2 Nov 1937 – 29 Jan 2008 | Remembering Bharath Gopi

Bharath Gopi was to me, one of the last ‘living art institutions’ in Malayalam Cinema. I say this with all the respect, love, admiration and affection for an actor who always seemed to cross the barriers of the process called ‘Acting’ into ‘Being’ and then back effortlessly. He also did in between, play the craftsman, by even creating his interpretations of the very art form that he was a part of  (can one ever forget Ulsavapittennu (1989) and the deeply moving Yamanam (1991), earning accolades for the too. These souls come scarce.
