Dear Sreenivasan,
It must have been hard to try and top Nadodikattu. But you almost pulled it off. Pattana Pravesham had its share of ingenious gags and comedic set pieces, some of which measured up to the ones in Nadodikattu. So good job, Sreeni. Once again, you and Mohanlal were supported by a very able cast featuring Karamana, Philomena, Nedumudi, KPAC and NL Balakrishnan. The part where you and Thilakan (as MN Nambiar) are on a cycle wearing wigs is one of the best comedy scenes in the history of Malayalam cinema.
As a small kid, I attended the shooting of Pattana Pravesham at Ambala Mugal. I personally witnessed the filming of the final scene where you and Mohanlal drive away in a Benz. I even got myself photographed with Mohanlal. But I seem to have lost that photograph. Like so many other things in my life. It is sad. But watching Pattana Pravesham always cheers me up.
Best Regards, Pimpin.
