Sathyan Damn he can ACT. Sathyan knows the true meaning of acting. I haven't seen his whole lot of movies but the ones i saw were the GREATEST MOVIES I EVER SEEN. HIS NATURALITY AND REALITY ON HIS ACTINGS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST. |

eda vince,
At least show some decency and respond properly.
A forum hub is not the place to show your mastery of cheap third rate language.
First understand the true meaning of a forum hub and then get involved in it.
As far as i think Mohanlal is the best actor by far.
Sathyan was a great actor no doubt.But i do not think that he has the range and versatility of Mohanlal.

That was nice Vince.
People who talk like that has not seen Sathyan's Originality in Acting.
Acting is artificial by itself.
But to make it look perfectly natural needs talent. Sathyan was # 1 in performing that

Three movies I remember having seen of Sathyan are Neelakkuyil,Sujatha and Odayil Ninnu. While no comments on the first two, I couldn't stop laughing at his theatrics in the third...the character Paramu in the novel was totally wasted in this guy..
Satyan is a great actor compared with Nazir. But does that mean Sathyan can compare with Mohan lal? ;-)

oh yes, he did act very well in Chemmeen. In fact,far better than Madhu, a real good actor but was mediocre in this movie.

Correct Vince:
In most films, the Hero is outstanding and seperate and as audience we are able to see that clearly from the rest of the mud. Hero has a style of talking and presenting dialogues, whether it is Lal, Mammootty or even Nedumudi and Gopi. It was never the cas ewith Sathyan. In films directed by people who knew HOW TO DIRECT ( i mean meaningful directors) Sathyan excelled. It was unfortunate that there were not many good directors in those days, very few. The way he talks and the way he does the character is untouchable. His dialogues sound like any other person talking on the road, not in a Heroistic style with that attitude.
You gotta see his films in depth and verify my statements. Me too, a big fan of Lal consider Lal as a really good actor but he is nowhere near Sathyan.
In Chemmeen, noone could make a better fisherman than him. The rough tones and language seen in fisherfolk (hope you've been to the Thura sectiuons in Kerala and watched them talking) was present exactly without any change in Sathyan. When Bharathan tried to replicate the same with Mammootty in Amaram, see how silly it looked, 'bloody' flop. Sathyan is Sathyan, Noone beats him in his cadre of acting

on: Thu Mar 15 12:39:08
No Vince What I meant is Sathyan is a very great actor indeed in comparison with the likes of Nazir(kunjacko of yesteryears hehe) and Madhu.
And Unni, I didn't mean the natural advantages a hero gets. My point is, from the movies I have seen it seems Sathyan doesn't have the versatility of Mohan lal. You mentioned the rough tones of the fisherfolk so well portrayed by Sathyan and I agree with it. But that's like saying Nedumudi portrays the 'elderly man' so well. When you take him from his favourite place and put him somewhere else(as a Villain, for ex) he flops. In fact I have seen a movie(don't remember the name) with Nedumudi as the Villain character and it was horrible. Not so with Mohanlal, the versatility of this man is amazing. Maybe as a fisherman he might not be as good as Sathyan but I feel in many other Mohanlal roles Sathyan would have been a big flop. ah well, I haven't seen many movies of Sathyan for that matter...

Anu:
I do accept the fact that Sathyam was not good in all roles as Lal as Lal fits into any role very well. He is a Devan and as well as an Asuran, in short. I do not deny that.

please do not compare sathyan with any of the other artists in malayalam. Sathyan's chair is still vacant. no one can ever sit in that and no body will. the reason:
1. Sathyan was an artist of 1960's, i mean before 40 years.
2. The eminent personality. (face, body, purushathwam)
3. Free style actor. even in comedy roles, serious roles, character roles.
4. he was a best comedian actor (the talent)also.
5. The face expression was Navarasangal.
6. The eyes and ears were also acting. i mean Panchendriyangal was also included in acting.
So please dont try to compare Sathyan with any of our other stars.

Even in dance roles, Sathyan Mash was a master.
Let me say something out of subject. Sathyan & Vayalar Ramavarma are the only two loss in Malayalam film field. They will never born again. In that catagory currently we have one more guy, his name is KJ Yesudas. let him live at least for another 50 years.

Hi Sree:
It is nice to hear that there are some good judges of Mal. film field. As you categirized in th eorder, Nedumudi comes behind Satyan and then Gopi. Also someone who sneaks in after them is the late Sukumaran
- From: Vince (@ power39.cso.niu.edu)
on: Wed Mar 21 13:53:21
very very well said both...!! but I dont' know if sukumaran fit with sathyan and nedumudy. Sukumaran had something that sathyan didn't have. Sukumaran samsarikkunnathu keettal thoonnathilla pulli cinimayil abhinayikkukaya ennu. He had really a natural way of talking..

Sukumaran was an above average talented actor in hero /villain roles. actually i miss his name in the post. and i am so sad for their demise both soman and suku.
- From: unni (@ 1cust40.tnt2.great-neck.ny.da.uu.net)
on: Sun Mar 25 08:25:20
Sukumaran's acting was seen in a few late films. The best among them were:
August 1 and Utharam - he scores 100% over mammootty in those films.
Many others where he belonged to villian groups like - CBI - he was good in that.
Anyone post some good films of Sukumaran after 1980, please.

No doubt sathyan is the best actor. See Kadalppalam, Vazhve mayam, Karakanakkadal, Oru penninte katha, Anubhangal Palichakal etc.
mohanlal & Mammootty are good, but Sathyan is the best.

Accidentally stumbled on this site - some of the comments were downright cheap, but the very fact that the actor Sathyan is still debated about after some many decades after his death speaks itself for what Sathyan is worth about as an actor.
In a period, when the movie-world was yet to come out of the drama style, Sathyan portrayed a different style of acting that is perhaps still valid as nobody has yet bettered him! Theatrics apart, which was simply a necessity at that time if the movies were to run, Sathyan still stands a titan in this field.
Remember the scenes from Odayil Ninnu - how he pulled the riksha, how he held his bidi between his teeth, how he coughed and melted away in the end - see it and then comment.
Recall the scenes from Vashve Mayam - the scene where he sits with his bowed head on both his hands in the government office where he works after receiving the divorce notice from his wife!
See Thettu - where he tries to elicit from his step-daughter the details about her affair with a young man that she loves - just watch those voice modulation, tone and body movements!
See Anubhavangal Palichakal - remember the scene where, although in hiding, he could not resist the temptation to join a demonstration rally - or recall his face when he learns about the death of his daughter and his son shows him where his young daughter has been buried!
Sathyan may not be the ultimate pinnacle of what is acting - for the concept of acting changes with time - and the present day actors are really great, but I feel pity at those who drag in an Actor who lived his life (and roles) decades ago and pit him against some of the current actors.
Forget it - Sathyan was great, is great and will remain great - as long as Malayalam films are there! You cannot separate them!
Good luck!

Then comment. See Anubhavangal Palichakal - the scence where tucking up his lunky he joins a rally (although at that time in hiding) or the scence when he learns about his daughter's death or the facial movements when his son shows him the spot where the daughter was buried. See it and then comment.
Sathyan may not be pinnacle or the ultimate word in acting - for the very concept of acting is ever changing - true the present day actors damn good, but I feel pity at those who drag in an actor who lived his life (and roles) decades ago and pit him unnecessarily against some of the current actors. A futile exercise. Give Sathyan the merit that he rightly deserve on his own - no comparisons please!
Sathan was great, is great and will remain great - that's as long as Malayalam films are there - you just cannot separate the two!
Good luck!
