Dubai FM Punjab and

When you switch on FM 9.88.8 radio in Dubai you can enjoy old and new Hindi songs.but unfortunately the songs are not melodies nowadays. Specially songs from the new Hindi movies.which is having strong influence of Punjabi music and lyrics.as an Indian i like Punjab and its culture but whatever we consume should not be overdose.that makes lot of health problems.but this overdose of punjabification is happening in Hindi movies now,I am sorry to say that it is nauseating for people from other states of India.Even though malayalees who stays and work inside Kerala are not good in Hindi, they enjoy Hindi songs and movies but suddenly they sense a new language has been blended to their sweet Hindi and making it a strange language.so they change this FM station and start to listen to  their own Malayalam music there you can hear two ladies and one male boasting about their ability to drive in Dubai roads and criticising those who drive very fast. then comes narration about their in ability to speak in good Malayalam and cooking.
and the other day you are taking the movie 22 female kottayam to watch . the movie is from a new comer and he is one of  the promising director of Malayalam film industry.the surprise in the climax scene of this movie is  "penectomy "!  which has been tried in lot of Hollywood movies.but its a watchable movie though the old wine is in new bottle.

Formula of films.

Just like songs which fall into a particular raga ,films also falls in to some particular categories this is applicable to .Malayalam or any other language films. Some may disagree with me. but it is a truth. For e.g. the Malayalam film thanmathra falls in to a particular category.
It goes like this…
In the beginning films shows the life of a happy family man and his surroundings.and a song to fill up the gap and depicts their happiness. Then comes this disease (instead of villain) alszhimers.and here also a sad song comes to show their agony .at last hero dies making the audience weeping. (Especially ladies)
A lot of films with such a story formula come in to my memory. I will tell you some names.nokkethadoorathu kannumnattu,(here the heroin is the patient and to earn her character more sympathy she hides her disease and appear in grandma’s home were she sing, dance and make some funny moments.
Thalavattom is another film (let us forget about its origin ‘one flew over cuckoos nest) in which the main structure remains the same. In another film instead of disease comes a villain who douses the happiness and comedy scenes.
So it is common that most of the films have two parts a happy first half and a complementary second part.
I am not saying that those who adopt such formula are not talented directors.
They are talented but this style comes in to story line without their comprehension.
So if you want to write a script for films, create a happy family or friends group then bring some elements which stop the comedy scene and brings tension to the scene.

If you can think more give a twist in the end to a common story like the case of aniyathi pravu.

Thus formula 1=premabhishekam,thanmathra,thalavattom,nokethadoorathu kannumnattu,sargam,,desadanam,
Formula 2 = subramanyapuram(T),siva(H),satya(H),Aryan,abhimanyu,devasuram,irpathamnoottandu,in harihar nagar,

Formula 3=sholay(H),karma(H),ghandhari,chitram
Formula 4=Jurassic park,alilen,war of the worlds, independence day,E.T(English)
Formula 5=thakara,pavamkruran,rathinirvedam,chamaram,punnaram cholli cholli.
Formula 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,comes later……………….

Britney spears

Britney is famous for her talent as well as the controversy she creates.
Angelina jolie is also no exception to this.both of them has family problems and these are well known to public, especially to their fans.
The same thing is happening here in kerala. Or a controversy is coming with stardom. It started from actress shoba decades ago.
A lot of stories came out with most of Malayali actresses. The list is too long so it is useless to write.
Recently meera jasmine came out with some problems against her family related to financial dealing.jomol.also have a similar story.
The latest is story of actress mukta. In mukta’s case her father organized a press meeting and started mud slinging.
Why these girls have problems around them? May be this is the price they are paying for their stardom. Visual media is also responsible for attracting girls to films and serials by giving more importance to films in the television.
All the girls cannot be a Madhuri dixit, Sabna azmi,Manju warrior,Sreedevi or smitha patil
If you have talent go to films. But if you have only a body to show (which is the case of a lot of Malayalam actresses move to Tamil and other languages) and capture stardom, please pursue another profession.

politics in campus

Recently I saw script writer Babu janardhanan criticizing a Malayalam film director in Kairali tv.. The reason the director opposed politics in kerala’s college campus.Mr Babu Janardhanan may be a successful Malayalam script writer, but is he right in his stand? My opinion is that politics in every sector of kerala society is the reason behind kerala Being notorious for not a business friendly state.

Major Ravi and kurukshetra

Major Ravi has done a good job by making kurukshetra.it may not be a great film.
But all Indians must watch this film in order to understand some facts about army life,and to ignite the feeling of patriotisam.
Scenes of our soldier’s patriotism, commitment, sincerity and bravery are nicely picturised.
Corruption in army also mentioned with some dialogues by Mahadevan (Mohanlal).it is a suitable role for mohanlal and he displayed justice to his character. it also depicts the
Pathetic situation of Pakistan army. This film also speaks for our Muslim brothers.
It is a bare truth that some expatriate Indians from a particular community in gulf countries are supporting Pakistan.
It is a good film for those Muslim youths who select the way of terrorism instead of adopting democratic ways to get their rights. They are forgetting that India is not only a country of modis and thakerays but there are millions of Mhadevans here.

SISTER ABHAYA AND CBI

Who killed sister abhaya ?
It is a question in the mind of malayalees for around 13 years.
There are plenty of questions around this case.
Now that the credibility of CBI is lost at least in the
Keralite society.
A new group of CBI(kerala wing) is coming to investigate
This case.let us hope that this team of investigators will show
Some justice to the Malayalam film oru CBI diary kurippu !
Other wise director K.Madhu and script director S.N.Swamy
Has to find some other background to make a film.

Hartaal Day

I was a witness to hartal in Kodungallore.it is very heartenig to see the miscreants breaking the glass of a petrol pump in chanthappura. They are few in numbers, around twenty or thirty people. just 200 feet awat at least 50 members of police force is standing like statues with rifles and protection shield.
if police force really wished they could have easily averted the attacks of protesters.

Clint eastwood and Malayalam films

It is interesting to note the controversy between actor Dilip and Director Tulasidas.
It is heard that dileep told tulsidas that he make one hit film and come for his date.
This is a logical request from Dileep because last Dilip Film mulla was not a super hit. So he wants to make a hit film. but we cannot criticize Tulsidas, directing is his profession and he has to churn out films in order to earn and survive in this industry.
I have seen some average (but commercially successful film from Thulsidas) but recently he has not made any block busters. May be his talent dry up. we do not know.
Does this talent dry up ? In some people it is correct like the case of some of the directors and writers. I think Lohitadas,fazil,joshi and I.V.Sasi is also face this problem.i am not saying they lost all their talent forever. it will come if they try.
Look at Hollywood actor director Clint eastwood he is above 70 and he still make superhit films.it is his hard work which make him an evergreen actor Director.
And if my information is correct Maro puzzo the author
Of Godfather started his writing career at the age of 52.
Before concluding I would like to ask one question which is the good film like the caliber of ulladakam,sandesam,or vadakkan veera ghadha by Tulasidas.
