Kerala Tips

This week Malayalam movie awards were announced.

Best film - Drishtantham
Best director - Lenin Rajendran(Rathri Mazha)
Best actor - Prithviraj (Vasthavam)
Best actress - Urvasi (Madhuchandralekha)

Immediately after the announcement, the jury started getting abusive and threatening calls. The problem is simple, everyone was expecting an award or was expecting an award for his/her favorite actor or movie!

Main problem was that Prithviraj has got a lot of enemies in Malayalam cinema. So everyone says there were good mammootty films and jury ignored it. I was laughing on the floor when I read director Blessy’s interview.

Blessy says - “The best film award is unfair. I was expecting an award. I didn’t get one. Also I was expecting an award for Mammootty. This is not fair, jury didn’t give awards according to my expectation”.

I guess, we overestimate intelligence of movie directors! In Malayalam we say, “kittatha mundiri pulikkum”.

Just like we abolished SSLC rank system, we can abolish movie awards, or better still, government can ban entire movie industry. Then there won’t be any problem of piracy and Rishiraj singh can take rest.

The question “what will people in cinema industry will do for a living?” doesn’t arise. They can do whatever the CD shop owners and employees will be doing once their shops are shutdown.
