The film is counted as one of the best classics made in Indian Cinema

Cult status.

Is Kaali ur real name?

[@TheUnrulyMonster]

Shobhana is a great actress... won the National award for this role... all the remake actress could at best come up with average performances....

[@sowparnika_treasa_sabu]

Its not a horror movie. May be the best psychological thriller movie in 90s Indian film industry. 3 great National Award winning artists; Shobhana- Mohanlal- Suresh gopi in one frame ❤

[@askerali5794]

I am from Pakistan. I love this movie. 🙌🏾

[@itsme1938]

The female portion of this song is sung entirely in Tamil and the male portion is in Malayalam.

[@minurnair3323]

Iam proud to be a malayali .....

[@GKSTH9203]

Eventhough she is a great dancer, in the movie she as original character does the steps of the dance imperfectly, like the character if the film. But her imagination persona is seen to be doing them perfectly. That is Shobhana's acting prowess

[@neo-noiranathubronthan6045]

Give some credit to the director as well

[@ashok______]

Mohanlal & Shobhana did 55 movies together.

[@SJ-ug9sp]

Being a classical dancer Shobana choreographed this song. The coactor Ramanathan also is a famous classical dancer Dr Sreedhar Sreeram.

[@sjonkuruvila]

Proud to be a malayali, and don't know how many times I watched this movie, Shobhana did this character unremarkable and won the national award for best actress.

[@Kuttanaadan]

This is one of the first movies in Indian Cinema, which treated the split personality as a medical condition rather a ghost attack and communicated it well to the viewers, which helped in breaking many taboos about the disease and people started thinking differently on such conditions, that a psychiatrist is the option in such cases.

[@PAPA_DJ]

National award winning performance, no remake came close to shobhana mams performance

[@truce111]

No overacting or funny looks in this original version..everything looks real.

[@sandhyarajan9445]

shobhana is considered as the best actress ever in malayalam film

[@mindhunter1021]

No one can replace shobhana maam.. Watch the performance of all other actress played nagavalli

[@matchynishi]

The movie came out at a specific time when the mental sciences were only just getting known, and not quite mainstream, so the idea of split personalities/DID, etc was introduced as a concept with this movie. The terms may be dated, as the 'gold medal from America' kind of stuff - but that was what was impressive to Keralaites at the time, as in India, every year we have common entrance exams for a bunch of academic fields, and the ranks are published openly - so it's possible to get a gold medal/1st rank! Not to mention that specific academic fields for mental health were not quite known lol. The fact that the movie played on subjects that were previously always surrounded by mystery/superstitions kind of made it relatable - I have visited the village my family is from. There was an old, huge house, a temple nearby, a pond no-one went to coz of weird stories, random small old-timey mysteries and stories.... there are just so many elements, even in the comedic routines, that echo cultural things - there are certain rituals you can do in certain temples that might ask you to do stuff/not to do stuff - so that concept of Innocent not speaking for a certain time until he finishes a task, is actually relatable and understood when the more ridiculous aspects of it are underlined. Not to mention the movie was not advertised as horror, just as a thriller. The whole idea was that regular village life, with people having annoying neighbours who got their stuff dropped down a well and asks you to help, petty quarrels between relatives, enjoying poetry competitions on the riverbank, rolling your eyes at thse ridiculous people who comes in from overseas with their strange ideas, etc, get disrupted because an unspoken village more got broken. So it's not that the movie is a strict genre of one or the other, it's like a slice of village life. Because life can't be divided into one genre - the fact that you get scared because of unexplained happenings in your home doesn't mean the neighbours won't annoy you, or that you won't laugh when ridiculous situations happen. My two cents, as a malayalee.

[@sn.m]

Shobhana's dance movements as an obsessed person and as in her imagination is fantastic. What was crazily challenging was to dance on that floor as it was polished with oil!!!

[@adwaithk]

[@ShirazHansen]

10:47 It's not just her makeup.. if you watch closely, her dance moves in real life are awkward and clunky, because she's not a trained dancer, but in her fantasy, she moves much more gracefully.

[@TheJimmyCage]

That's really great.

Shobhana is one of the enormously talented actress in india. ❤ and a wonder ful dancer . And the movie manichithrathazhu is a cult classic. Good reaction.

This song is one of my favourites from Malayalam movies. Shobhana did such a great job. I agree that the mixed-genre might confuse non-indian viewers but we are used to it and hence that was not an issue in Kerala. I love these song reaction series you are doing and keep them coming. :)

You both have watched her in thalapathy. She was the one who rajnikath was in love with but her dad rejects him. She is a classically trained dancer. I have been to her show and met her in person through a mutual friend. She is an introvert but when she appears on the screen she lights it up.

[@drshajahanom3687]

Malayalam films are known for their strong commitment to portraying real-life situations, making them relatable to the experiences and events we encounter. Translating these movies or adding subtitles may diminish their true essence, and as a result, individuals who are not Malayalam speakers or those born and raised abroad might not fully appreciate the films in the same way that native Malayalam speakers do.

[@udraj914]

its amazing to see the male dancer in all his glory in on scene, and then acting as a man who has rhythm. her lines are perfect

[@deepaprasad8322]

Great ❤... Actually i am thrilled watching your reaction, being myself a MALAYALI.......😊😊😊

[@user-hq8wm8giyujcg]

whenever we think of serious classical indian dance form, no other one comes to mind first than Bharatnatyam, then others like Kathak, but all classical dance form has their roots in ancient performing arts text Natya Shastra by Bharat Muni. Sanskrit literature is very rich not just the popularly known vedic-upanishad literature, the 2 epics and puranas. But also fables, epic and lyric poetry, dramas, prose novels during 1 cen ad to 12 cen ad, like Panchatantra, Kumarasambhava, Mehgadoot, Shakuntala by Kalidas, Mrcchakatika, Kadambari, Kathasaritsagar based on long lost Brihtkatha, Sukasaptati

The mansion is in the capital of southern Kerala princely state travancore, where the successors of king Marthanda varma resided and ruled. The state never fully surrendered to British, partially kept it's self governance by giving annual tributes to the British.

To understand how Malayalees view this movie you need to understand a bit about Malayalam culture and the environment in which this movie was made. It is a place where people have very strong religious beliefs and you will find many stories, myths, etc. about bad spirits (e.g. kuttichathan, yakshi, etc.) and ghosts in the cultural lore. Over the last 100 years or so with the advent of science and spread of education these ideas or stories are not talked about so much. I remember during my grandmother's time and the stories she used to tell us - I found it a bit scary when I was a child. There are also a lot of religious rituals, prayers, etc. which have been specifically designed/created to scare off these spirits and ward off any harm from them. Even today you will find priests in Kerala who can/will perform such rituals. So, for people who lived in such an environment such a movie will be quite scary - at least it was in 1993. Today, we live in the age of information overload and things have changed a lot - such dark themes and ideas dont have so much hold over people.

[@adv.s.ramesh779]

Important part is that Sobhana is professional dancer she has a dance school. She had to dance both as a professional in yellow dress and an absolute novice in white dress.. It was difficult she said in an interview

The thing about subtitles is, the character shobana plays sings in tamil (as Nagavally is Tamil) while the hero sings in Malayalam, as the languages are little bit similar they sync together well. Takeaway : only the tamil is subtitled.

[@priyasathyan6521]

Actually in those days subtitles are mostly wrong ...how can u able to understand those movies?? U have to know the culture and traditions and believes to understand those movies.... in kerala each part is different with language dialects and custom .....its very cultural and traditional rich place ....its also effects because to understand those movies u need minimum knowledge about those...
