Paul
is
making
a
comeback
to
films
with
Major
Ravi's
upcoming
film
which
would
have

the
lead
role.
John
Paul,
is
one
of
the
most
versatile
scriptwriters
in
the
industry
and
his
comeback
is
indeed
a
good
sign
for
Malayalam
cinema.
Here,
we
list
some
of
the
best
works
of
John
Paul,
so
far.
Chamaram
(1980)
Chamaram
directed
by
Bharathan
had
the
script
written
by
John
Paul.
The
film
went
on
to
become
a
trendsetter,
by
narrating
the
story
of
an
affair
between
a
student
and
a
lecturer.
This
was
a
path-
breaking
movie
and
won
great
applause.
Yathra
(1985)
This
definitely
has
to
be
one
of
the
finest
works
of
John
Paul,
so
far.
Yathra
was
a
path-breaking
movie
and
the
film
directed
by
Balu
Mahendra
gave
Mammootty
one
of
his
finest
roles
in
his
initial
days
of
film
career.
The
film
won
both
critical
and
commercial
success.
Palangal
(1981)
Palangal,
which
is
best
remembered
for
the
amazing
craftsmanship
of
director
Bharathan,
was
written
by
John
Paul.
His
amazing
sense
of
characterisations
can
be
noted
through
this
movie.
Oru
Minnaaminunginte
Nurunguvettam
(1987)
John
Paul
yet
gain
showed
his
mastery
by
scripting
the
heart-wrenching
tale
of
an
aged
couple.
This
film
directed
by
Bharathan
went
on
win
two
Kerala
State
Film
Awards.
Vida
Parayum
Munpe
(1981)
This
film
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
best
movies
of
Prem
Nazir.
The
actor
won
the
Special
Jury
Award
at
the
Kerala
State
Film
Awards.
The
film
written
by
John
Paul
was
directed
by
Mohan.
Athirathram
(1984)
This
film
which
narrated
the
story
of
a
smuggler
named
Tharadas
went
on
to
be
a
huge
success.
Many
don't
know
that
this
film
directed
by
I
V
Sasi
had
its
script
written
by
John
Paul.
John
Paul
has
so
far
penned
screenplays
for
nearly
100
movies
and
by
all
means
we
could
call
him
a
master
writer.
His
association
with
the
renowned
director
Bharathan
has
given
some
evergreen
classics
to
Malayalam
cinema.
The
scripts
written
by
John
Paul
has
provided
solid
content
for
many
of
the
Bharathan
movies.
More
importantly,
what
makes
John
Paul
different
from
other
writers,
is
his
versatility.
He
has
shown
his
skills
in
writing
dramas,
action
thrillers
and
even
comedies,
with
the
same
amount
of
perfection.
It
is
after
a
gap
of
9
years
that
the
writer
is
making
a
comeback
to
the
film
industry.
His
previous
outing
as
a
writer
in
films
like
Vellathooval
directed
by
I
V
Sasi
and
Nammal
Thammil
directed
by
Viji
Thampy,
were
unforgettable.
The
upcoming
Major
Ravi
movie
is
said
to
be
a
family
drama.
We
hope
that
the
master
writer
would
make
a
thunderous
comeback
and
would
continue
to
amaze
us
with
some
fine
works.
