All through my life , i have heard from my friends , family and colleagues , nothing but accolades towards the malayalam film industry. True , like all other associations there are rifts going on within them now a days.
Many technicians , new comers , musicians and others have told me from the depths of their heart , how much they wish to work in at least one malayalam movie. This is one industry in India that doesnt determine the size of a movie with the budget , but the other way around.
Most brilliant music compositions in south india have originated from malayalam. Scripts that have had the audience in splits or in total tears. Movies that were taken as examples for real life experiences. Numerous thoughts for daily life. Real fans , who love their idols so much , but were never crazy enough to do stiffs just for the sake of fame.
On the whole this is one industry that has direct access to every malayalis home. But there is one draw back in this industry , unlike any other.
Each member of this industry is the real definition of the word "UNIQUE". If one star passes away , there is no replacement for him or her. You may notice how in all other languages , younger stars fight a race to reach their superstars positions , imitating their styles , there by making them no different from the other. But you can never ever see such a rift in malayalam.
Each actor totally had a self made image , and a unique style. Another advantage of malayalam actors is that , they fit into any kind of characters. It can be very well seen that , in malayalam you can see a villain doing a comedy role in another movie and later a character role in another. Such is the talent quotient of malayalam.
10 months and malayalam industry is paying a heavy toll losing 4 sons. renowned director and story writer lohithadas , actors rajan p dev , murali and now cochin haneefa. For those who have seen these actors at work , you will definitely know the core loss i am talking about. Not one of them had a similar style like the other , nor does anyone else have a style of acting like the other.
Those roles done by each actor was uniquely carved for themselves and no one can ever replicate them. With almost all senior actors bidding farewell , I pray that this industry doesnt loose its charm but breed more talents like it has always done before...
