Dear Sono iam not a Prithviraj fan as such;still i like him as an actor.The best actor award was not a fair deal i agree.But before calling him “worst among the newcomers” can u please tell any other new comer who has shown any more promise than him?.And i expect an answer for this.
Iam not telling that he is a great actor or a future star,but the others who satrted their career along with him in the early 2000s are now nowhere.So their must be something in him.

What is this? Pritviraj’s fans association! Get a life people, one of the worst new comer to the malayalam industry, other than his good looks and height.

Boss,
I have seen all the above mentioned films….including Vaasthavam,the most discussed one…vadakkumnathan,Palunku,Kaiyoppu etc…
Frankly speaking,I didn’t understand how did prithvi get an award for his acting in Vaasthavam..He didn’t do anything unusual..nothing better than mammootty ,mohanlal or murali(I didn’t see Pulijanmam)..The copmments like He is a newcomer..so we have to motivate him by giving awards..Then we should think about the same in all fields..Why are we giving awards to guys like T V Chandran,Adoor,Lenin rajendran..Why dont u consider newcomers in that field also?…I was shocked to see that they didn’t consider Ravindran for awards..Really horrible….I want to see rathrimazha?..What is really there in that film?….
To the Jury: You guys have to improve …Don’t think that if thre is enough silence in the film,some five minutes gap between dialogues and all,don’t think that it is an art film and should be considered for awards and all others are pure entertainers…Such films have a lot of values than many of those crap art films(You call).I am not saying that art films are always crap,But mostly it comes out like that only……

[...] The 2006 State Awards were declared last week and so within the past five days did Mammotty inform Shobha Warrier that he is giving up “meaningful” cinema? Also if you look at the 2006 State Awards, it is not that Mammotty “lost” to Prithviraj. As we have discussed, Mammotty, Murali and Suresh Gopi were not considered for the awards because some aliens beamed plasma rays into the brains of the jury. So Prithviraj was essentially competing against Sreenivasan, not Mammotty. [...]

What is wrong with giving Prithvi the award. Considering his age and the immense ability he has shown in the movie he deserve it. You just cannot equete with roger federer or anything. It is wonderful to know the merit of the award when you consider the experiance shown by each charactors and actors. For Mammoo or Lal it is a cake walk, but for an actor like Prithvi it is sheer ability to develop the charector in to that level.

Vijay,

Actually I couldnt see any of Lal’s and Mammootty’s (except for Vadakkumnathan) movies, so cant really compare it with Pritvi (again, I havent seen Vasthavam too). I think Pritviraj is shaping up well and is a real prospect. All I wanted to bring forth was the Jury’s attitude of not awarding seniors just because they won lots earlier. That I think is not the right way.

Also, I had seen Vasthavam trailers and found that Pritvi spoke perfect south kerala accent, when the character is from Adiga community (they speak half Kannada and the balance is split between Tulu and Malayalam). Any person who knows how an (extreme) North Keralite speak can only laugh at it. Isn’t that a big drawback (or inefficiency) for him as an actor?
