Versiones alternativas
After its theatrical release, one of the first home media editions, which were the VHS cassettes, contained the theatrical version of the film. These editions had a limited release in India and overseas and became popular in the Gulf market. However, almost four scenes, totaling about 10 minutes of the film, were deleted in the subsequent home media releases in India, particularly in the VCD and DVD editions. The TV versions also used the cut versions, which were almost identical to the VCD and DVD editions. The remastered version, which was re-released in theaters in 2024, was also the cut version.

One of the greatest Malayalam movies ever made

The first half of Manichithrathazhu may be slow, but the second half becomes gripping. The amazing climax, featuring Shobana's spectacular dance with her partner, pushes this movie from a simple Malayalam thriller to the level of high art. Although the film isn't perfect--there are minor plot holes, and Mohanlal's entertaining performance goes over the top in some scenes--Manichithrathazhu is one of the best Indian movies I've seen.

After watching this movie, I couldn't believe it was directed by Fazil, the same guy who churned out overly sentimental mush like Aniyathi Pravu (1997) and shameless, cookie-cutter Hollywood remakes like Life Is Beautiful (2000). Manichithrathazhu has to be the high point of Fazil's career.

After a lifetime of avoiding most Malayalam movies like the plague, old classics like this film are turning me into a big fan of Malu films. Also, after watching his charismatic performances in films like Nadodikattu (1987), Pattana Pravesham (1988), Akkare akkare akkare (1990), and Manichithrathazhu, I find myself becoming an enthusiastic fan of Mohanlal. If you're not already a Mohanlal fan, watching Manichithrathazhu may make you one.
