Actor and BJP activist Krishna Kumar criticized the government over the brutal killing of a five-year-old girl in Aluva. Krishna Kumar says that the people are seeing all this and are holding them to account. “The face of that little girl in Aluva raises a great deal of trepidation and again a handful of questions before us. And, overwhelming helplessness and rage. Now we don’t see enlightened Malayalees tapping a match to light a candle when news of a molestation in Manipur, Kashmir or some unnamed inland north Indian village reaches here. A couple of weeks ago, we do not see that the head of a prominent film actor here, who was weighed down by the weight of disgrace, has risen to its former position after that or now.”- says Krishna Kumar.

In the words of Krishna Kumar:

Dear brothers and sisters, from yesterday afternoon till today, every Malayali who has good inside is in a state of frozen mind and conscience. The face of that little girl in Aluva brings great shock and yet again a handful of questions before us. And, overwhelming helplessness and rage. We no longer see any cultured dog that looks north and barks and howls every time it is graded.

Now we don’t see enlightened Malayalees tapping a match to light a candle when news of a molestation in Manipur, Kashmir or some unnamed inland north Indian village reaches here. We don’t see the head of a prominent film actor here, who was crushed by the weight of humiliation a couple of weeks ago, now or since then, has returned to its original position.

Alcohol, drugs, anarchy, nepotism and minority favoritism are being ruled by this government which has made Kerala number one, it is not possible for me or you or even our grandchildren who can’t even fly to live here without fear of danger. Especially if you are born a Hindu.

From 2016 to May this year, 31,364 cases of violence against children have been registered. 9604 of them are sexual assaults. 214 children have been killed in our Kerala during this period. How many, how much more, are the unaccounted for?

It would be better if the government, which only focuses on the vote bank, and honors all the foreign workers who come and visit here by calling them guests and pride, and the sly comrades. People are watching all this. They have a hand to account for. Nothing more to write. As a member and symbol of a failing majority in a rotten society, this much is said; Forgive me daughter. Today, your sisters will have the opportunity to go out and fly without fear of life, at least for many years to come. All my efforts will be for that only. May God help us to heal this wound in our minds.

N.E. said that the jury ignored Vinayan’s ‘Nineteenth Century’ in deciding the state film award. Director Vinayan replied to Sudhir’s note. Vinayan said that he is thankful for Sudhir’s good words about the film and the truth is that he did not even expect so many awards. N.E. said that the 19th century felt neglected when he read the news about the state film awards. Posted by Sudhir NE said that the film was not considered for any important section, how could the art direction which was full of excellence be ignored, and the fate of Velayudhapanikar, who was left out of history, also happened to the film that told his story. Sudhir said in the note. Ajayan Chalissery was a 19th century production designer.

Meanwhile,

The film won the Best Dubbing Artist – Male (Shoby Thilakan), Best Music Director (M. Jayachandran) and Best Female Singer (Mridula Warrier) awards.

N.E. Full text of Sudhir’s note

“This was the main doubt that came to my mind when I read the details of the state film award in the morning newspaper. Directed by Vinayan, the film ‘Pathanathaam Sandhalam’ did not seem to be considered in any important category. It seemed to be neglected in most sections. The ‘nineteenth century’ was one that was awe-inspiring in terms of technological excellence.

How could the art direction, which was full of excellence in that film, be ignored even if you pretend not to see anything else? Why was it not rated as a socially relevant film? There are so many questions. Totally a bit of a mess. Director Vinayan will not be new in this. He is an artist who is destined to get used to all that. Even then, it will cause pain in moviegoers. The bottom line is that even a film that beautifully told the story of a man called Velayudhapanikkare who did not get the place he deserved in the history of Kerala, his misfortune befell him.

Thanking NE Sudheer, director Vinayan wrote: ”NE said about my film. Thanks Sudhir for your kind words. But once the award is made before a jury, the complaint is irrelevant. The truth is that I did not even expect this much. Didn’t you give three awards? I am indebted to Academy Chairman Ranjith.

Criticism can arise from many quarters when the favorite actors do not get the award during the announcement of film awards. Many will express their displeasure through social media. Now there is criticism on social media that Devananda, who played the role of Kallu in Malikappuram movie, pretended not to see the performance of the jury. Now actor Sarath Das has come with a response on this issue.

Sharing the picture with Devananda, Sarath wrote on social media: “Congratulations to all the winners… Anyway, you have already been awarded with the hearts and minds of crores of Malayalis and me…”.

Tanmaya Sol and Master Da Vinci won the award for child actors of the year. Da Vinci won the award for his performance in Pallotti Nineties Kids. Tanmaya deserved the award for her performance in Sanalkumar Sasidharan’s film Vava.
