Bharat Gopy as Tablist Ayyappan in Yavanika

അയ്യപ്പന്റെ തിരോധാനത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് അന്വേഷിക്കുന്ന ഈരാളി എന്ന പൊലീസ് ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്റെ ബുദ്ധികൂര്‍മ്മത ചിത്രത്തെ ആദിമദ്യാന്തം ഉദ്വേഗജനകമാക്കുന്നു. കുറ്റവാളിയെ കണ്ടെത്താന്‍ ഈരാളി സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്ന വഴികള്‍ പൊലീസ് അന്വേഷണത്തിന്റെ കാണാപ്പുറങ്ങള്‍ അനാവരണം ചെയ്തു. കഥയുടെ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിലെ സൂക്ഷ്മതകള്‍ പോലും ചോര്‍ന്നുപോകാതെ ചിത്രം പകര്‍ത്തിയെടുക്കാന്‍ കെ ജി ജോര്‍ജിനു കഴിഞ്ഞു.

Jai Arjun Singh on Aghaat, and Govind Nihalani’s use of actors

Posted by on in Aghaat (1985), BHARAT GOPY'S MOVIES, PRESS MENTIONS

Om-Puri-Aghaat-1985

Brooding intensity is sometimes an overrated quality in actors, but Puri’s performances as the mute victim of caste discrimination in Aakrosh and as the introspecting policeman in Ardh Satya are outstanding. As Madhav, a sincere man who begins to despair of the moral ambiguities he finds himself facing, he dominates Aghaat, which is some achievement considering the many acting heavyweights on view here. (The Malayali actor Bharath Gopi, as the menacing Krishnan, is another standout.)

A classic called ‘Yavanika’

Posted by on in PRESS MENTIONS, Yavanika (1982)

Bharat-Gopy-in-Yavanika

Bharat Gopy has fond memories of the film. The moustache that my character, Ayyappan, sported was real. George made me pose for still photographs in the costumes of Ayyappan and that was it. The entire shoot was in the suburbs of Thiruvananthapuram (Vattiyoorkavu).

The theatre, the house to which I bring Jalaja, were all located nearby. If my memory serves me right, the name of the studio was ‘Sreekrishna Studio.’

Gopy seeks no glamour.

Posted by on in PRESS INTERVIEWS, PRESS MENTIONS

Gopy seeks no glamour.

The award-winning effort in Kodiyettam was only the second and his swan-song for the screen could be the role of a circus company manager in ‘Thambu’, directed by Aravindan, the tall, bald, unassuming and soft-spoken Gopy hinted. Quite unlike other role-hunting, individualistic, selfish, mercenary stars, Gopy is concerned about the total impact of a film. His concept and approach to the medium are also different. Success depends on the co-operation of the artistes and the technicians, he says.
