Kathal is Mammootty’s most popular movie. KS Sabrinath’s words about the movie are noteworthy now. His words are, I thought the most beautiful scene in Jio Baby’s Kathal was a scene in the family court. Mathew (Mammootty) and his wife Omana (Jyotika) are standing side by side when the divorce case is going on. They hand over the handbag to Mathew when Omana is called to investigate. Mathew hands over the bag to Omana after the interrogation.
The respect and care they have for each other in their frosty marriage cannot be portrayed better than this. The foundation of the film is this mutual respect and dignity in marriage, family and society. Mathew, Omana, Chachan, Thangan, Mae and Vak are all expressing it to each other. No exaggeration, this core of tender Geo Baby is axed. And Mammooka – Mammootty characters who lack confidence have always been a wonder for me – Taniyavartan, Bhatakanadi Unda and now Kathalum. The other actresses and technicians are all beautiful.
The other day, Bollywood director Hansal Mehta also came in praise of ‘Kathal the Kori’. Hansel Mehta wrote in X that Kathal is a motto that makes a man love himself. ‘Cathel the Core is a very loving motto for self-love. Mammootty has added another seven to his massive film career. He has performed well.
