film Kireedam
There is
no dearth of Malayalam movies dealing with the warmth and compassion in relationships between fathers and sons. Deshadanam,
Thanmatra, Pappayude Swantham Appoos
and Piravi among others,
portray the said bond that could be variously classified as loving, friendly, protective,
understanding and so on. But these relationships with the given variables of
society, circumstances, and one’s inherent nature, more often than not,
complicate matters resulting in slightly different outcomes, and these too are portrayed brilliantly in Malayalam movies.
Following is a list of such particularly complex father-son relationships that
deviate from those conventional ones built on love and respect alone, that you
might want to reflect upon. That six out of the ten in the list feature one of the
stalwarts of Malayalam cinema, Thilakan, says quite something about this late veteran
actor and eternal father we will all love and admire forever in all his diverse
avatars.
