The other day I was watching Hitchcock's "Vertigo", and somewhere in the middle it started striking me that I have seen these scenes before. Where was it?. Towards the end it became very clear where it was, "Mannar Mathai Speaking"!!. Till now, I thought that Priyadarshan was the only director who maintains a very good collection of English movies. Now Sidiq-lal!. Copy "Vertigo" and call it "Mannar Mathai"!!... what a ripper.
The pioneer of this art has always been Priyadarshan. All the way, starting from Boeing Boeing(Boeing Boeing), Talavattom(One flew over the cuckoo's nest) to Nirnayam(The Fugitive), Kakkakuyil(loosely A Fish Called Wanda) and to his latest Malamaal Weekly. Over time, I believe he should get an honorary Oscar, for having watched and copied so many Hollywood movies. And others also chipped in... Ayushkalam(The Ghost), Life is beautiful(Dead poet's society), etc
I am not saying we should not copy good movies from elsewhere or get "inspired" by them. Infact, that is a good thing to do, bringing world cinema to Malayalam. But taking a psychological thriller like Vertigo and distorting it and making it a sub-plot of a comedy movie is simply un-acceptable. "Mannar Mathai" is a nothing movie, just a comedy flick, achieving nothing what Hitchcock wanted to convey and portray with the original. Maybe the producer was pushing Sidiq-lal too hard for a sequel to Ramji Rao, and they happened to rent the Vertigo CD, and got "inspired"!
Again Talavattam... scene by scene lift, but when it came to the scenes which mattered, the ripper destroyed it altogether. Where Jack Nicholson's character is put into a comma for standing up against the asylum authorities (for attacking the nurse who mentally demoralises and forces his friend to commit suicide), Mohanlal is put into a comma for having loved the doctor's daughter!!, how unimaginative... And "One flew..." ends with full of hope, "the Chief" who has been silent all this time, gets up, smothers Jack Nicholson (and does this with a smile in his face... yes a smile) shatters the hospital window and runs away to freedom, while Talavattam ends so hopelessly, we see Kartika becoming insane ...how dumb!. Still we remember Talavattam as one of the very good movies in malayalam. That's just the genius of a Lal and a Nedumudi. The silliness of the plot is very evident in the way Kyun KI bombed in the box_office last year.
So cutting short, moral of the story... Please do copy and get "inspired", if you can't be creative. But then please do it the Ram Gopal Varma way, acknowledge, copy to the full, and do not give us half baked "Indianised" versions.
I have not seen his malayalam movies, have seen some of his tamizh ones but feel his earlier movies like muskurahat, gardish and doli sajaa ke rakhna(the last one being an unfortunate flop) were much more unadulterated than his later ones, may be, him not earning success then made him change his approach.

Thiruvananthapuram: Confusion continued over the winner of the Rs 12 crore Kerala Lotteries Onam bumper, after a Dubai resident Sayed Alavi, who hails from Wayanad, said he was the owner of the ticket. The lottery result was announced on Sunday evening.

The distance between Tripunithura and Wayanad is around 280 kms.Incidentally, the draw of the lucky winner was overseen by two State Ministers on Sunday evening and the winning ticket's number was announced.
Soon after over a dozen TV channels got down to find the owner of the ticket and the only information which they had was it was sold from Tripunithura. Social media also joined in locating the owner issue.
On Monday morning, the wait got over when the TV channels showed the winner and said it was Alavi.
"Yes, I am the winner of the ticket and I took the ticket through my friend, who is from Kozhikode and paid the money online. I spoke to my family and my friend said later on Monday the winning ticket will be handed over to my family in Wayanad," said Alavi.
So far, Alavi's friend has not come out before the public.
Expressing happiness, Alavi said he will build a house of his own as presently he doesn't have one. Alavi has been working in Dubai as an assistant cook in a hotel for the past 11 years.
Back home at his rented house in Wayanad, his family members are perplexed by the windfall. "I have no clue and only when my husband called me and passed the news that the ticket he has purchased has won the first prize, we came to know about it," said his wife.
Now all eyes are on Alavi's friend as it was he who according to Alavi had purchased the ticket. All are waiting to hear from him the details, like when he purchased the ticket as the place is more than 200 kms away from Kozhikode, where he does his own business.
