Mammootty's 'Karutha..' is number one Malayalam film
By Paresh C. Palicha,

Kochi, Nov 28 Superstar Mammootty's new film "Karutha Pakshikal" by veteran director Kamal tops the list of Malayalam films this fortnight.

The top five Malayalam films are:

1. "Karutha Pakshikal": Mammootty, in a realistic character after a long while under Kamal's baton, puts the film on the top of this list.       

2. "Classmates": The youth-oriented film still holds its position, with director Lal Jose hogging the limelight.

3. "Vasthavam": This Prithviraj film has received a good response. This is a boost for young director M. Padmakumar.

4. "Pothen Vava": This seems to be the last Mammootty film with a comic streak, as his next couple of films are serious in mood.

5. "Chakkaramuthu": The makers of this film changed the title to "Chakkarapottan" as well as the climax. But whether this has improved the box-office returns of this Dileep film is debatable.
 

 
'Ara Pavan' is Malayalam song of the fortnight
By Paresh C. Palicha,

Kochi, Nov 28  The songs of "Vasthavam" and "Karutha Pakshikal" make an entry into this list of Malayalam chartbusters.

The top five Malayalam songs of this fortnight are:

1. "Ara Pavan": Film: 'Vasthavam"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Gireesh Puthencherry; Singers: Vidhu Prathap and Rimi Tomy. The melodious, romantic song picturised on Prithviraj and Kavya Madhavan is a clear winner for the traditional touch given by director M. Padmakumar.

2. "Mazhayil": Film: "Karutha Pakshikal"; Music: Mohan Sithara; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singer: Manjari. Kamal's films always have special place for songs. This song picturised on Meena has the familiar Kamal feeling.

3. "Ente Khalbili": Film: "Classmates"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Sujatha and Vineeth Sreenivasan. The music of this film has stayed with the listener as the film continues to be on a record-breaking spree.

4. "Vave Makane": Film: "Pothen Vava"; Music: Alex Paul; Lyrics: Sarath Varma; Singers: Madhu Balakrishnan and Usha Uthup. The song underscores the film's dominant mother-son sentiment.

5. "Karineela Kannilenthedee": Film: "Chakkaramuthu"; Music: M. Jayachandran; Lyrics: Gireesh Puthencherry; Singers: Vineeth Sreenivas and Sujatha. The film may not have done well as expected, but its songs still hold listeners.
