Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal (1986) Online

A sensitive portrayal of a mature love story which is lyrical and poetic as the music of the film. It is the most influential films of its era and still is called the greatest love story told in malayalam. Mohanlal takes acting to a greater level with his riveting performance and débutante Shari is fresh and appealing. This is a film which needs to be preserved and re- released because the true value of it is yet to be realised.THe script is very detailed and brings out the intrinsic lifestyle of the kerala catholic syrian Christian. The screenplay is the king just like all of director Padmarajan's other concepts and this is the best of his work closely followed by Thoovanathumbikal. The dialogues are crisp and powerful with a local touch. The music is still popular and the songs are very meaningful. The entire screenplay is worked around Solomon's songs from the bible and it keeps referring to the vineyards of solomon. The film is based on K Sudhakaran's novel and is the a great adaptation to the English translation which mean vineyard for us to dwell. What amazes me is after reading the novel by K Sudhakaran I understood that the screenplay of this film is based on the events that are not mentioned in the book. It traverses a path that exists but is not mentioned in the book. Thats the beauty of padmarajan's work. You need to read the book and see the film to unravel the film in totality.

Late Mr. Patmarajan has a habit. He loves to glue his viewers to the seat and hypnotize them by his unique movies. Like Aparan, Thoovana thumbikal, Kallan pavithran, Ennale etc. He does the same or even much further in Namukku Parkkan Munthiri Thoppukal. Malayalam movie viewers still miss him.

In this love story, characters Solomon (Mohanlal) and Sofia (Shari) wins our heart. Whereas, the step father is the key role (Award winning role by Thilakan) that stays with us all the time. Perfect cast in every way. Superb photography, great screenplay and unique setting makes this movie a real gem. I wish men could have his heart when it comes to love...

Let's go to the villages, let us go to the vineyards and see if the grapes sprout and blossom into the pomegranate, where I will give you love Never forget the love of Malayalees from the mind Sophia's brother-in-law opposes Sommon and Sophia. These two neighbors are hostile. But Salam and Sophia did not like this. Finally, this love can end up in a tragedy ... this is the story of our film Vineyaprils.

Namukku parkkan munthiri thoppukal is one of the greatest love stories in malayalam.Padmarajan has written a brilliant script.The brilliant direction of padmarajan, extremely pleasing music of johnson,expressive cinematography of venu, the musical and poetric narration of the film,the attractive character of mohanlal and the excellent performance of the actor make it an evergreen classic

i guess the music by Johnson is everlasting too. the theme music of the movie which comes right at the beginning is haunting. it will remain etched in everyones memories. but due credit must be give to Thilakan and Mohan Lal . the movie wouldn have been complete without their performances. one still wonders how Thilakan has not received international accolades or even a national award being the kind of perfomer he is. Most if not all of Padmarajans movies dwell on relationships and are very character centric and again most if not all of his movies are classics. his early death was a big loss to Malayalam cinema. his contribution to the golden period of malayalam cinema was immense.
