Am in Kerala at the moment. The place is full of huge posters of Mohanlal and Mamootty. True, Mohanlal is the finest actor in the country at the moment. and Mamootty, really really talented. But why are we holding on to them? Isn't it time we let go? And the other he- man Suresh Gopi also appears to be making a comeback.
And where are all those talented female power actors? Why isn't the enlightened Kerala with its proud track record of empowering women providing a space for them in cinema?
The answer could be one of these.
Either the film makers have no feel of the mood of the audience
or
they have their fingers on the pulse on the audience, and know that the Keralites are incurable traditionalists who foolishly believe that the new order can be eternally postponed if the old is propped up by clumsy scaffolding.
What do you think?
Well, Let us look this in another way . If you go to Chennai or Hyderabad yu can see Meera Jasmine , Nayanthara , Navya Nair etc adorning the streets . So poor filmmakers has to pop up the old is clumsy scaffolding. But they are not as bad :)as if you have to pop them up once in a while
