Modernized extremism

Our generation was grown up seeing the versatile talent of Mohanlal & Mammootty ruling the Malayalam film industry which later became a personal pride of all of us when we came out of the state and then the country. As Mammootty rightly said in 'Best Actor', most of us would have dreamt of being an actor at some point in our life but very few expresses and others hide within themselves. The very reason to call it as a dream was the quality maintained at the big stage and the way to success being unique composition of talent,dedication and hard work. I was totally flabbergasted, when my friend shown me the trailer of "Krishnanum Radhayum" in YouTube. We all laughed when 'Silsila' ruled YouTube a while ago, but that was a genuine attempt of film making by an ordinary man which accidentally fell in to popularity (by its own means).
This time I suspect, is a desperate mission from a group of people who used a dumb man in front to make money through a negative fame. This is a pure crime to the society and a big insult to the upcoming talents who are sweating in front of the camera, waiting for their opportunity. Don't we have any regulatory body to control such extremism in the film industry?  This is a shame to the entire Malayalam industry which produced many legends including M.T., Adoor, Thakazhi, Bharathan, Hariaharan .... I pity the popular television channels who invites any buffoon as guest  to run their shows. Where are we heading to..??  We already carry a black mark when b-grade films ruled this industry which made us reluctant to use the words 'mallu' or 'malayalam movie' in any search engine on Internet. Do we need another era of 'Pandits' ? If not please do not entertain such videos through Internet.

NO MORE PANDITS PLEASE............
