Govardhan
(Kaalapani)
Mohanlal
delivered
one
of
the
finest
performances
of
his
career
in
Priyadarshan's
Kaalapani.
The
movie
explored
the
story
of
Govardhan,
a
freedom
fighter
and
a
strong
follower
of
the
Ahimsa
(non-violence)
ideology.
He
ends
up
in
the
cellular
jail
of
Port
Blair,
which
is
infamously
known
as
Kaalapani.
Govardhan
is
one
of
those
movie
characters
which
fill
our
hearts
with
patriotism
and
pride.
Kerala
Varma
Pazhassi
Raja
(Pazhassi
Raja)
Mammootty
once
again
proved
his
amazing
capability
in
handling
historical
characters,
by
playing
the
titular
character
Kerala
Varma
Pazhassi
Raja
in
Hariharan's
popular
movie
Pazhassi
Raja.
The
actor
simply
excelled
as
the
king
of
Kottayam,
who
fought
against
the
British
in
18th
century.
Mammootty's
dialogues
from
the
movie
(penned
by
veteran
writer
MT
Vasudevan
Nair)
are
still
widely
celebrated
by
film
lovers.
Captain
Shyam
Mohan
Varma
(Kashmeeram)
Suresh
Gopi
was
just
brilliant
in
the
role
of
Captain
Shyam
Mohan
Varma,
a
commando
from
NSG,
in
the
Rajiv
Anchal
directorial Kashmeeram.
Even
though
the
movie
is
completely
forgotten
now,
we
can't
deny
the
fact
that
Capt.
Shyam
Mohan
is
one
of
the
top
Malayalam
movie
characters
which
are
strong
patriots
at
heart.
The
patriotic
dialogues
mouthed
by
Suresh
Gopi
in
the
movie
still
give
us
goosebumps.
Dada
Mohammed
Sahib
(Dada
Sahib)
Mammootty
appeared
in
a
double
role,
as
veteran
freedom
fighter
Dada
Mohammed
Sahib
and
son
Subedar
Mohammed
Abubacker
in
Vinayan's
Dada
Sahib.
Among
the
two
roles,
the
titular
character
Dada
Sahib
(the
strong
patriot
whose
ideologies
are
questioned
after
his
son
gets
arrested
on
the
false
charges
of
espionage
and
terrorist
activity)
totally
made
a
mark
with
his
love
and
loyalty
for
the
country.
Major
Mahadevan
(Keerthi
Chakra
&
Sequels)
Mohanlal
played
Major
Mahadevan,
a
brave
soldier
in
the
Major
Ravi
directorial
and
its
sequels.
Mahadevan
can
even
sacrifice
the
lives
of
his
beloved
wife
and
child
during
his
fight
for
the
country.
But
he
never
compromises
with
his
duty
and
patriotism.
The
character
appeared
in
all
the
four
installments
of
the Keerthi
Chakra franchise.
Major
Mahadevan
might
make
a
comeback
with
yet
another
film
very
soon.
