Besides the quality of the movies decreasing every year, would like to also not the quanitity of movies being released also is decreasing. Just take a look at the last three years. This year for the first time no major movie was released during Onam. I think with the rise of Mohanlal and Mammotty , than any prior star before them , people have grown accustom to them as its had been more than two decades now and a unique situation we did not have bfore them. I have personally grown up watching the 2 M’s all these years so we have a naturally tendency to like and favor them. For a newcomer it will be almost impossible to get that much approval without good movies and roles and it will take a while to win over people. Of course the chance though is not available to do that for the younger generation.

Incidentally, the selection list for this year’s Indian Panorama was announced today, and Malayalam tops the list with six entries (in a total of 25). Besides, Pulijanmam gets an automatic entry as it won national award for best film, and the list includes Priyadarshan’s Tamil movie Kancheevaram.

The comparison was not about the cast or budget, but about the quality of the script and the ease in which the plot was depicted on screen. My criticism was about the underestimation of the viewer’s understanding and appreciating ability by our film makers.
