Mammootty and Mohanlal is considered to be the greatest actors in India. In terms of Acting caliber they are as good as the best in the world. They have been the backbone of Malayalam industry for 3 decades. All these years malayalees loved them and still now have a huge fan following varying from Teen to Old aged.

Everything you should know about Mohanlal
Everything you should know about Mammootty
 
.....................................................................................................................................................................
NOW a brief study of their acting career and judging them with the roles they have done :

Mohanlal is known to be inborn actor ,undoubtedly yes and its clear from his movies.Mammootty is criticized or it can be taken as plus that he isn't a natural actor. Mammootty answers the questioning of his acting capability through his award showcase.It can be noted that Mammootty gives different feel for each of his characters with variety looks and dialogue delivery styles.Some of his characters like Ambedhkar, Varunni ,Putturumees are examples. Mohanlal has his own realistic way of acting and it will be reflected in each of his characters. He manages each character with great ease and have got many appreciation from legends of all time.

LET US CHECKOUT A DETAILED CATEGORICAL COMPARISON :


COMEDY :
                         Mohanlal , he is undisputed king in comedy.His movies in 20th century are evergreen for its comedy.Movies of priyadarshan-mohanlal combo are just few examples. He rose into the current fame through Comedy. Everyone(including me) believed comedy won't go right with Mammootty.Lately he proved he isn't bad at all with few movies like rajamanikyam.


ACTION :  
                      Am totally confused.Leaving this to you guys.


ROMANCE :

                      Mohanlal has hundreds of movies in his credit.Even then there are some favorite characters done by Mammootty.
                 While Mammootty have been a family man in his movies, Mohanlal a romantic hero in their respective old movies.

SONGS :

                           Mohanlal's career is blessed with Classic Songs. Actually we malayalees are blessed :)
Mammootty's rakuyillin raja sadas is outstanding among his movies.


EMOTIONAL SCENES :


                    Vote goes to Mammootty.When he cries something really touches our heart.He has great ability in that. Valsalyam, Palunku, Poo Mukha Padiyil Ninneyum Kathu, Pappayude swantham Appoose, Karutha Pakshikal, Kathodu Kathoram, Mathilukal, Yathra and many more.
But I love the climax scene from chithram which is incredibly awesome.

VOCALS AND DIALOGUE DELIVERY :

                I will eagerly write an essay appreciating Mammootty's dialogue delivery skill. He is having wonderful vocals and best masculine voice in the industry. His dialogues in English are pakka.Compare the difference in dialogue delivery styles in movies like Mrigaya, Vidheyan, Ambedkar, Soorya Manasam, Kottayam kunjachan,, Ponthan Maada, Karutha Pakshikal, Dalapathy, Raja Manikyam,  Amaram, Mathilukal, Sethu Ramayaar CBI ,Pranjiyettan, Loudspeaker, Bus conductorChattambinaadu and..........
Mohanlal is at his best in Narasimham in the above category. Each dialogues had great impact - the way he delivered was unbelievable. And yeah his punch dialogues like 'nee poo mone dinesha' are all time trend setters.

NEGATIVE ROLES :
Mohanlal is better than Mammootty in the above category.


APPEARANCE AND STYLE ICON :

       Mammootty is damn hot in every sense.He was even selected as sexiest actor by a poll conducted by vanitha among its female readers.He is considered as Style Icon
by the present generation too.He is evergreen in his looks.Will u believe that Mohanlal is around 10 year younger than Mammootty.
Mohanlal has his own style.He recent best look is in chandrolsavam and casanovva. He looks best in mundu.


BEST INTRODUCTION SCENES OF BOTH :

            Mohanlal - Narasimham,Sagar Alias Jacky
            Mammootty - Best Actor, PokkiriRaja
Some more suggestions....

DANCE :

OMG....i hate when Mammootty dances and yeah most of malayalees.But the few steps from Best Actor were well choreographed and well picturised.
And of course I love the way Mohanlal dance.

