പലിശക്കാരനായാല് മറ്റേയാള്ക്കും പലിശക്കാരനാകണം. ഒരാള് നാടകം കളിച്ചാല് മറ്റേയാള്ക്കും അത് ചെയ്തേ തീരു. കഴിഞ്ഞ കുറെക്കാലമായി മലയാള സിനിമയിലെ രസതന്ത്രം അങ്ങനെയാണ്.
സൂപ്പറുകള് തമ്മില് അടയും ചക്കരയുമാണെങ്കിലും ഇരുവരുടെയും ഫാന്സുകാര് നടത്തുന്ന ചക്കളത്തിപോരാട്ടത്തിന് ഇതൊക്കെ കൂടിയേ തീരൂ. മമ്മൂട്ടിയും ലാലും പലിശക്കാരായെത്തിയ മാടമ്പിയേയും പരുന്തിനെയും ചുറ്റിപ്പറ്റി ആരാധകര് കാട്ടിക്കൂട്ടിയ പുക്കാറുകളൊന്നും ജനം മറന്നിട്ടില്ല.
ഇപ്പോള് ഭൂതമായി പട്ടണത്തെ വിറപ്പിയ്ക്കുന്ന തിരക്കിലാണ് മമ്മൂക്ക. ഭൂതത്തെ കണ്ട് വിരണ്ട് ജനം തിയറ്ററില് നിന്നും കയറുമോയെന്ന് കണ്ടറിയണം. എന്തായാലും ഭൂതമായി മമ്മൂക്ക അരങ്ങ് തകര്ക്കുമ്പോള് ലാലേട്ടന് മിണ്ടാതിരുന്നാല് ശരിയാവില്ല. ലാലേട്ടന് മിണ്ടിയില്ലേലും ആരാധകര്ക്ക് അടങ്ങിയിരിക്കാന് പറ്റില്ലല്ലോ? അവരെ സമാധാനപ്പെടുത്താന് ലാലേട്ടനും അത്തരമൊരു സാഹസത്തിന് ഒരുങ്ങുകയാണ്.
