[...] In 2005, Salim Kumar acted in Achanurangatha Veedu, in a role which did not require him to fall into cow dung. There were expectations of an award, but Mohanlal took the award for Thanmatra and Salim Kumar had to settle for the second best actor. [...]

Havent seen Achanurangaatha veedu but heard that its on par with , if not better than Thanmaathra. But its the bane of our society that a movie which has a better star value would succeed more than one with less star value, but better accomplished actors..

I think the relatively less success of Thanmaathra and Achan Urangaatha veedu has to do with the taste of our audience coming down drastically from the 80′s and 90′s, when veteran directors like Bharathan, Padmarajan and Hariharan ruled . They made so many realistic movies in their days. Maybe because now a days people dont want to see movies with sad endings. The last tragic movie which was a hit probably was Desadanam ?

It wa a movie which is needed in our time. Now as Thanmathra received the award and need not promoted anymore the film societies started discussing about this movie. (Which, in my opinion, should have happened earlier). There is a discussion on the movie tomorrow in Thrissur, heard that Lal Jose is also going to attend and the movie is going to be screened again as it was out of the theatres from some time now.

Generally actors who are branded as comedians, are very good when it comes to portrayal of serious characters.. From the good old days, comedians like Adoor Bhasi, Bahadur, Alamoodan, Innocent, Jagadhi Sreekumar, Sreenivasan, Cochin Haneefa, Kalabhavan Mani and now Saleem Kumar have proved their mettle when it comes to playing good character roles.. It is not an easy job to make people laugh at your dialogues and facial expressions etc, with you having a straight face. And that is something that all the above actors have excelled in. Even Mallu acting stalwarts like Nedumudi Venu, Thilakan, Mohan lal, Jayaram do great jobs in comedies and they have time and again reiterated in their interviews that doing a serious scene is much easier than doing comedies.

Comedienes like KPAC Lalitha, Philomina have also displayed their acting prowess in serious roles. Not only in Malayalam, but also in Tamil (Nagesh, Thengai Sreenivasan, Senthil, Vivek) and Hindi (Mehmood, Johnny Walker), comedians have enthralled the audience with their performance in character roles. The factor that the audience have no expectation on them also helps. So it is only the question of opportunity for all these comedian actors.
