What makes a feel-good family drama? Typically they emphasise on inter-personal relationships in depth and set an example for the society. Malayalam cinema has always been in the forefront in portraying such relationships.
It's Father's Day on Sunday and it's time to reflect and remember all dads in our lives.
Today, we list five such movies that you can go ahead and watch with your father:
Kireedam
Father: Achuthan Nair (Thilakan)
Son: Sethumadhavan (Mohanlal)
The movie saw a gripping and emotional relationship between Achuthan Nair and Sethumadhavan. A victim of circumstances, Sethumadhavan develops a strained relationship with father.
Sphadikam
Father:Chacko Mash (Thilakan)
Son: Aadu Thoma (Mohanlal)
This would be probably the best remembered and by far the most classic tale of father and son. Like all fathers, Chacko Mash wants his son to be the best student. However, Aadu Thoma couldn't impress his father, despite trying to be a doting son. But his eventual reconciliation with his father is moving to watch.
Pappayude Swantam Appoos
Father: Balachandran (Mammootty)
Son: Appu (Badusha)
One of the most loved stories, the movie shows how Balachandran unintentionally neglects his only son Appu after the death of his wife and later takes care of him. Well, who can forget the fun-filled dancing moments of the duo in the song 'Olathumbath irunn oonjaladan...'
Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal
Father: Kochuthoma (Thilakan)
Son: Roy Thomas (Jayaram)
Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal is a heartwarming and sweet story of a father and son. Thirumuttathu Kochuthoma is a happy man leading a happy life. But unlike father, his son Roy is an irresponsible and carefree young man. How Kochuthoma tries to change his son's life is a best example for all fathers.
Paithrukam
Father: Devadathan Chemmathiripadu (Narendra Prasad)
Son: Somadathan (Suresh Gopi)
The movie revolves around a traditional Brahmin family and the fight between their beliefs and atheism. The clashing ideologies between Devadathan and Somadathan could be relatable to many father and sons.
