Balan's Kamalam Restaurant — Restaurant in Kerala

Wanted to enjoy the delicious mutton curry today from Balan's Kamalam Restaurant and had placed an order, big enough to feed five people, via Zomato. Restaurent cancelled entire order without reason and Zomato initiated refund but I was not notified. All I got from Zomato over 30 minutes were countless uninvested apologies and a request to place a fresh order. First they said it was a glitch, then they said items were unavailable but I could still somehow place a fresh order(?). Then they said items are available and I could place same order from here. Escalated the contradictory "support" to a "senior" executive but I lost more time since he didn't have anything new to offer. He kept apologising even after I requested him to stop annoying me with a "sorry" at the beginning of every sentence which convinced me that they were not listening to thier customers but instead lagging the conversation for a payday. Called restaurent to confirm before risking a reorder but nobody picked up. I've lost confidence ordering food from here through online channels, which I solely rely upon. Settled my hunger with tea and snacks but the cravings persist. As you can infer, I tried my best to stay loyal to you but Zomato's useless support and your silence during and after the order rejection is a red flag for me. Hoping that my grievance would only help the restaurant and future online customers. I will reconsider buying from you once I'm convinced that my efforts aren't in...

M.K. Kamalam, 86, heroine of the first Malayalam talkie, Balan, died here on Tuesday. She had been keeping indifferent health for many months. The end came at the Government Medical College Hospital here, where she was admitted three weeks ago.

Kamalam was born in 1924 to Kochupillai Panicker and Karthiyani in Kumarakom. She had become an established theatre person at the age of 15 when she entered the tinsel world in 1939 as the heroine of Balan.

In fact, she had joined the world of acting when she was in the fourth standard. Her first drama was Parijatham, in which she acted along with her father. This was followed by a string of successful dramas, including Pushpaharam, Alli Rani, Shakuntalam and Satyavan Savithri.

In Balan, she had portrayed the role of young girl who had abandoned her home after being victimised by her stepmother. As other stars of the time, she was a singing star, rendering four of the 23 songs in Balan.

Kamalam bid farewell to the tinsel world after acting in two more films, Bhootharayar and Shayanam.

She leaves behind three daughters. Her husband, V.K. Damodaran, died earlier.

The body of Kamalam was brought to the house of her daughter Indulekha at T.V. Puram, Vaikom, late in the night. The cremation will take place in the compound of the house with full State honours...
