0

Mollywood seems to be in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. We had saw many examples recently including fake newses by online medias and also some controversial steps taken by our film personalities. The latest one in this list includes Aroma Mani and Fahadh Faasil.

Famous and Veteran film producer Aroma Mani, who is the owner of  Sunitha Productions has  come out with some serious allegations against actor Fahadh Faasil, and as you guess, it was indeed a financial issue. Aroma Mani says  that Fahadh  Faasil agreed to act in his film ‘Iyer in Pakistan’ and took an advance of 4 lakhs from him in 2012. But later when he went to Fahadh with a project he had not given him his dates and it is happened not only once, but three times. And to make the matter more worse, later Fahadh had refused to act in Aroma Mani’s project.

It had become a serious issue now that lots and lots of baseless newses are coming out about actors and film personalities and most of them are shares and spreads by online medias for their popularity and other selfish motives. We have seen this in the case of actor Jishnu recently. The news about actress Ansiba’s bikini photos was also a well- made one by online medias. We have already seen many online issues like this in the case of Rajiv Ravi and Geethu Mohandas some days back when the online wing of a popular and leading Newspaper in Kerala published fake news about Geethu Mohandas’s words about the controversial Interview of Rajiv Ravi.

The scarcity of news has made medias to do anything without considering the ethics and value of Journalism. Online Medias are the main culprits in many recent issues and unfortunately Bhama had become the latest victim of these filthy online Journalism.

0

It appears that Pranav Mohanlal is keen on concentrating his career as an assistant director. The latest news is that Pranav Mohanlal will work as an assistant director in Jeethu Joseph’s next movie ‘Life of Josutty’ which has Janapriya Nayakan Dileep in the lead role.  The crew of the movie as made it public through the movie’s official Facebook page. This should not surprise anyone since Pranav has already assisted Jeethu in the Tamil version of Drishyam.

Pranav is one of the most talked about names in Malayalam film industry since he is the son of Mohanlal. Malayalam fans expected Pranav to build up his career as an actor.  Their expectations reached sky high when Pranav appeared in a couple of movies as a child artist. This naturally stirred up the question as to when Pranav will make his official entry into the movies as a main lead. However; Pranav had other plans and opted to work behind the camera. The news that Pranav has joined Jeethu Joseph for the movie Paapanasham generated a lot of buzz as it was totally unexpected. Jeethu Joseph spoke highly of Pranav and praised him for being a thorough professional and a passionate learner.  It is quite safe to assume from the recent developments that Pranav is looking to make a career as a director.

Now its Boycott PK movement, new online battle is ready for time-pass

0

People now- a -days want more and more controversies and it just become a part of their life just like food, water and shelter. Now its about the latest release of Aamir Khan named ‘PK’, which was directed by Raj Kumar Hirani. It’s a film about God and Godmen and discussing an issue about the blind following of religions and rituals. Now it’s the turn of Hindutva followers as they says that, this film is mocking at the Hindu religion and also making fun of its rituals. They told people to boycott the film and through online medias like twitter they created a battle named  #BoycottPK .  And the people who supports the issue discussed in the film created another movement with the name #support PK in twitter. Do you think this these issues had any significance at all..?

Just think Why all this intolerance to from some people?  Some months before another Bollywood film named Haider directed by Vishal Bharadwaj faced the same issue as some of the people protested against it saying that the film is against Hinduism and against India.  Why this kind of attacks..?.. In India we have the freedom of expression given to us by our constitution and these kind of attacks is just like suppressing that freedom. An artist had the right to express what he thinks through his art. But these kind of people who only see the world through the eyes of religion or any other barriers which divide people, are not in a mood to allow it or in fact disrespect the Right of a Citizen and thereby our constitution itself.

Now its Boycott PK movement, new online battle is ready for time-pass-Aamirakhan-Anushka Shetty-Onlookers Media;

The people who leads this #BoycottPK, claim that the movie attacks Hinduism and the rituals and practices associated with it.  The people who watched the film and understand it knows that the protester’s claim was just rubbish. Raj Kumar Hirani is only tried to tell that the so called mediators between people and God are not always Good and they had their own selfish motives. The film does not just attack Hinduism and its practices. The film does not told anything disrespectful against any religion at all. The film just tried tell about the wrong practices that is happening behind the name of religions and in the name of GOD. It is not the first film to tell this. Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal starrer ‘Oh, My God’ which was directed by Umesh Shukla was raised this issue more openly before.

