'Vinodayathra' revives Dileep's career

"Vinodayathra" continues to top the list of favourite Malayalam films as new release "Goal" makes an entry on fifth position.

The top five Malayalam films are:

1. "Vinodayathra" - This family entertainer, directed by veteran Sathyan Anthikad and starring Dileep and Meera Jasmine, has ended the lull in the hero's career.

2. "Big B" - After "Mayavi", this is yet another winner for Mammootty, directed by Amal Neerad. The film depends on style rather than content. It seems the style may prove to be a trendsetter in Malayalam cinema.

3. "Chotta Mumbai" - After a long gap one gets to see Mohanlal in an out-and-out comedy role. Director Anwar Rasheed puts his own stamp on the film.

4. "Athisayam" - The fantasy film by Vinayan, targeting kids with a bagful of special effects, does succeed in luring the young audience.

5. "Goal" - Director Kamal is on familiar turf, directing a host of newcomers in a film with football and boarding school as its backdrop.
