BID ADIEU

Whole of Kerala woke up on this black Monday mourning  the sad demise of one of its illustrious sons of the tinsel world. Though he was ailing for some time, many a follower of his indomitable style on and off the screen ,yours truly included, had fervently prayed to Almighty to make the drugs act on him  to enable Thilakan stage yet another comeback .

Alas, the final curtain has fallen, marking the so called end of a great actor ,I do not know whether I can call him so, because  as we analyse the roles he played all through these years he always seemed to be a next door man ,be it in a role of father ,a tyrant ,a villain, or a government servant. In his last film, a co actor states that role played by Thilakan is no more, only to see Thilakan treading his steps to Holy Mecca few minutes later. It is only befitting that though his mortal remains are no more, Thilakan has left an indelible impression and a stamp of unsurpassable authority on his final way to his celestial abode. May his soul at last rest in peace. May his tribe increase.
