one director who is making landmark contribution to malayalam cinema even without making any landmark film is vinayan.for one who can survive in films without the patronage of superstars,vinayan to me is a counter hero of sorts.but for him, who would have known the film noir type of methods resorted to by the heroes not in films but in life.even when we lack politically correct films vinayan by his multi-textual semiotic system has ferretted out the true politics of malayalam cinema.’the death of the director’ and the emergence of the hero as the new god of cinema in malayalam films -that is just about the ideology of this counter hero.he has brought to light key issues like wages,trade unionism to name a few.i feel what vinayan represents is the subterranean turbulence underlying malayalam films minus a cohesive theoretical foundation. g.balachandran

I am sure this movie will be a hit. It is a really long time since a good movie for children came out. This movie with all its special effects and children should provide joy to the family viewers. Eagerly awaiting the release of the movie.

By the way any news about the release of Vinodayatra?

Dear friends,
I dont want to oppose anyone but would like to tell a few facts.Director Vinayan has given few hits ever since his path breaking Vasantiyum Lakshmiyum Pinne Janum.These include
DaivattinteMakan,Karumadikkuttan,Vellinakshatram,Ummappeninu—,Satyam etc.Most of thse have been Boxoffice hits.
But all these movies i believe were just hits and didnt have any quality at all.
Vinayan either makes film on handi caps or some horror flicks.Only these have become hits.And even these movies didnt have a good story or script.I really dont know how a director can make a film like ‘Satyam’.(A very poor copy of Kaka Kaka.).Also films like WAr and love,Meerayude Dukham etc.
So when Vinayan makes a new movie i have no hope at all.It must fall in one of the following category
1)Handicapped tearjerker.
2)Horror or supernatural.
3)not category 1 and 2 then surely its a flop.
