Jagadish is an active actor in Malayalam cinema. In an interview given to Media One, Jagadish spoke his views very interestingly. As part of the promotion of the new movie Falimi, Jagadish came to the interview along with Basil Joseph and other stars of the film. Today, it is said that the reviews are coming saying that the movie is bad. But I have experienced it firsthand. It was years ago. S Jayachandran Nair sir used to write movie reviews in Kalakaumudi weekly. At that time he had written a review of the super hit movie Welcome to Kodaikanal. Jagadish says that after writing Welcome to Kodaikanal, what was written below was Kaka Kulichal Kokakumo.
The other was that on what basis did Jagdeesh play the role that a hero like Mohanlal should have played? I am not tired of it. I have no personal grudge against this Jayachandran Nair sir. Later, I acted in the play Saketham directed by G Shankarapillai sir. I thought I acted well. While the review in Kalakaumudi wrote that I played Laxmanan, Jagadish Kumar’s Laxmanan coming in with the Madal, angry at sending Jeshtha to the forest, reminded me of Tamil film stunt heroes. I was not tired of it. There is advice given by G Shankarappillai sir.
The reviews are going to be like that, Jagadish’s performance is not well received by everyone. Then Jagdish should try to improve. I understood it. We should not get tired of reviews. Excellent job one would say. Someone else will say that acting is boring. It should be acceptable to both. Review is a right. Jagadish says that something wrong has happened on my part and I will think that it is because of that. Welcome to Kodaikanal was a super hit. The film ran for a hundred days. It also got such a review. I’m not tired of it. He can say that. He is a good critic.
