Who will save Malayalam film industry?


COMMENTS:| 2 comments »Read Comments | Post Comment


The reasons are countless. The Malayalam film industry is going through a tough weather.It became a non profitable business.Only few very few movies which released last year made profits. The production costs of movies sky rocketed without even considering that the Malayalam movies are targeted at a small community called "Mallus".
We lost some great actors and personalities in recent times. Muarli,N F Varghese, Ratheesh,Sreenadh,Rajan P Dev,Lohithadas and many others.The gap they introduced in Malayalam film industry is difficult to fill.

The allegations are that super stars are charging hefty amounts for each movie. But are they giving a guaranteed output? No. that is a fact.Then comes television.Numerous channels and reality shows
.Families are glued to television channels.Going to to movie theater (Cinema) and watching a movie became a burden.
So why to waste time? You will get the Original CD or DVD of the movie in a couple of weeks!
Malayalam movie industry is slowly losing its glitter. The quality of the movies transformed into hero centric comedies.Looks like all stars want to do super human characters.
They have fans association. Till few years back we used to laugh at other film industries for having fans association and the kind of acts they used to do.
Now we have fans associations for each stars ,and they are ready to go to any extend to promote their stars!!
Is this Kerala???
Who will save Malayalam movie industry?

Sashi Tharoor ,IPL ,Indian Politics and Kerala People.


COMMENTS:| 4 comments »Read Comments | Post Comment


Sashi Tharoor - Lalit Modi episode has already created many dramatic events in Indian Politics.Frankly , we have thousands of politicians in India who are having criminal backgrounds, and many of them are experts in corruptions and scams.There are 'n' number of such politicians still occupying ministerial posts in many state governments across India.
Sashi Tharoor with a very interesting past experience with enormous international diplomatic experience and with a clear vision surely cannot be considered one among them.Even though few of his statements like 'Cattle class' and his stay @ 5 star hotel has created some negative impression.
Is the Sunanda Pushkarni factor was that critical? Was that such an ugly example of corruption or official power misuse? If that is the case,then what about case of those numerous corrupted politicians in India?
Political parties across all alliances have the history of supporting at least one politician with criminal/corruption background.Are they all clean and 'ideal' politicians?
Income tax department gave clean chit to Sashi Tharoor.They declared that he has not benefited from the IPL deal.
In Kerala we know how many of our politicians are involved in scams and corruption. Parties are ready to go to any extend to protect them. They still occupy their chairs.
We have plenty of examples in Kerala itself. 'Palm oil','Graphite','Lavlin' .What happened to all of them?Sorry we know what is going to happen!!
Support Tharoor. He is one of the rare group of Indian politicians who can do something meaningful to this country.
Express your support through your comments!
