一 | As Mohanlal rings in his 65th birthday on May 21, his filmography stands as a towering testament to versatility, longevity, and brilliance. With hundreds of roles under his belt, the actor has explored nearly every genre—from intense family dramas and action thrillers to satirical comedies and metaphysical fantasies. The Legend Beyond the Limelight While hits like Drishyam, Kireedam, Vanaprastham, and Iruvar are rightly celebrated, there’s an equally rich collection of underappreciated films where his talent shines just as brightly, if not more. These films might not have shattered box office records or won national awards, but they reveal the risk-taker and craftsman within the superstar. Here’s our pick of 10 hidden gems from Mohanlal’s staggering career that deserve your attention. 1. Sadayam (1992) Directed by: Sibi Malayil | Written by: M.T. Vasudevan Nair A dark and emotionally searing film, Sadayam sees Mohanlal as Sathyanathan, a man awaiting execution for a horrific crime. But the film gradually unveils the trauma and moral paradoxes that led him there. It’s a rare, gritty portrait of guilt, with Mohanlal delivering a raw, vulnerable performance that remains etched in the minds of those who’ve seen it. 2. Pingami (1994) Directed by: Sathyan Anthikkad Known mostly for slice-of-life dramas, Anthikkad surprised everyone with this somber thriller. Mohanlal plays an army officer drawn into a murder mystery after discovering a dying man's journal. Though the film didn’t generate much buzz at the time, it has since gained cult status for its gripping narrative and Mohanlal’s grounded performance. 3. Aham (1992) Directed by: Rajeevnath In this psychological drama, Mohanlal portrays Siddharthan, a man battling delusions and inner demons after a personal tragedy. This internalised performance, full of nuance and restraint, offers a haunting look at mental deterioration. Though it flew under the radar commercially, Aham remains a hidden treasure for those seeking character-driven storytelling. 4. Devadoothan (2000) Directed by: Sibi Malayil In a shift from conventional thrillers, Devadoothan introduces supernatural intrigue into a musician’s life. Mohanlal plays Vishal, who is mysteriously drawn to a haunted tune connected to a tragic past. The film was ahead of its time and received mixed reactions, but today it's praised for its eerie atmosphere and experimental style. 5. Ayal Kadha Ezhuthukayanu (1998) Directed by: Kamal In this dark comedy, Mohanlal plays a novelist whose fictional stories catch up with him in the real world. It's a clever satire on creative freedom, public perception, and the law. The actor delivers with pitch-perfect timing, balancing humour and gravitas. The film didn’t make waves on release but has since been revisited as a layered, thought-provoking watch. 6. Padamudra (1988) Directed by: R. Sukumaran Here, Mohanlal takes on dual roles: as a son and his estranged father, each shaped by society in opposing ways. The film delves into themes of abandonment, identity, and forgiveness. His performance is powerful and emotional, revealing both rage and regret with remarkable precision. Despite its depth, the film remains overlooked outside of cinephile circles. 7. Rajashilpi (1992) Directed by: R. Sukumaran A poetic and symbolic film, Rajashilpi reimagines the legend of Shiva and Parvati through the lives of a sculptor and his muse. Mohanlal’s portrayal is intense and spiritual, giving life to a deeply metaphorical story. While mainstream audiences didn’t fully connect with the film’s abstract narrative, it stands out as one of his boldest artistic choices. 8. Olympiyan Anthony Adam (1999) Directed by: Bhadran In this underrated cop drama, Mohanlal plays an undercover officer who takes a teaching job at a school to protect a child in danger. What begins as a standard police story soon tackles social issues like abuse and trust in institutions. With understated emotional depth and charm, Mohanlal anchors this thriller with realism. 9. Thiranottam (1978, released 2005) Directed by: Mohan This rarely-seen debut film starred a teenage Mohanlal playing a mentally challenged servant. Though it remained shelved for decades due to censorship, its eventual release showed glimpses of the immense talent that would later define a generation. It’s a humble but significant piece of cinematic history. 10. Guru (1997) Directed by: Rajiv Anchal This philosophical fantasy remains one of Mohanlal’s most intellectually ambitious works. He plays a militant who enters a parallel society where blindness is normal and sight is forbidden. As he begins to understand the roots of fear and ignorance, the film challenges viewers to rethink reality itself. India’s official submission to the Oscars that year, Guru remains criminally under-watched. Timeless, Fearless, and Still Surprising What makes Mohanlal’s career so fascinating is not just the quantity of his work, but the fearless curiosity that drives it. Even at the height of his superstardom, he chose offbeat scripts that explored difficult human truths and artistic experiments. Mohanlal has never shied away from experimenting. These lesser-known films often show him embracing difficult, uncommercial roles that others might reject. Whether it’s dual characters, morally complex figures, or surreal narratives, Mohanlal brings a sense of truth to every role, even when the film around him falters. As he turns 65, his legacy is as much about evolution as it is about consistency. These ten films might not be on every “top 10” list, but they hold a mirror to his creative soul; a man who, despite superstardom, never stopped being an actor first.

