Regarding awards,according to what some jury members tell there is so much politics involved in all the decisions based on region,language etc.There are instances when Thilakan lost the best actor award to Ashok Kumar purely based on that and MGR getting national award for best actor etc.So i think the frustrations of good directors are understood. @James ,no arguments but i think Adoor’s Swayamvaram(1972),Kodiyettam(1977),Elippathayam(1981) K G George’s Yavanika(1982),Swapnadanam(1975),Ulkatal (1975) are still the most discussed films when we talk about path breaking or good malayalam films,So i think there are some good films by these directors that has stood against the test of time.

It's surprising that the mainstream TV channels too doesn't show any interest in bringing his pictures to the mass. Maybe I should do a search on Youtube now! ;) The sad thing about the whole issue is the common man almost never get to see an Adoor movie so one doesn’t know how much he has progressed since Vidheyan or Mathilukal.

We all know that it is not about deserving, but other politics, in this sort of cinema awarding. It is not like getting exam marks and scoring first. So peace.
