11. Suraj Venjaramoodu in Action Hero Biju

Actors worldwide say that making people laugh is tricky. Just as hard for a comedic actor is to get out of that role and show how serious he can be as an actor. In Action Hero Biju, it only takes Suraj Venjaramoodu 10 minutes to do this, which is a surprise, given how easy it is. In this movie, directed by Abrid Shine, he walks in as a man who wants to report his missing wife to the cops. When he finds out that she ran away with her lover and that his daughter, whom he loved very much, was not his. It’s the most powerful scene in the movie. It’s a very moving act.

12. Kalpana in Charlie

Martin Prakkat’s film is about the life of Charlie, played by Dulquer Salmaan, who is a loud, colorful, and wanderer who helps people and solves problems. Kalpana’s “Queen Mary” is someone he meets on one of these missions and forces to go on a ship at midnight.

She is a sex worker, and HIV has been found in her. They even have a small fish-cutting party for her birthday, and then she jumps into the ocean. It’s one of Kalpana’s best characters and gives you a lump in your throat.

13. Oduvil Unnikrishnan in Devasuram

Devasuram is a movie about the highs and lows of Mangalassery Neelakandan’s life. It was directed by IV Sasi, written by Ranjith, and played by Mohanlal to perfection. Neelakandan has a bad name, but he has always been a fan of music and dance and greatly respects artists.

This appearance by Oduvil as percussionist Peringode Sankara Marar is memorable for two reasons:

• a) their friendship is a sight for sore eyes (Lal and Oduvil have great chemistry),
• b) Oduvil plays the instrument with the skill of a master.

The strength of their friendship can’t be shown any better than in the scene where Marar goes to see his hurt friend and gives him a piece of music as medicine.

14. Kuthiravattam Pappu in Vellanakalude Naadu

Sreenivasan works with Priyadarshan and Kuthiravattam Pappu, who is one of the best comedy actors, to make one of the most epic cameos in the history of Malayalam film. He shows up as a mechanic who says he did brave things at the “Thamarassery Churam” and thinks fixing a road roller is easy. “Ippo sheriyakki tharam,” I’ll fix it right now he tells everyone.

But he keeps fiddling with the road roller, and “now” never comes. Johny Lever played the same part in the Hindi version of the movie Khatta Meeta, but it could have been better than the original.

15. Suresh Gopi in Innale

Shobana is trying to remember something in this 1999 movie written and directed by Padmarajan. Even though the story soon follows a love story between Jayaram and Shobana, Suresh Gopi makes the most touching part of the movie. He is her husband Narendran, and when he comes to her new house, he has pictures of their wedding with him to prove it.

She walks in with a smile, doesn’t seem to notice anyone, and goes into the kitchen with her lover. The husband stares at her for a few minutes before getting up and leaving. And Suresh Gopi gets the show all by himself.
