Biju Menon In Leela

Well, to portray Kuttiyappan, a man with peculiar characteristics wouldn't have been an easy job. Biju Menon made Kutiyappan memorable in his own style and gave his cent percent for the character. But, due to the initial backlash that the movie received, even his performance went unnoticed.

Dulquer Salmaan In Kali

Here is an actor who is growing with each passing movie. While the actor was praised for his performance in the film Kammatipaadam, less was talked about his portrayal of Siddharth in Kali. Siddharth is a young man, who struggles with anger management issues and it definitely wasn't an easy role to play. Dulquer Salmaan gave a measured performance without going overboard in any of the sequences.

Fahadh Faasil In Monsoon Mangoes

In Monsoon Mangoes, Fahadh Faasil portrayed the role of Abi, a person who dreams to make a film. It wouldn't be wrong if it is said that his performance in this film was a notch above of that in Maheshinte Prathikaaram. There were certain sequences in the film, which proved the brilliance and versatility of Fahadh Faasil. But, neither the film nor his performance was much talked about.

Biju Menon In Swarna Kaduva

If you want to measure the acting capabilities of Biju Menon, you ought to watch this film. Swarna Kaduva, the movie had its own limitations, but Biju Menon with his magnificent performance, carried the movie on his shoulders. He was spot on as Rini Iype Maattummel, a person with extreme negative shades. He definitely deserves a huge round of applause for making the character memorable one.

Kunchacko Boban In Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho

In 2016, Kunchacko Boban was praised for his performance in the movie Vettah. But, it has to be said that his performance in the film Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho was overlooked. The role of Kochavva wasn't something out of the box, but we did see a different Kunchacko Boban in the movie. Be it the dialogue delivery or the body language, Kunchacko Boban looked extremely confident in that role.

Asif Ali In Anuraga Karikkin Vellam

Asif Ali In Anuraga Karikkin Vellam

We got to see a different Asif Ali in 2016. After a lackluster start, he bounced back with Anuraga Karikkin Vellam. Well, the film was one of the best movies of 2016 and much was talked about the performances of Rajisha Vijayan, Biju Menon etc. But, many forgot to notice that we got to see a different Asif Ali in this film. It was a controlled performance from the actor and his reaction in the scene where he receives a slap from his father, proves how good an actor he is.

Well, the reasons are aplenty for such performances to get noticed. Rating of a performance surely depends on the taste and the analytic sense of the viewers.

More importantly, the box office success of a film and overall quality of a movie also play due importance while rating a performance.

Above listed performances have been less talked about, so far. With many award functions coming in, we hope that these actors and their performances would get their due credit.