Some of the supporters of  #BoycottPK on Twitter  claims that the film promotes ‘Love Jihad’.  It was also hard to digest. They said that its because the character played by Anushka falls in love with a Pakistani boy, character played by Sushant. What a ridiculous claim by them..!.. Really a funny claim, to say the least about it. We are not saying PK is a great film. It depends on the mindset and expectation of the people who watches the film, but it is a good entertainer. It talks about a very relevant social issue about the so called God-men who really cheating common people in the name of God. This film is about the foolishness of practicing some ridiculous practices in all religions.

It’s not against Hinduism in particular. It’s really wrong to say that PK is against religion or Hinduism particularly. You can watch and decide Your-self in this matter of boycott or support PK.

KS Ravikumar takes the blame for Lingaa blunders

0

Though Lingaa was released with a huge burden of expectations, the movie received average ratings from the critics and the audience. While half of the audience was impressed with the movie, the other half was slightly critical about the movie and found faults with the movie. Various segments, especially,the climax of the movie were attacked for the obvious lack of logic and for pushing our power of reasoning to its limit.

However, the director of the movie Ravikumar owned up to the mistake and accepted the responsibility for the bloopers in the movie. He said that the actual story ends with the robber deciding not to steal from the temple but the crew wanted to provide the Rajni fans with something special, which would leave them happy. He also revealed that the climax was motivated by the Jackie Chan movie The Armour of the God.

Ravikumar also said that a good portion of the audience, especially children, liked the climax. Another huge mistake of the movie was the inclusion of the book The Hero with Thousand Faces which is written by the renowned writer Joseph Campbell. In the movie, it seems that the book is read in the year 1939.This is a serious flaw since the book was released in 1949. Ravikumar commented that that he came to know about this only later and that it was too late to rectify the mistake. He explained that he asked his crew to search for a book, which starts with the name Hero.  Finally, they came up with the book as they felt that the book is perfect for the context. However, they did not realize that the book is not from the same period and they became aware of that only after everything was finished. Therefore, they could not do anything about that.

Ravikumar remarked that there is a natural tendency in everyone including himself to point out the flaws of the movie rather than its positive points. He said that he also takes notes of the mistakes in the movies just like others, but opts not to open it to the public. He also said that if he finds faults he holds a private conservation with those responsible for the mistakes. He also gave his word that he will make sure that his future films are free of such mistakes.

Cousins Collection Report

‘Cousins’, directed by Hit-maker Vysakh, which got released on December 19th keeping the Kerala box office live with its great opening. The film reportedly grossed Rupees 2.25 cr in its 3 days run and it is a very good opening for a film which do not have any superstar in the lead. The film had the young brigade of Kunchacko Boban and Indrajith Sukumaran playing the male leads and also has Suraj Venjarammood and Joju Mala as central figures.The film also includes young and dashing heroines like vedika, nisha agarwal and Miya in its star cast.

Director Vysakh and screen writer Sethu embellished the film with all the festival elements like dance, fight, comedy and suspense. They also made the film look like a real celebration with its rich and colourful atmosphere. Even though the film had opened with mixed opinion, it seems to have picked up itself from that situation and now on the way to a Good success.

Vysakh had given his best to make it really look like a rich fun filled family entertainer and families seems to respond to it in a good way. The film is running with packed houses and showing signs of becoming the Christmas winner of 2014. In most of the stations it got released, families formed the main crowd from the second day onwards and as the makers intended the film’s colour, richness and fun attracting the common audience, specially women and children in this Christmas vacation. Lack of competition also helping the film a lot. We don’t have any Mohanlal, mammootty and Dileep films on this Christmas season their films are still on the production stages and only have a January 2015 release.

As per reports there is not much films releasing in mollywood on Christmas day except  Sreenivasan Starrer ‘Nagara vaaridhi naduvil njan’, which is a social-family entertainer.  Earlier announced release date of Nivin Pauly Starrer film ‘Mili’ reportedly postponed from December 25th to January 2nd. Eventhough we don’t get any official confirmation, but news is coming just like that. That will also help ‘Cousins’ to move along nicely without much resistance and everyone associated with the film hoping that it will end as a profitable venture in the course of time. ‘Cousins’ is a festival film which everyone can enjoy and celebrate in this vacation season.
