Mohanlal
has
two
big
reasons
to
smile
today.
First
big
reason
is
because
of
the
release
of
his
much
anticipated
movie
1971
Beyond
Borders
and
the
next
one
came
in
the
form
of
the
announcement
64th
National
Film
Awards.
The
actor
has
won
a
special
jury
award
for
his
performances
in
the
films
Pulimurugan,
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
and
Janatha
Garage.
Fans
of
Mohanlal
and
the
Malayalam
film
audiences
are
busy
celebrating
the
actor's
achievement.
But,
criticisms
have
also
started
pouring
in
for
neglecting
the
likes
of
actors
like
Vinayakan
and
Fahadh
Faasil.
In
fact,
many
are
of
the
opinion
that
Mohanlal's
performance
in
the
films
Pulimurugan,
Janatha
Garage
and
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
are
not
worth
the
National
Film
Awards.
Trollers
in
social
media
have
already
taken
up
this
as
the
hot
topic.
Mohanlal
is
not
new
to
National
Film
Awards.
He
has
won
the
title
for
the
Best
Actor
two
times
in
the
past
and
had
also
recieved
a
Special
Jury
Award
for
his
peformance
in
the
film
Kireedom
in
the
year
1989.
There
might
be
two
opinions
regarding
the
actor's
win
at
the
64th
National
Film
Awards.
But,
there
were
certain
instances
when
he
was
neglected
at
the
award
circuits,
when
he
truly
deserved
it
and
most
of
you
out
there
would
completely
agree
to
that
fact.
Here,
we
list
of
the
5
movies
for
which
Mohanlal,
truly
deserved
the
National
Film
Award.
Read
on..
Sadayam
(1992)
Mohanlal's
performance
in
Sadayam
still
stands
as
one
of
the
most
underrated
performances
of
the
actor.
He
got
to
play
the
role
of
Satyanathan,
a
convict
who
is
about
to
be
hanged.
Words
would
be
less
to
describe
his
performance,
which
was
subtle
yet
effective.
Kalapani
(1996)
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.
The
actor
in
him
had
to
do
comedy,
emotional
and
powerful
sequences
alike
and
Mohanlal
was
successful
in
doing
all
these
without
any
hiccups.
Iruvar
(1997)
The
audiences
all
over
the
world
got
to
witness
the
amazing
acting
talent
of
Mohanlal
through
this
film,
directed
by
Mani
Ratnam.
His
portrayal
of
Anandan,
is
by
far
one
of
his
finest
performances
onscreen.
Truly,
the
magical
charisma
of
Mohanlal,
the
acting
legend,
was
well
explored
in
this
movie.
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)
It
is
so
disappointing
to
know
that
the
actor
in
Mohanlal,
hasn't
received
due
recognition
for
his
performance
in
this
film,
which
is
one
of
the
actor's
best
of
this
decade.
Mohanlal
played
the
role
of
a
stroke
survivor
in
the
film
and
we
got
to
know
why
he
is
called
the
complete
actor.
