Popular comedian Kalabhavan Haneef who has acted in over 150 Malayalam films besides numerous TV serials passed away here on Thursday. He was ailing from breathing issues and on Wednesday was rushed to a hospital here where his condition deteriorated and passed away in the evening.
The 60 year old actor started as a mimicry artiste and right from his school days he was into mimicry.
In the mid eighties, he joined the then hugely popular troupe of Kalabhavan and since then didn’t look back and soon shot to fame as an actor.
His long time friend and fellow artiste Ramesh Pisharody said Haneef was a gentle person and was loved by all.
“He never complained that his role was only small and short. It was never the length of his roles as he did it well and hence was a popular artiste,” said Pisharody.
His latest release ‘Garudan’ is presently running to packed house.

TributeThe actor and entertainer from Kerala passed away on February 22, at the age of 42, from a liver disease.The very mention of Subi Suresh may bring, to those familiar with her onstage work in Kerala, a lot of mirth and laughter.

ReviewThe script is a big letdown, hardly managing to keep your interest even as it revolves around a murder mystery.CrisCBI 5 / FacebookNostalgia for the beloved Cbi movie series, if you have any, is likely to end with the opening credits of the fifth and latest in the series – Cbi 5: The Brain. The joy of once again hearing the cherished theme music and snippets of famous lines from the earlier movies sprinkled across the titles puts you in a different mood, eager and expectant. But what follows is somewhat of a kick in the teeth. Even Mammootty, reprising the adored role of Sethurama Iyer, that invincible sleuth who never fails, can do little to save the film. It is sad to write this about a series that began so very charmingly towards the end of the 80s, made by director K Madhu and scripted by Sn Swamy. The duo produced...

ReviewThe movie does manage to build suspense. But in the second half, it suddenly appears like the script changed hands.CrisInside Archana’s cramped room is a calendar that she opens every time a marriage proposal flops. There are thirty markings on it, reasons for every bombed proposal captioned with cricketing terms – run out, wide, match fixing, third umpire and so on. It’s almost a mechanical process, something she has to get finished before hurriedly wrapping a saree around her and running after a bus to go to work. Archana 31 Not Out begins by setting the scene of this very ordinary life of a woman in her late 20s, getting prepared for an arranged marriage, working at a school and making ends meet. The smooth beginning, however, goes down a slippery slope, as the movie, in its rush to pass on a delectable message, forgets the path it set.
