Name: Manathe Vellitheru
Genre: Drama
Released: 1994-11-11
Duration: 2 h 20 min
Rating: 6.1
Cast: Mukesh, Vineeth, Sreenivasan

When I say collage, it is a mix of superb acting by vineeth, mukesh, sreeni, shobhana and co; superb dialogues and screenplay; heartwarming music and a fantastic direction. You will not be bored a single minute you are watching this movie. However, I do not know why this movie was a box office flop. Maybe it was because it is a 'superstar-absentee'.

Hats off to Vineeth, who puts down a fantastic performance, may be the only unforgettable psycho-performance in Malayalam.The plot is about a professional dancer played by Shobhana being stalked by a stranger, Vineeth. Mukesh and Sreenivasan are the inspectors in charge of this case. They search for the stranger's motive and delves deep into his mind. What they find makes the story more interesting.

This is one of those movies which flow. You tend to go along with the stream. In fact, towards the end, my eyes were full of tears, happy tears. This is a must watch if u want to watch a Malayalam movie in an international mould.
