An epic movie by all means and same is the case of Mohanlal's performance in the film. One cannot imagine anyone else in the shoes of the character of Govardhan.

Disappointingly, he didn't even receive a special mention for his performance at the National level.

Thanmathra (2005)

Mohanlal as Rameshan in Thanmathra was nothing less than brilliant. He had to do the different stages of Rameshan with utmost naturalism, which he pulled it off with ease. His depiction of a patient affected by Alzheimer disease won a lot of praises for the actor in him. In the race for the National Awards he lost to Amitabh Bachchan, who won the award for his performance in the movie Black.

Pranayam (2011)
