Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha

This historical epic was directed by Hariharan, a Malayali, and won four National Film Awards. Mammootty plays Chanthu Chevakar, a dangerous Keralite warrior from the sixteenth century. In contrast, the film portrays Chanthu sympathetically as a misunderstood historical figure. Mammootty received his first National Film Award for this film.

Mathilukal

It was directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan and was nominated for four National Film Awards. Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, played by Mammootty, is a prisoner who falls in love with a female inmate, Narayani, who he never meets and only appears as a voice in the film.

Vidheyan

This Adoor Gopalakrishnan film is about the dysfunctional relationship between a slave named Thommy (M. R. Gopakumar) and his cruel owner, Bhaskara Patelar (Mammootty). Patelar coerces Thommy into murdering Saroja (Tanvi Azmi), the former’s wife, and sexually abuses Thommy’s wife. For this and Ponthan Mada, Mammootty received his second National Film Award.

Ponthan Mada

This T. V. Chandran-directed film also won four National Film Awards, one of which was given to Mammootty. Unlike Vidheyan, the film focuses on a compassionate bond between a colonial landowner (Naseeruddin Shah) and a low-caste man (Mammootty).

Mammootty plays Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the Father of the Indian Constitution who fought against Dalit prejudice, in this biographical film. Mammootty received his third National Film Award for this role.

Adiyozhukkukal

For his performance as Karunan, Mammootty received the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor.

Aavanazhi

Mammootty plays the lead character, Balram, a police inspector. This video speaks to current social and political issues. The success of Aavanazhi spawned the sequels ‘Inspector Balram’ and ‘Balram vs. Taradas.’
