I endorse ADGP TP Sen Kumar’s view on film awards. He said “nothing would happen if awards are not given to cinema or even if there is no cinema. Awards should be given to farmers who work on soil”.
It is a fact that a huge sum is siphoned out from state exchequer by way of film awards. Politicians, film stars and channels hoodwink people in the name of these awards. But in fact most the films give wrong messages to the viewers. In new gen movies ganga-related violence are glorified and the themes of these movies are not questioned by any one. Mammootty or Mohanlal acting as serial killers in movies is horrifying. Notorious criminal-business man killing a security guard at Sobha city or youths beating to death a bus driver at Cherthala might be misguided by such films. Cinema style operation of quotation gangs are also the end result of bad films. People, of course, need leisure and entertainment after hard work but the sort given by present day cinema is unjustifiable.
So it is time to stop awards to film sorority. Instead awards must be given to farmers who melt their blood into water to feed the starving. Here in my place there is a man curved sharply to the left side because of making innumerable tea. Is there any award for him?
