Dear Sreenivasan,
you deserve most of the credit for Nadodikattu. A lot of people praise Sathyan Anthikad. But then, it was not a very directorial film. The actors, the script and the dialogues (written by you) are what made this film such a joy to watch. The film was up to its neck in some remarkable gags and comedic set pieces. It is one of the best examples of uninhabited celebration of Malayali moral repugnance. You and Mohanlal were in great form. The chemistry between the two of you deserves special mention. The stellar supporting cast led by Thilakan, Captain Raju, Sankaradi, Innocent, Mamukkoya, Johnny, Janardhanan, Meena and Santha Devi added weight to the scenes. I doubt whether some of the young writers of today would be able to write a film like Nadodikattu. All they can do is reference and pay homage to scenes from this film. I had so much fun watching this film as a kid. I still do. Nadodikattu has stood the test of time.
Best Regards, Pimpin.
