Lohithads is not simply a writer to Sathyan sir.He is been a true friend to Sathyan sir.They both decided to work together in near future.But.....
Sathyan sir was not even in a situation to speak to press.He was crying like a child.That reveals the bond between him and Lohithadas.


In every movies , he tried to tell something to the youth.It is like that from his first film.
Please watch this scene from Thaniyavarthanam






Its a huge loss to the whole malayalam industry. We lost a legend.

Bhagyadevatha completes successfull 50 days in box office.
As always Sathyan Anthikad keeps his audience happy.In an interview he said " Dont go behind the other language films where they use new technologies. Use the technologies that the film demands.And never underestimate the audience mind." Rahul Nambiar

In this film Sathyan sir-Ilayaraja introduced a new singer to malayalam industry ..."Rahul Nambiar".He sung the song "swapnangal kannezhithiya" with K.S Chithra".....Before this song he sung a song for "Mulla"..Ee Ravil...But "swapnangal kannezhuthiya" song made him popular.and his voice made that song beautiful.
Congrats to him......
Recently i saw a good report about him in "The Hindu"



The another important thing is its location , Kuttanad.
Sathyan sir always select beautiful locations for his movies.
Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal - Goa
Achuvinte Amma - Calicut
Rasathanthram - Thodupuzha,Moolamattam


I am sure this film will surely run 100 days in almost all releasing centres.

Mamukkoya also got the award for best comedian for his acting in this film.
This is for the first time this award has been giving to someone by State govt.

As per Sathyan Anthikad, Mamukkoya deserves this award because of his dedication to a character.


Mamukkoya always got good characters in Sathyan sir's movies.

Gandhi Nagar2nd street, MazhavilKavadi, Nadodikkattu, Thalayanamanthram, Sasneham, Rasathanthram, Manassinakkare, Innathe Chinthavishayam were the films which he performed very well.
One of the best scene that came to my memory about Mamukkoya was from Thalayanamanthram which i used to say to my friends.
Thalayanamanthram - "nammal polytechnicil onnum padichittillallo"


Congratulations Mamukkoya....You deserve this award....

Bhagyadevatha a big hit - Another mile stone in Sathyan Anthikad 's career



Sathyan Anthikad 's Bhagyadevatha completed five weeks in theater.Initial days the collection was not that high , but after three four days , again mouth publicity comes into play for a Sathyan Anthikad film.Family audience got what they expected from a Sathyan Anthikad movie.
Yes , as i mentioned in one of my posts , it was a treat for all sathyan sir fans.
When a new cinemateographer comes for the first time for a Sathyan Anthikad film , they will do the level best.For many years , Vipin Mohan was the cameraman for Sathyan Anthikad films.
When Azhagappan did camera for "Manassinakkare " , it was well appreciated all over the place.
Then S.Kumar for the first time did the camera work with Sathyan Anthikad for "Vinodayathra".
As you all know how beautiful for that. Now the veteran cameraman Venu for the first time did the camera work for Bhagyadevatha , and it was outstanding , especially the boat scenes.
All cameramen were waiting for a chance in Sathyan Anthikad film . Who is next ? Let us wait and see.
