Gopinatha
Menon
In
Kathavasheshan
By
far,
this
is
one
of
the
most
underrated
performances
of
the
actor.
The
film
came
in
at
a
time
when
Dileep
was
ruling
the
industry
as
the
hero
of
entertainers.

of
Gopinatha
Menon
was
safe

the
untapped
abilities
of
the
actor
in
him.
Shanthanu
In
Arike
Arike,
directed
by
Shyamaprasad,
had
Dileep
in
the
role
of
a
researcher
named
Shanthanu.
The
role
is
definitely
one
of
the
best
in
Dileep's
career
so
far.
The
character
wasn't
a
complicated
one
and
the
actor
had
to
display
some
subtle
emotions,
without
going
overboard.
Dileep,
did
that
with
ease.
Check
out
the
climax
sequence
of
the
film
to
know
the
brilliance
of
the
actor.
Aravindan
In
Chakkaramuthu
While
his
performance
in
films
like
Chanthupottu,
Kunjikoonan
etc.,
are
talked
about
quite
often,
most
of
the
critics
have
turned
a
blind
eye
towards
his
phenomenal
performance
in
the
film
Chakkaramathu.
Dileep
got
in
to
the
skin
of
the
character
and
handled
comedy
and
emotions
with
ease.
Josutty
In
Life
Of
Josutty
His
role
of
Josutty
from
the
film
travels
through
different
phases
of
life.
It
is
always
difficult
for
an
actor
to
look
convincing
in
such
roles.
But,
Dileep
pulled
off
the
role
with
ease.
The
actor
definitely
deserved
an
applause
for
the
performance
in
the
film.
Roopesh
Nambiar
In
Love
24×7
The
film,
despite
of
being
a
good
one
couldn't
make
it
big
at
the
box
office.
The
character
of
Roopesh
Nambiar
played
by
Dileep
in
the
film
is
one
of
the
most
realistic
roles
played
by
the
actor
in
the
recent
times.
The
actor
was
cent
percent
convincing
as
a
journalist
and
gave
a
controlled
and
matured
performance.
Ajith
Thomas
In
Calcutta
News
Calcutta
News
wasn't
a
big
box
office
success.
But,
Dileep
portrayed
the
role
of
a
journalist
named
Ajith
Thomas,
with
perfection.
The
character
was
quite
different
from
the
ones
that
he
used
to
do
in
those
days
but
still,
he
managed
to
cakewalk
through
the
role.
Most
of
the
films
from
the
above
list
couldn't
make
it
big
at
the
box
office.
But,
the
above
films,
did
show,
how
versatile
an
actor
Dileep
is.
Recently,
the
actor
was
seen
in
internationally
acclaimed
film-maker
Adoor
Gopalakrishnan's
film
Pinneyum,
in
which
the
actor
handled
a
very
different
role.
The
actor
would
be
next
seen
in
the
upcoming
film
Georgettan's
Pooram,
in
which
the
actor
would
be
seen
in
the
title
role.
The
film
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
during
the
Christmas
season.
