{mosimage}3 years old career, 19 movies, millions of fans but a fondful remeberance even after so many years ever since she quit, - this just summarises the immortality of Manju Warrier. The very mention of name itself lits up the malayalam movie goers across the world. Very few are blessed by the God to be respected and loved by the fans as if the artiste is their home member and Manju happens to be one among them. Manju Warrier is still a demi goddess when it comes to the Malayalam cinema, even though she never appeared on screen or even on TV after her self imposed retirement. Reams of papers had been written, millions of hearts stolen, yet nobody complained.

Infact I was attracted to Malayalam movies solely because of her charismatic presence. The first time I saw Manju was on the song "Varamanjnaladiya.." from Pranayavarnangal, while channel surfing. Never in my dreams I expected that my movie preference is going to take a great shift from that moment. I started seeing Asianet for that song, and slowly I got hooked to the malayalam cinema seriously. I had seen almost all of her movies except a very few. Manju is unarguably the finest ever appeared on Malayalam cinema. If it was not Manju I still would have been thinking that Malayalam film industry is an art film industry, I would have missed those beautiful movies straight out of life, and mostly the mallu beauties... ha! ha! ha!

{mosimage}Manju Warrier, born on 1st Nov, 1978, hailing from Nagercoil was inclined towards arts and bagged the prestigous "Kalathilakam" title, a state level youth festival in Kerala for two consecutive years. Seeing her photographs in the magazines, famous scriptwriter Lohitadas (same man who discovered Meera Jasmine years later), launched her in "Sallapam" along with Dileep, who went to become her real life husband later. Then there was no looking back for this cute actress, until she called it quits. Before that she had done a bit role in "Sakshyam". Producer "Kireedom" Unni raves that she was promising in that role, but Manju differs that they had another girl as standby through out the shoot.

{mosimage}Manju is probably the only most unanimously loved heroine in Malayalam cinema. She had fans from all quarters. Ladies loved her as their daughters, young girls as their friend and for the guys - the girl whom they wanted to take her to their mom. Not from only audiences, she was a hot favourite among the scriptwriters and directors also. Scripts were written revolving her as a strong protagonists. Just by the time she had finished her dozen movies, she had achieved the rare feat of being listed in the veterans league. And Manju is a good singer too. She had released an album on "Onapaattukkal" and "Chembzhukka.." in her last release "Kannezhuthi Pottum thottu.."
