Thalasthanam (transl. The Capital) is a 1992 Malayalam-language crime action film written by Renji Panicker and directed by Shaji Kailas. The film stars Suresh Gopi in the lead role, along with Geetha, Narendra Prasad, Monisha, M. G. Soman, K. B. Ganesh Kumar and Vijayakumar in supporting roles. The film explores the concepts of campus politics and the impact of anti social elements in students.[1][2]
The film is believed to be based on Renji Panicker's experiences in campus politics during his collage days. The film was shot extensively in and around Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and the Kerala University campus. Renji Panicker, Chippy and Vijayakumar debuted as actors through this film. Johnson composed the film's soundtrack and score, while Ravi K. Chandran and L. Bhoominathan handled the cinematography and editing respectively.[3]
Thalasthanam was released on 12 July 1992 and was one of highest grossing Malayalam films of 1992. The film was a landmark film in Suresh Gopi's career as the success of the film established him as a bankable lead actor and was his first step towards superstardom. The film is also noted to be the first of the Shaji-Renji mass films which go on to become the outline of their future works. The film enjoys a cult status even after decades after its release.[4] Narendra Prasad received praise for his performance as the antagonist. The film was remade in Telugu as Rajadhani.[5][6]
