Mr A My favorite Lalettan 1980s Classic. Lalettan as Balagopalan is a kind hearted, sweet, educated, and hard working young gentleman. I gotta say Balagopalan is one of my favorite character character names for Lalettan. I first saw this 🎥 when I was very little and instantly loved it. Lalettan won his first Kerala State Film Award as Best Actor for his performance in this 🎥 which was also his first Best Actor Award in his filmography. He was the youngest recipient of his time to win Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor at age 26. Lalettan held that record for two decades until it was broken in 2006 by actor Prithviraj Sukumaran winning his first Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor at age 24. I prefer if Dileep were the one to break that record. Despite that, Lalettan will always be the youngest actor of his time to win as he was the first to set that record. My favorite scene from an image standpoint is where Lalettan as Balagopalan wears a manila button down shirt. This 🎥 may have been released before he moved up to stardom but his Best Actor award for this 🎥 is above and beyond satisfactory. I do wish Lalettan can stay young forever, especially in his 20s and 30s but sadly nobody lives forever let alone stay young forever. But I will still love Lalettan's 1980s and 90s classics no matter what. Even though Balagopalan had financial struggles, he was still capable of dressing nicely with a button down shirt and dress pants. Even though Lalettan as Balagopalan is kind to almost everyone, sadly not everyone is kind to him as Balan K Nair and Sukumari don't approve of his relationship with Shobana as Anitha. Lalettan as Balagopalan is sometimes addressed as Balan and Balettan which are his nicknames. I'm glad this 🎥 has a happy ending as Balagopalan and Anitha happily reunite. May this Lalettan legacy live on :). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
