Film artistes are lucky...

Film makers are lucky in that, they have a visual medium to vent their furstrations and anger and what is more even get money in return :( !!

Yesterday saw Bharat Chandran I.P.S. Its a complete masala film and one without songs (thankfully!). The protagonist takes on the entire political establishment in Kerala and makes sure that every politician he meets recieves a mouthful (need I say why I like the film so much....:) ).

The anger he feels against society in general and the very much existing politician-criminal nexus, can be related to by a lot of persons in Kerala.

Lot of film makers have taken this subject up and do bring out beautiful movies. What is really refereshing here, is that each person brings out the subject in his own distinct (and refreshing) manner. A few directors even make a mockery of the entire system by carefully crafting scenarios and scenes which are a direct take on the establishment. Its very creative and quite a pleasant watch.

In all this one should not forget the mimicry artists. These guys, impersonate the political characters so well that the common person relates more to them than the actual persons and trust me half the time its difficult to tell them apart. This should give you an indication of how competent the politicians are.

I have seen the proceedings of the Kerala Legislative assembly a few times and needless to say it is indeed very comic and indeed, very "creative". The way the politicians express their views and opinions are more appropriate to a drama stage rather than an Assembly.

That we have to live under the rules and laws bought into effect by these morons is really unfortunate !!