二 | 这一回应让球员及其身边团队深感失望。联赛揭幕战后，双方关系进一步恶化。从球队亮相仪式开始，马竞球迷就向阿尔瓦雷斯报以嘘声，当他踏上球场时，嘘声再次响起。
三 | 巨大的压力和糟糕的处境影响了这位前锋的状态；比赛期间，他显得情绪低落、状态沉闷，不仅比赛强度不如往常，也没能像平时那样积极参与高位逼抢。此外，在球队2-2战平对手后，当队友们上前向球迷致意时，他却径直走回了更衣室。他深受打击记者鲁本·乌里亚向天空体育透露，阿尔瓦雷斯对发生的一切感到“深受打击”，目前的局势已变得“极度紧张”。据他了解，阿尔瓦雷斯方面认为米格尔·安赫尔·吉尔·马林是阻碍其转会巴萨的主要责任人，并指责这位俱乐部首席执行官违背了放其离队的承诺。
四 | 马德里竞技方面则持截然不同的说法。俱乐部坚称，阿尔瓦雷斯在签约时完全知晓合同条款（包括解约金条款），并否认曾做出过允许他转会至直接竞争对手的承诺。因此，这家马德里俱乐部坚持拒绝与巴萨进行谈判。阿尔瓦雷斯的不满情绪也指向了西蒙尼，球员及其团队认为，在这场风波中，主帅并未给予他应有的支持。这位前锋曾对主教练寄予厚望，因为正是这位阿根廷教头在说服他离开曼城并投身“红白军团”宏伟计划的过程中发挥了关键作用。
五 | 更衣室内的情绪正变得日益焦躁队友们也并未对这场冲突无动于衷。据西班牙塞尔电台报道，尽管全队和西蒙尼都公开表达了对这位前锋的支持，但目前的局势已开始引发部分马竞球员的不安。球员们理解阿尔瓦雷斯当下的艰难处境，但也担心其未来的不确定性最终会损害球队利益。在主场对阵比利亚雷亚尔的比赛中，大都会球场的一幕尤为引人注目：当球迷将大量注意力集中在这位阿根廷人身上时，他显然受到了持续嘘声的影响，并在全队离场前便独自返回了更衣室。与此同时，马竞坚守着一条底线：绝不放行阿尔瓦雷斯去巴萨。唯一的转机可能来自英超球队的重磅报价，其中阿森纳被视为主要潜在下家。因此，在转会窗口关闭前夕，马竞正处于一触即发的“火药桶”边缘。阿尔瓦雷斯去意已决，他对俱乐部的立场感到不满，对西蒙尼心存怨气，而他的处境也开始在队友间引发紧张气氛。
六 | 如今，解决问题的关键在于与巴萨的谈判——尽管截至目前，双方尚未开启任何实质性接触，而巴萨正是这位阿根廷人唯一心仪的下家。
