A like for May. May made to like by Po Mone Dinesha. Go son Dinesha. A huge bubble in a wide arc of water; a bulky, lushly moustached, Mohanlal surfaces like some wild Tekkady elephant; in wet white dhoti and blue jibba, he, Narasimham, strides a sand stretch to a pack of villains, brushes them away with a low-note Po Mone Dinesha; a piece of immortality; a Lalettan gift to humanity. Rama and me watched and watched the youtube clip of Narasimham. Is Po Mone Dinesha better than Mere Pass Ma Hai in Deewar? And what about 'Tera kya hoga, Kaliya ....jo dar gaya, samhjo mar gaya' of Gabbar and Sholay. Debate may be fiery. Could be on. Rama is still atop a chuckle and chuckling believes God's Own Country should allow overtake by Po Mone Dinesha as a tagline for her dear Naadu. 'English does not fit. Mohanlal is the ultimate fit,' she and Sethumadhavan believe. Rama is not into Modi and politics. Does not care. 'Like it or not Po Mone Dinesha delivered in exaggerations by Mohanlal or more appropriately Lalettan, is ende Naadu, ende Keralyeeam,' Rama emphasises softly. Sethumadhavan concurs. Narasimham,Deewar and Sholay were hits; tipsy men dialgoue them at bars. Lalettan is branded The Complete Actor. Citizens of Sreevatsam in Alleppey nod in agreement. For, Po Mone Dinesha land, Mohanlal is ahead of Amitabh. Then the white mundu, the Narasimham mundu. Walk in Kerala today, at least 50 per cent of the males are in white mundus folded above their knees (for sufficient airing) and during election times as now every male is in a white alakkiya mundu and jibba. Imageries have to change with change. God's Own Country is temples, coconuts and boats; Po Mone Dinesha is rials, dirhams, pizzas, mehendi and sangeet at marriages, Joyalukkas, speeding Mercs, a clutch of fresh social indicators. Poetess Sugata Kumari may not like it. But the change has been made. It simply cannot go. A Jisha has been deleted; she is not, even for Mathrubhoomi; Kerala Police, they say, is more into crime than solving crimes; that maybe a touch unfair. Surprising, Mohanlal is not standing for elections when KPSC Lalitha and many other actors are beaming promises in 42 degrees heat. 'He is clever. Why waste money in elections when there is a good chance he may become a Rajya Sabha MP?' mentions Sethu and he should know as with Rama they have seen every Lalettan film many times over. With Malayalam TV channels fooling the viewers with old repeats and never a fresh release, Rama spends noons with Mohanlal and also Mammootty. There is little left unknown (except finance) about Lalettan; his son did not click in films; thousands, including me, follow him on his own (his claim) Malayalam blogs; Rama waits for fresh instalments; understand he is on a family vacation. Po Mone Dinesha is Kerala today. None will dare tell Lalettan: Po Mone Dinesha. None will dare tell Kerala: Po Mone Dinesha. Made in 2000. That is Mohanlal Kerala. A fresh note for Kerala: Po Mone Dinesha.

Po Mone Dinesha
A like for May. May made to like by Po Mone Dinesha. Go son Dinesha. A huge bubble in a wide arc of water; a bulky, lushly moustached, Mohanlal surfaces like some wild Tekkady elephant; in wet white dhoti and blue jibba, he, Narasimham, strides a sand stretch to a pack of villains, brushes them away with a low-note Po Mone Dinesha; a piece of immortality; a Lalettan gift to humanity. Rama and me watched and watched the youtube clip of Narasimham. Is Po Mone Dinesha better than Mere Pass Ma Hai in Deewar? And what about 'Tera kya hoga, Kaliya ....jo dar gaya, samhjo mar gaya' of Gabbar and Sholay. Debate may be fiery. Could be on.
