Karthikeyan from Ravanaprabhu – Mohanlal’s Most Masculine Role Ever?
Mohanlal has played many iconic dominant male characters—Aadu Thoma, Mangalassery Neelakandan, Induchoodan, —but for me, Karthikeyan from Ravanaprabhu is on another level.
This character isn’t just about raw power; it’s about controlled dominance. Karthikeyan doesn’t beg, doesn’t plead—he commands respect without even trying. His dialogue delivery is calm but deadly, his actions are calculated, and his presence alone is enough to make people shiver.
That Toyota Prado, the cigar in his mouth, the slow, confident walk—he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Unlike his father, Neelakandan, who had emotional outbursts and arrogance, Karthikeyan is refined, composed, and untouchable.
Even in love, he plays a different game. He loves Janaki, but he doesn’t show desperation or weakness. No over-the-top romance, no emotional breakdowns—just a man who lets his presence speak louder than words.
For me, this is the peak of masculinity in Mohanlal’s career. What do you guys think?
