I am always wondering why Malayalam cinema is not matured till now. The time is reached to say bye to stardom from Malayalam film industry. It is like “thondayile mullu”. The time is reached to say to the veteran actors like Mamooty, Mohanlal and suresh gopi - ENOUGH. Now we need better cinema, not the old moral value system that these actors are still representing. We need new stories on human relationships and man-woman relationships. We need political expressions in cinema not “SHIT DIALOGUES”. We need better visual story telling methods not MTV cuts and Shaji Kailas cuts. We need new experiments with MUSIC and SOUND. We need new stories exploring our cultural tradition and history. We need to explore the folklores and political movements of our history. We need to question our male shovanistic society. Middle class and upper middle class have high jacked our films years ago. PLEASE take back our cinema from their hand.
I am not just saying we need young directors and actors. But we need new narration methods. If the new comers just imitate their older generation, what is the use..?

Agreed. Thats real frustrating about films, but how much of freedom do the directors and others are given by the financial sponsorers, to experiment. I think this is one of the biggest road block for creative thoughts. We have Mamooty, Mohanlal who guarantee a minimum income for the producers. What are your thoughts on this??
You are such a serious and prolific blooger!
sorry blogger!
capital investment is very important i agree. but a recognized director can ask more freedom from the producer. for the new directors, they can find new ways of film making like using HD technology. everywhere in this world Profit motives dictates cinema. but under estimating the viewers is a repeated crime in the film industry.