    3. First of all I liked the way you compared. I likes both MAMMOOKKA and LALETTAN. But openly speaking i like mammootty more because as you told his dialogue delivery is just awesome.
      and i like his action scenes more and he is the best as a natupramani (Dhruvam, Thalapathy)

  13. Everybody has their own opinion & likes about Mammootty and Mohanlal. They are not comparable because they have different presentation in expressions, dialogs, comedy, dance, for fighting. Some people like Mohanlal's presentation and some people like Mammotty's presentation. Some people including me like both of them.. :)

    1. He never called himself a complete actor...Stop bullshitting and think about your Mammootty who is rude and arrogant in his nature & knows only to scold beat/slap and insult the common man..!!
      .
      Thats what u call a SHAMELESS Attitude...!!
      .
      And Mammootty is shameless/worst in that aspect..!! He thinks that he's the only one known as Megastar while even this title officially belongs to Chiranjeevi as he's the Megastar of Indian cinema.
      .
      Mammootty-->Shame shame....so unbecoming of himself and an absolute disgrace to the entire film industry.

  18. Mammootty is no where near to compare with peak Mohanlal, even Mammootty knows that very well. There is an unnoticed fact, from early years itself Mohanlal is said to be a lazy actor and Mammootty as a hardworker in acting. It's bcoz Mohanlal has no pre-planning or doing no homework for acting, his charactors lives only in the interval of Action & Cut, he is acting with that much ease & has no stress for becoming a charactor while Mammootty and other actors including Kamal haasan,Nasirudeen shah etc(also Marlon Brando,Robert de nero etc) are hardly trying to become a charactor and doing great homeworks, mental works and researches for moulding a charactor. And their charactors lives inside them even after completion of shoot. This indicates that Mohanlal is the greatest actor the world has ever saw with his extreme ease in acting with spontaneous acting skills and at the natural best with perfection which no other known actors in this world have.

  26. In one comment above, they have said that Mohanlal is even better than kamala Hasan. Kamala Hasan is leaps and bounds above both these Malayalam actors. Both of them are good, but Kamal simply stands above them. Kamal simply stands above them by the sheer variety of roles he has taken up and carried them out with consummate ease. The strength of Kamal lies in the fact that he can effect a comedy role with the same ease he carries out a serious role. In dialogue delivery also Kamal is unparalleled as he can take up various styles of Tamil that is being practiced all over Tamilnadu ( coimbatore style, Madurai style, Chennai style or thirunelveli style etc) and come up trumps in all styles. Not easy at all. It is absolutely difficult as each style has a different characteristic and even so much difference in pronunciation as well. Agree that both Mohanlal and Mammooty are very good actors. But Kamal Hasan definitely stands above them. I cannot say that confidently when I compare them with Rajni Kanth or any other actor.

  28. kAMAL IS A MADED ACTOR.BUT MOHAN LAL IS A BORN ACTOR.ALSO THE PERFORMANCE VICE HE IS NATURAL.CANNOT FEEL HE IS ACTING.SOOO NATURAL.

  29. Mammooty and Mohanlal are two of the finest actors of the country. Malayalam film industry is privileged to have them.Mammooty is someone who puts in a lot of effort to act. But he gives what is best for the character. The characters he played inVadakkan veera gadha, Bhoothakannadi, New Delhi, Valsalyam and many more, brought out his acting excellence, apart from the many commercial films like The King, Rajamanikkam and the likes.However, as an actor Mammooty has certain limitations, compared to Mohanlal.For instance, Mammooty may not be effective in doing a kamaladalam or a vanaprastham. Mohanlal, as is said, is a natural actor who can fit into 'almost' every character with ease. His characters in bharatham, dasharatham, his highness abdulla, kireedam, chenkol and many other films, showcased the brilliance of an actor. Nadodikkattu series, Mazha peyunnu madhallam kottunnu, Aaram thampuran were some of the many commercial films starring Mohanlal.In short, both Mammooty and Mohanlal are supremely talented actors of the Malayalam film industry. However, if I am supposed to pick one among them, I would pick Mohanlal, with all due respect to Mammooty.

  31. Both are best the indian film industry will ever get, they cannot be compared with a common scale, as they differ differently in the finest performance which the acting industry could have...you will relly enjoy both of them, if you closely watch their perfect movies..

  34. Guys, here now comparison is required, after mammootty only mohanalal comes. The same way after sathyan, Nazeer and Jayan only mammootty and mohanlal comes... eveeyone is taleneted in their acting skills, however some special style will have impacts and that inspire people, that does not mean that others are bad. I request you guys to think that mammootty and mohanlal are living legends in indian cinema and out previlege....rather fingting each other... comparison wont give you desirable answers...becz boh are supreme in their skills
