B Unnikrishnan comes with his support to Alphonse Puthren in state award controversy
The state award controversy still continues with more and more people from film industry coming in to it directly and indirectly. Yesterday we reported about Jury Chairman Mohan’s words about Premam and its making and the reply given by Alphonse Puthren, who had written, directed and edited Premam. Mohan had said that Premam is a lazy work and it seems a careless work from the director who does not even follows the structure of cinema grammar.
Alphonse Puthren gave a reply to that as he said that he do not like to play safe and makes film for making people happy. He does not care for the so called structure of cinema till the time people are enjoying what he makes. He does it for the love and passion for cinema and also for hope and freedom. He also told that he don’t want any awards from award committee if this so called structure is their criteria for deciding awards. Now B Unni Krishnan, the writer/director came out and supported Alphonse Puthren.
B Unnikrishnan said in his Facebook post that he saw Premam yesterday also in mini screen and enjoyed it a lot. He said that he did not want to take any sides in this issue and never ever want do it as well. But when he read the comment by Mohan and the reply by Alphonse Puthren to it, he just wanted to give his humble opinion on that. Unnikrishnan said that he was really surprised to see such a comment from Mohan about Premam. Unni Krishnan said that awards is only based on the convictions of a group of people called jury and the value of it is limited to that level. He does not understand how an experienced film maker like Mohan said Premam had no structure, focus and also a carelessly made flick etc.
He said if this is a careless effort and then Alphonse Puthren should do films with more careless attitude and he had to do films more lazily than this one. He also said in a funny manner which resembles the lyric of one of the songs in Premam that we don’t need these kind of awards as the situation here is not at all good.
