DiscriminationThe practice of putting dark makeup on fair-skinned actors has existed from Malayalam cinema’s black-and-white days, and refuses to die down even now.Revathy / musiczonemovies, Tovino / Instagram, Sheela / empirevideo Towards the end of December last year, Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas shared stills from a new film, in which he looks unnaturally dark. It might not have seemed unnatural if his face was not so well-known, the makeover done exceptionally well. The look is for a special project called Adrishya Jalakangal, he wrote, directed by Dr Biju, in which he plays a ‘nameless young man’. It triggered a not-so-heated discussion on the propriety of darkening faces of fair-skinned actors to play dark-skinned characters. Not at all a new practice in Malayalam cinema, and by the looks of it, not one that is dying down any time soon. “But Tovino is not playing a dark-skinned character in the film. It is...

ObituaryAshokan made four well-made feature films around the early 1990s, two of them with Thaha, but stopped being active afterward.Tnm StaffCourtesy - News8Plus / TwitterRaman Ashok Kumar, popularly known as Ashokan, a director of Malayalam films, passed away on the night of Sunday, September 25, at a hospital in Kochi. He was 60 years old and suffered from multiple health issues. He had been admitted at the Lakeshore Hospital for nearly a month. Raman had for years been an associate to renowned director J Sasikumar, who has made more than 130 films in Malayalam cinema. The first film Ashokan independently directed was Varnam in 1989. A psychological drama with Suresh Gopi and Jayaram and Ranjini in the lead, it was noted for its unique storytelling. Ashokan had also scripted the film. His second film Acharyan with a number of actors including Thilakan, Suresh Gopi, Vineeth and Sreenivasan, was written by journalist-scriptwriter B Jayachandran.

After Pasanga, Pandiraj is now directing a film titled Vamsam. Arulnidhi who is the grandson of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and son of M K Tamizharasan is doing the lead role in this film. Sunaina is pairing with him. Kishore, Jayaprakash, Raj Kumar and Madhu are also in the cast. Mahesh Muthusamy is handling the camera. A R Rahman’s assistant Taj Noor is composing the music for this film. Director Pandiraj has written a song with the lines Suvadu….Suvadu…Thekan Suvadu. This song was sung by director Sasi Kumar, Samudrakani and Pandiraj. They heard the tune and rehearsed once and completed the song in a single take. This song will feature in the film as well as trailer.

Director Sasi Kumar had acted in Subramaniapuram and Nadodigal. There was news that Sasi Kumar was invited for a dinner by Sridevi at her Mumbai’s residence and that he will be directing Sridevi’s daughter in a Tamil film. When asked Sasi Kumar about this, he said,” I have seen Sridevi in her films only.

I have not seen her in person. She has not invited me for dinner and neither had she requested me to direct her daughter. This news is a blatant lie. I was shocked when I saw this news in the media. I don’t know who is spreading such rumors.”...

Actor Vimal made his debut with Sasi Kumar’s ‘Pasanga’ and has gone ahead of many places now. The actor has been acting in three films at the same time while his other project ‘Kalavani’ is ready for release.

‘Kalavani’ is directed by newcomer Sargunam and is produced by Nazir under the banner of Sherali Films. As known earlier, Nazir is none other than the manager of Manirathnam, Madhavan and Trisha.

His maiden production is all slated for next month’s release and Vimal has been cornered for his overconfident gesture now. It seems that the actor is now demanding to insert the title credit as ‘Vimal Nadikkum’, which means ‘Vimal in’ before the film’s title.

When approached the closer sources, they said that there is nothing in asking out for certain things as he has the ability to perform well.

It’s fine and good until the actor...

The Norway Tamil Film Festival, running from Feb 6th to 9th has proved to be a great hit. Promoted by the local Tamil community in Oslo, which numbers over 10,000, the festival was inaugurated by Kollywood directors Sasi Kumar, Mysskin, Sp Jananathan, and Samudrakani.

Amongst the films shown at the festival were Poo, Anjathey, Pokkisham Subramaniapuram, Pasanga, Nadodigal Mayandi Kudumbathar, Peraanmai, E, Yogi and Nandhalala. The most sentimental of these films is Poo in which the wonderfully evocative Parvathi Menon is eternally in love with her cousin Srikanth. She loves him so much that she is even happy for him when he marries a rich woman and becomes an engineer whilst she remains a poor village girl. Only later, when she realises he is heartbroken an unhappy does she break down and express her love for him.

Perhaps the most well-known of the films at the festival, however, was festival favourite Subramaniapuram starring Jai and Swathi.

Chennai, Multilingual film actor Kamal Haasan Thursday slammed the critics who say that Oscar winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" showed India in a bad light. "I am tired of hearing allegations about 'Slumdog Millionaire' showing India in a bad light instead of rejoicing over the achievement of A.R. Rahman and Resul Pookutty," Haasan said at the audio launch Wednesday of "Pasanga" a children's film being by Sasi Kumar. "Director Danny Boyle shot on location and did not create a set to depict Mumbai's underbelly. Further, foreigners see the slums of India's financial capital first and then its skyscrapers." "If good films are made and showcased, bad films will fade away naturally," Haasan added. According to the matinee idol, the showbiz's ...
