12:00 Vaalibhan is not that small.. it is a big budget Monster movie.. The Post Mammootty-Mohanlal era will start only if those two stop making movies. Personally I think star driven movies should slowly go away, and creation of more stars should also stop (it is unique for Indian scenarios to celebrate the star, nepotism is key) but I think it should go away. All these stars today came up with excellent writing and direction that happened in the 80,'s and 90's. It's not easy to create a star without the above mentioned things. In my opinion,The director and writers should be the star, not the actors and people should come to theatre for writers and directors.. even for production houses who make only quality content. Then the payment to stars will reduce, the gender pay disparity will go away. Actors will be actors who do the job that the director gives. Not the person who controls the market. In India SSR is probably the only director who is paid more than the stars. He is the star director who can make actors stars. Today's Prabhas will not exist if there was no SSR and the great writing. I can argue with the above opinion myself, celebrating stars are fun cinematic theatre experiences. But it also celebrates Toxic masculinity equally well. Cricket stars and movie stars influence the common folks in India like no other. If they do a drinking commercial the sales rocket up. If they play a normalised stalker in a movie, it is replicated by a commoner, because it's just normal. When movies reflect society, society reenacts the movie and gets trapped in a cycle. (There are positive changes happening now, but less)

49:00 Nayakan was in 2010.. and yes I don't think the present day new generation wave reportedly started with Traffic, but i don't agree.. Katherine rightly mentioned Ranjith Shankar who created "PASSENGER" which I watched in theatre at that time and appreciated it so so much. I followed Hollywood movies just like Malayalam or Tamil from a young age and that was the first time I felt yes finally Malayalam cinema made a Hollywood like movie (similar to a Vantage point, just mentioned because both movies happens in the span of one day and follows multiple people meeting at various plot points).. Malayalam obviously has great movies before.. that was the first time it's happened to me in a theatre without the overacting, drama, songs and stuff. This was in 2009 and Nayakan 2010 and in 2011 came TRAFFIC.

19:00 Malayalam audiences are so customed to watching Tamil movies, so if they want to do a Malayalam mass movie they at a time especially Mammootty films like Pokkiriraja or Rajamanikyam and many more which has the story written in such a way that the hero is from Tamil Nadu or Telugu speaking States and then do the anti gravity action to work with audiences. Malayalam audience have such unique selection I think. DQ rightly mentioned this in an interview Malayalam audiences don't like mass action done by their stars in Malayalam cinema. (He does little mass action in movie CIA). So if we do that mass action it has to make sense in the story or it has to be unique from Tamil or Telugu. (Ayyappanum Koshiyum had raw action, Thallumala ofcourse stylistical and fabulously choreographed, RDX again, Bheeshmaparvam, even we go back to 90s or early 2000 Spadikam is not just a mass movie, brilliantly acted father son dynamic is there and dialogues, Narasimham or Aaram Thampuran.. See the trend.. King of Kotha wasn't unique or it was mostly cliched action and didn't provide anything promised in the promotion interviews. When DQ said the dialogues of a particle character are so good and came out especially well during dubbing, and after you watch it, it was the worst. Mass movie also needs mass dialogues and when both of those were missing in KOK That's cheating your audience, so malayali audience basically felt cheated.

57:00 Tovino can get that non OTT clean hit through A.R.M this year if it goes well. Hopefully without the need of other language dubs. It is coming in 5 languages though. But personally I think he's not looking to be a star. He likes to develop the actor in him and chooses films which gives importance to other actors like a Kala or Kaanekkane. Even Mimnal Murali I think he didn't play the best character.

41:00 Marketing and promotion in Malayalam is not feasible for low budget movie. If it gets a GCC release then only you get to see some marketing in early days. Atleast now few interviews are given and even interview stars are born 😂.

*Telugu Cinema did not capture North Indian Market nor Pan Indian Market* . Other than SS Rajamouli movies, Telugu Cinema has no truly successful Pan India movies in the last 50 years. Saaho & Pushpa had limited success with worldwide gross just above 407 & 350 crore and Pushpa is not even in the top ten most successful South Indian films. *Top Ten Most Successful South Indian films* *Bahubali 2* RRR *KGF 2* 2.0 *Jailer* Bahubali *Ponniyin Selva 1* Vikram *Saaho* Kantara

58:00 Mathew and Nesslon .. Yeah that's the post Mammootty, Mohanlal actors you are discussing now. Rest of them except Shane Nigam and Tovino are already in late 30s or 40s. Highest paid Malayalam actors have couple of names you guys didn't mentioned but less star value more actor value. (Jayasurya and Kunchakko) Mohanlal, Mammootty, Prithviraj, Dulquer, Fahadh, Nivin, Suresh Gopi, and unanamed actor takes the top 10. With Tovino, Unni Mukundan (outside Malayalam), Asif Ali, Biju Menon, Inrajith and Jayaram completing the 15. Tovino might be in Top 10 now replacing Kunchakko or Jayasurya.. jayasurya will be paid high after Kathanar though, he's not doing any other projects.

I think we didn't mention KB or Jayasurya not because they aren't worth considering, but they're both at a stage in their careers where they're well established,, they seem to have found a groove to work in. They do solid work, but they're not in, and aren't going to be in, that kind of next level up of a Mohanlal or a Mammootty. You can see even in the list you made, people like Tovino, Unni Mukundan, Asif, Biju, Indrajith, Jayaram, they're a level down. That doesn't mean they're not good, and they do have their fans, of course. And yeah, in the notes I made for this discussion, I said exactly that -- many of the names we could toss around are already in their 30s, it was hard to find really younger actors coming up, and I hope that changes, I love to see the new discoveries thrive (a bit like Arjun Ashokan, yes?)

@@TotallyFilmi Arjun Ashokan yes, yes and yes.. like we discussed before we can talk about that more after his next 5 releases.!! Man can't do flops at the moment. Let him flop one or two headlined movies and if he comes back strong after that we got the potential. Superstars are not made by the hits.. they are made by the consistency and rise after flops. And the point I was about to make was considering Mohanlal to be working for 10 more years. The possible superstar actors will be in their early 50s or very late forties. That's not the superstar age. And it's easy to track stars from actors, by their paycheck. 😅
