The shades of Mohanlal in Dulquer's 'Charlie'

Dulquer and Soubin from 'Charlie'

Some people call Charlie, a modern day version of 'Unnikale or Kadha Parayam'. Many comparisons have been drawn over time about Dulquer Salman's character in Charlie and Mohanlal. No offence to DQ, but how I wished Mohanlal had done this script at his prime. The character seems to be tailor made for Mohanlal, eccentric and unpredictable characters have always been a cake walk for him. 

I was watching this particular scene from Charlie when Soubin's character 'Suni' breaks into Charlie's house. The scene soon breaks into a dialogue sequence over some alcohol. This scene and the mannerisms of Dulquer reminded me of Mohanlal and I am sure that I have seen this scene many times before, especially when he says the dialogue below and the body language that goes with it, 

പേരായാൽ ഒരു മജ്ജ വേണം.. കാൾ മാർക്സ്.. റോസാ ലക്സമ്പർഗ്.. വി എസ് അച്യുതാനന്ദൻ.. വി എസ് ഒപി..  ഇത് ചുമ്മാ സുനികുട്ടൻ ..

  The house break-in scene from Charlie.

I remember reading this article where B Unnikrishnan compared Dulquer's character in Charlie and Mohanlal during the time of release.
