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……………….
