People outside India , think that Bollywood ( Hindi films ) is THE film industry of India.
It is NOT!
Bollywood is a minuscule part of the Indian film industry.
There are many other language sectors where the films are far better with sensitive story plots ( Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada etc ).
-- heroes and heroines are better paid, the film budget is bigger .
There are NO star sons and star daughters in these industries -- like in Bollywood, where REAL acting is dead due to severe infestation with useless "star sons" and "star daughters".
In fact till Salman Khan brought fitness into Bollywood, yester year Bollywood heroes all had wider bottoms than chests.
None of them dared to wear swimming briefs, in any movie-- and some have retired after several decades of acting without even removing their shirts.
Just think back-- start off with the Kapoor khandaan. They are so proud of great grandson Ranbir, who bared his body in his first movie Saawariya.
I am putting a few Malayalam songs-- it is strange that tragedy Malayalam movies ( with sad endings ) are always hits.
In Malayalam films we go NATURAL-- real life -- no glitz -- that is the way our people like it--
Our Malayalam films don't sell escapist fantasy and glamour, they sell gruesome reality.
ENJOY!
CHEMEEN ( 47 year old movie, national award winner -- about a fishing village --tragic illicit love affair of a Hindu married woman with a Muslim man )
NEE MADHUPAKARU-- ( real melody-- those days there was no colour technology )
MUDRA-- a sensitive film set in a juvenile delinquency centre
Sagaramme Santhamaye ne
In the clip below , you find the guy wearing a mundu ( white dhoti ). This is what I wear at home when I go for important functions , when on leave.. elegant dress, very comfortable. If a guy in 3 piece Saville row suit and natty Pucci shoes goes past me, I would NOT even notice--
Malayalam songs are sheer poetry. We dont have "babe babe babe" or " yamma yamma " or " chinnga chikka " type songs.
Here is a hilarious Srinivasan classic--
Oh Zainabah
Aayirum kannumai
Kallai Kadavathu
Aalorungi --Mammatti kutty amma
Jayan the action mega hero , below was probably the only superhero on this planet-- who did his own stunts , without doubles or safety belts. he fell off a helicopter while attempting to get on to a speeding car.
