham 1989

Imagine a Malayalam movie without Mohanlal or Mammootty.

Imagine a coastline with friends hanging out all the time.

Imagine a story about friendships and general fun without fights and villians.

That is Swagatham movie. A 1989 film with an extensive star cast. With Jagathi's histrionics not-withstanding, there is romance and hey! you can choose which one you want - the sweet and shy kind which Parvathy and Asokan share or the serious one which Urvashi feels later on.

A story about friends, young guns ,youth and their immature nature but true feelings, Swagatham takes you back to your college days and the time when chatting meant meeting for an icecream rather than feeling a 'ping' vibration in your pocket from your android phone.

Oru Sayahnathinte Swapnam 1989

A breezy movie about  elders,a girl and many human bonds.

There is an elder care house run by Madhu and along comes Suhasini. A happy girl who only knows to care. She shows how elderly care should be done. Soon she creates bonds with the oldies.

Oru Sayahnathinte Swapnam focuses on woman's ability other than cooking,crying etc ,the latter,shown usually in malayalam movies. Also its another movies which an actress wholly owns with sheer brilliance.

Not a muscle wrenching hero but a lady who rules hearts.

A scene where the oldies put up a hunger fast for the girl. In a country and an era where men are were given importance.






Watch it for a twist in the story where romance goes on a different track and a very touching ending.
