In the process, Shammi Kapoor not only laid the way for a host of dancing male leads, from Joy Mukherjee and Jeetendra in his own heyday, and then, down the decades, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Govinda, Shah Rukh Khan, and his own great nephew Ranbir Kapoor, but also transformed the very paradigm of the Hindi film hero, and in a way, Hindi films.

Movie ReviewShamzu Zayba’s film tells the story of Ashokan, a short, dark man with a complex, who is hoping for a woman in his life.CrisA wedding, the bedroom decorated for the first night, a song followed by another and then a dream from which a man wakes up. The first few minutes of Maniyarayile Ashokan brings memories of tiresome sequences from past movies, but luckily someone changes the gear and the movie moves on to newer, likeable territory. Not an entirely untested one. Ashokan, played endearingly by Jacob Gregory, is your short, dark man with a complex, who is hoping for a woman in his life. He looks longingly at newly-weds in an it-could-have-been-me manner, and dreams all too often of weddings and twin children. The premise, at the onset, might remind you of Sreenivasan and his famous character Thalathil Dineshan of Vadakkunokki Yanthram. But Ashokan is not a suspicious man.
