SFI and KSU activists clash after Oru Mexican Aparatha screening
Tovino Thomas starrer Oru Mexican Aparatha was released yesterday to overwhelming response from the audience. The movie written and directed by debutant Tom Emmatty is a campus political drama.
Tovino Thomas, the protagonist plays a left wing activist in the movie. He represents the party SFY and the opposition KSQ is headed by the antagonist, Roopesh Peethambaran. To avoid controversies, the makers have taken the cinematic liberties to alter the names of the political parties to SFY and KSQ.
Prior to the release itself, Oru Mexican Aparatha was publicised as a left supporting movie. It was evident from the huge rush in the theatres. SFI activists had flocked the theatres and the movie has enough reasons for them to celebrate.
However, things went ugly in Ernakulam when SFI and KSU activists clashed at the theatre complex after the movie. A video clip of the incident is going viral in social medias.
We request all the audience to watch a movie purely as a piece of art. The prime objective for any movie is to entertain the audience. So a brawl in the name of a movie will not be something that the makers would want to see.
