Balachandra Menon
Balachandra Menon is a Malayalam (language of Southern Indian state, Kerala) film director, who also writes and acts in his movies. He made some very popular films in the 1980s and 1990s. He has got into serious acting in others' films recently, with a highly acclaimed performance in the movie Janmantharam .
Along with Fazil and Padmarajan, Balachandra Menon must have introduced the most newcomers into the film industry, notable ones being Shobhana in April 18, Karthika in Manicheppu Thurannappol and Annie in Ammayane Satyam . Many of his better films work on the theme of uncommon relationships of common people. But people tend remember his films as comedies because of box-office hits like Chiriyo Chiri or Kaaryam Nissaram (early 80's).
