Outcast actors and under privileged in Malayalam film industry

I have only heard about days when lower caste people will have to bow before upper caste land lords and  work hard for the pittance the land lord may give.Land lord will enjoy life like anything and all the toil and hardship are destined to be  the right of lower caste people.

Today there is actually no lower castes.Every one get equal opportunity to come up in life and the so called lower caste people get preferential treatment in admission to educational institutions and for jobs simply because their forefathers have struggled in their life.In fact upper caste people are the present day down trodden.

But look at Malayalam film industry.Capability has no place there.So called super stars even after crossing age of 60 continue to act as lovers to many teenage girls,crush every able bodied strong men with their difficult to move body movements and decide who should act in films.So whoever want to be in business should be willing to bow before them and  do anything and everything to please them.

They can get position of Lieutenant Colonel in Indian Army possibly through a a phone call.Padmasree  title is given based on  recommendations of political leadership.So there is no wonder they got it.A phone call to a political leader can give them Doctorate from Kerala Universities whatever may be their eligibility for it.In short they have made all these honors and titles meaningless by amassing them as they liked and they laugh at ordinary citizens of this country with  utter contempt.

An actor of the caliber of Thilakan does not need their certificate.But still they want him to bow before them.He was courageous enough to refuse to bow before Film world gods like them.So he is not only out of Malayalam films for ever,but also from a Hollywood film which they could never ever dream of considering their pathetic capabilities.They buy unemployed youth to  sing hosanna to them when their ever repeated one story films start screening,in the name of fans association.

I have decided not to see films acted by these  crooks pretending to be anything and everything.I hope the ever intelligent malayalee will eventually show them the place they really deserve instead of all these purchased doctorates,Padmasree etc-the dustbin of history.
