When
we
take
the
list
of
the
best
actor-director
pairs
of
the
industry,
seldom
we
we
see
this
pair
in
that
list,
despite
the
fact
that
they
had
given
some
excellent
movies
in
the
past.
Yes,
we
are
talking
about
the
Mohanlal
and
Kamal,
who
have
associated
in
7
movies,
so
far.
Each
of
the
movies
from
the
combo
were
quality
ones
and
more
importantly,
most
of
the
movies
were
of
different
genres.
On
this
note,
we
are
take
you
for
a
journey
through
the
memorable
works
of
Mohanlal-Kamal
combo..
Mizhineer
Poovukal
(1986)
Kamal
made
his
directorial
debut
with
this
film,
that
featured
Mohanlal
and
Urvasi
in
the
lead
roles.
The
movie,
in
fact
was
a
much
daring
attempt
with
Mohanlal
portraying
the
role
of
a
womanizer.
Unnikal
Oru
Katha
Parayaam
(1987)
A
beautiful
film
that
would
leave
you
with
a
heavy
heart
at
the
end.
Unnikale
Oru
Katha
Parayaam,
marked
the
second
association
of
Kamal
and
Mohanlal.
The
movie
narrated
the
life
of
a
youngster
named
Aby
Abraham,
who
is
the
guardian
of
some
orphan
kids.
Mohanlal
had
given
an
impeccable
performance
in
this
film.
Orkkapurathu
(1988)
Orkkappurathu,
is
a
real
underrated
gem.
It
is
one
of
those
rare
adventure
filled
movies
that
Malayalam
industry
has
produced.
Nedumudi
Venu
and
Mohanlal
played
the
father
and
son
respectively,
in
this
movie
brilliantly
crafted
by
Kamal.
Mohanlal
had
sported
a
different
for
the
lead
character
Freddy
in
this
movie.
Vishnulokam
(1991)
Remember
the
super
hit
song
'Kasthoori..
Ente
Kasthoori..'?
Yes,
that
song
is
from
the
film
Vishnulokam,
directed
by
Kamal.
Mohanlal
played
the
role
of
Vishnu,
working
with
a
circus
troupe
in
this
film.
The
movie
had
some
real
entertaining
moments
with
the
actor
in
Mohanlal
shining
to
full
extent.
Ulladakkam
(1991)
Ulladakkam,
is
one
of
the
most
acclaimed
works
of
Kamal,
as
a
film-maker.
The
film,
that
surrounded
the
life
of
a
psychiatrist
and
one
of
his
patients,
had
a
memorable
performance
from
Mohanlal.
In
fact,
Mohanlal
and
Kamal
went
on
to
win
the
Kerala
State
Film
Awards
for
the
Best
Actor
and
Director
respectively,
for
the
movie.
Ayaal
Katha
Ezhuthukayaanu
(1998)
Ayaal
Katha
Ezhuthukayaanu
had
Sreenivasan
teaming
up
with
Mohanlal-Kamal
combo.
The
film
had
its
script
written
by
the
actor-writer
and
the
role
of
Sagar
Kottapuram,
a
novelist
with
a
tragic
past,
was
always
safe
in
the
hands
of
Mohanlal.
The
movie
was
a
success
at
the
box
office.
Apart
from
the
above
mentioned
movies,
Mohanlal
had
played
a
very
important
role
in
Kamal's
Peruvannapurathe
Visheshangal,
which
had
Jayaram
in
the
lead
role.
Interestingly,
it
was
with
a
Mohanlal
movie
that
Kamal
made
his
debut
as
a
director
and
his
first
two
movies,
featured
the
complete
actor
in
the
lead
role.
It
was
for
the
1998
movie,
Ayaal
Katha
Ezhuthukayaanu,
that
the
actor
and
the
director
united
previously.
It
has
been
19
years,
since
a
movie
came
from
this
combo.
Well,
let
us
hope
that
the
director
and
actor
would
join
hands
for
a
movie
some
time
in
the
future,
so
that
we
get
to
witness
a
gem,
much
like
their
previous
works.
