Commercial films are not the yard sticks for assessing the quality of acting. Just take a look at any of the classics by Mohanlal. [any one will do]. If you are a person who appreciates true acting, you will be able to understand what I meant. Good body shape or beauty does not guarantee quality of acting. It is an inborn quality and very few in India possess that quality.

He was the best but not now. He is acting in mediocre films and making his name bad. Let him act in some films that have good scripts or else in art movies or else he should stop acting

He is a good actor on story based movies where dancing or fighting or even running is not needed. Lately, his acting is also degrading but always a good actor who can make you laugh or cry.

Mr.Happy Friday watch 'kamaladalaam' u can c how a real dancer looks like...he has not studied dancing but he worked it out for the film ..thats is acting...if smebody from hs chilhood studied dancing or karate and doing the same infront of camera is not a verastile acting but someboby doing it for a sting that is acting or determination to do something for the role...in malayalam industry among the stars he is most flexible fighting acording to most stunt masters...

i would like to see the film, i'd like to see his dance, must be something like the dance of a hippo and elephant cross breed!
you senseless dumbheads, dont go by mohan lal's belly. havent you seen police officers who have bellies? forget about mohan lal's belly..he is 6ft tall..the damn salman khan is a lilliput acted as a police officer in dabangg which went on to be a hit. lal was excellent as a police officer in company. there is a scene in dabangg where salman's shirt gets torn because of his muscles increasing manifold instantaneously. i guess we need to start jokes on salman instead of rajni. and dont tell me govinda has a fit body. grow up and try to achnowledge and appreciate the excellence of artists irrespective of which part of the country they come from.

you are right dear....i don't know why my north indian friends are still in a dream world....what is there in the bollywood , tamil and telugu..movies....simply we can say it as a masala movies...where there is nothing to perform....cinema is a field where u need to act, its not a body show....mohanlal is a actor who won four national awards..may be you people don't have any knowledge about national awards.he is a living legend of indian cinema.. or Amitabh Bachan, he is the finest actor in the country. For RGV, he is the Robert De Niro of Indian screen. For Time magazine, he is India's answer to Marlon Brando. For Kamal Haasan, he is the most flexible actor in India.
He is the first actor to be honored with the prestigious Lieutenant Colonel Post from Indian Army.
Awarded honorary doctorate degree by the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit.

all says mohanlal won 4 national awards, but i only know that he won that for 'Bharatham' and 'Vanaprastham', which is produced by him to get the award only when malayalam star Mammotty won his third National Award for 'Dr Ambedkar'
Re: Re: Ignorant idiots try to be an Indian..not a North Indian

he played a police officer in rgv's company. of course, with that bigbelly. but nowbody cared about his belly, or about his hindi diction, because the acting was superb. let us wait for the film to release, and then criticize his belly

If you dont mind me saying one thing, thats because RGV makes his characters that way, indeed most of the credit should go to RGV and then Mohan lal in that role
Re: Re: Re: Uncle Bun
by don rajkumar on Jan 06, 2011 12:19 AM
yes. but my point is that his fat belly annoyed nobody in company, then how that is a problem in tez.

i feel pity 4 u girl, u r still a typical bollywood-chocolate-bubblegumtheme-film viewer.check out world cinema,hollywood.
Body beauty is not a compulsory thing for an actor/hero. Body fitness and beauty is needed only if he act in a youth goodlooking guys role.watch English films . then those idiots like SRK who always do chocolate films hasnt won single natioal award
mohanlal has won 4 national awards,6 state awards,7 filmfare,6 filmcritic.he acted in only 2 hindi films earlier and still he bagged the iifa award for best supporting actor.he has atleast 30 blockbusters which every keralite has seen atleast 5 times,more than 50 hits,, so dont compare those chocolate boy hindi actors with THE COMPLETE ACTOR .ok? u can compare him with kamal hasan,antony hopkins,marli brando
maniratnam himself is a fn of him.even ur BIGB has astonished seeing his acting.he said it openly also.
so if u dont know anything about him,dnt comment
he is nt gong to do role of 28 year old guy,ok.....
u better see those bubble gum theme ,chocolate,immatured fims like DDLJ,kutch kutc hotahai,u cannot watch a more complex film,it is beyond ur range
if SRK is Abdul Kalam ,Mohanalal is Einstein.dnt ever dare to comment on him

As opposed to Sharukh and Salman uncle who actually believe they are good looking and act in fair and lovely ads?
Re: comedy...
by sumesh mg on Jan 04, 2011 06:05 PM
pls watch and compare acting of mohanlal with your choclate dumps, of the recent remakes made by priyadarshan and then critisise. Acting is not just showing muscles and nudity.

I SRK is better how many national awards he has won.Not a single one.Mohanlal won 4...looks doesnt matter...only acting matters
Re: Re: Re: comedy...
by Vineeth K on Jan 06, 2011 11:39 AM
Is SRK is better actor,how many national awards he has won.Not even one.Mohanlal has 4 awards.

Ha...ha....ha.... Tragedy...... U need to do a reality check My Dear.... Do U Even Know an Actor by the Name of Marlon Brando... Pot Belly...... Seriously Dude.... Get a Life......
Forget police officer, mohanlal acted as a kathakali dancer in Vanaprastham. After seeing him in Vanaprastham, the french press dubbed him the Gerard Depardieu of India. So outstanding was his acting.
If you really are a movie buff, take a cd of Vanaprastham and watch it. It will leave you awestruck!
Re: Re: Re: Size doesnt matter

indeed he is one of the finest actor in our country. Arrogance thy name is CHINDHEE CHOR

by bala sreenivasan on Jan 03, 2011 10:31 PM
hey chindhee, don't shoot your mouth off too much. you only betray your ignorance. If some south indian has screwed you up, do not dirty the discussion board with your fart
When ever somebody mentions about Lal's films, the criticism is on his cheeks and belly...Why??..Can a normal person or a police men cannot have bellies??...six packs or eight packs are not parameters to judge..
Re: WTF??
by melby augustine on Jan 03, 2011 05:06 PM
A normal person can have bellies... But he is not acting as a normal person... He is a police officer... A police officer can have belly, but not this big... I am sure he will look very awkward among Ajay,Anil and Zyed... He is younger than Anil Kapoor and compare both by looks... And if you are saying look doesnt matter in films, then you are lying...
Re: Re: WTF??
by Dinesh on Jan 03, 2011 05:42 PM
The maximum waist size of a police man is how much? 40", Cool!! You should take a walk out and look at Indian Policemen..Of course he's over weight..but thats his personal health problem..not related to acting skills..I don't call him the best..But he's definitely at the alltime top 5 actors in the world!!!!
Re: Re: Re: WTF??
by Alavalathy on Jan 03, 2011 08:26 PM
You fool he's a British Police officer in the movie! and with this belly??? He is a laughing stock, unless of course this is a Priyan comedy with Lal doing a Pappu imitation of speaking english
Re: WTF??
by bob clown on Jan 04, 2011 09:08 AM
Whatever it is whether he has belly or not he is adored by people all over India with his face and belly. Moreover in kerala many women, children and young girls like all his movies than what is all that is required, it is good movies not good looks or belly
