The Impact of Mohanlal’s Allapicha Mollakka Character on Social Media: A Look at Kathal’s Success and Controversy

Discussion Sparked on Social Media Over Mohanlal’s Portrayal in ‘Kathal’

By Entertainment Desk, November 27, 2023

Social media is buzzing with discussions surrounding Mohanlal’s performance in the film ‘Kathal’, which has garnered numerous positive reviews and box office success. The portrayal of a homosexual character by Mammootty in ‘Kaathil’ was well-received by the audience, but some comments on social media suggest that ‘this scene has long been abandoned.’

Notably, actors like Prithviraj in ‘Mumbai Police’ and Nivin Pauly in ‘Moothon’ have also portrayed homosexual characters. However, it is worth mentioning that Mohanlal had previously played a homosexual character named ‘Allapicha Mollaka.’

The character of Allapicaha Mollaka originates from OV Vijayan’s epic poem ‘The Legend of Khazak’, which was adapted into a documentary film in 2003. Despite the lack of social media at the time, Mohanlal’s portrayal of this character did not receive much attention. However, with the release of ‘Kathal’, social media is abuzz with discussions about Mohanlal’s earlier portrayal.

Commenting on Mohanlal’s portrayal, a social media user stated, “This scene has left Laletan for a long time, we have to admit the courage Mohanlal showed to play such a role in 2003, Laletan’s role was Allappichcha Mollaka in the legend of Khazak years before Mammootty, Prithviraj and Nivin thought about homosexuality.”

Meanwhile, ‘Kathal’ hit the theaters on November 23 and has quickly amassed close to 6 crore at the box office. The film features Jyothika as Mammootty’s heroine, alongside RS Panicker, Sudhi Kozhikode, Chinnu Chandini, Muthumani, and many other talented stars.

Mohanlal’s film has become a topic of discussion on social media when ‘Kathal’, which is getting many positive reviews, is a success at the box office. When Mammootty came out as gay in Kaathil, the audience took it. But social media is full of comments saying ‘this scene has long been abandoned’.

Prithviraj in the film ‘Mumbai Police’ and Nivin Pauly in the film ‘Moothon’ played homosexual characters. But before this, Mohanlal had played a homosexual character. That character is ‘Allapicha Mollaka’.

OV Vijayan’s epic poem ‘The Legend of Khazak’ was turned into a documentary film in 2003. Allapicha Mollaka is a character in this. Since there was no social media back then, this character was not discussed much. After the release of Kathal, the video of Mohanlal’s character is doing rounds on social media.

“This scene has left Laletan for a long time, we have to admit the courage Mohanlal showed to play such a role in 2003, Laletan’s role was Allappichcha Mollaka in the legend of Khazak years before Mammootty, Prithviraj and Nivin thought about homosexuality.”

Meanwhile, Kathal hit the theaters on November 23. Box office trackers share the information that the film has collected close to 6 crore within days. When Jyothika appeared as Mammootty’s heroine, RS Panicker, Sudhi Kozhikode, Chinnu Chandini, Muthumani and many other stars also played roles in the film.
