Even as 2020 brought the entire world to a standstill, and as it halted the shooting and release of new movies, a young writer and director decided to challenge the pandemic, and planned to shoot a low budget experimental computer screen movie using just an iPhone, titled C U Soon. This young director was Mahesh Narayanan. The movie starred Fahadh Faasil, Roshan Andrews and Darshana Rajendran.

The movie, written, directed and edited by Mahesh Narayanan, and produced by Fahadh Faasil and Nazriya Nazim was India’s first computer screen film, and was a commercial as well as critical success.

And this was one of the movies that brought Mahesh Narayanan to the forefront, even though he has made exceptional movies like Take Off (2017) before this. But these would not end up being the magnum opus of the filmmaker.

His magnum opus would come out almost a year later, titled Malik, also starring Fahadh Faasil, Nimisha Sajayan, Joju George, Vinay Fort, Indrans and more. Even though majority parts of the post-production were completed before the Pandemic hit, it couldn’t be completed in its entirety and had to be shelved for a theatre release post the pandemic. In December 2020, it was decided that the film would have a release date of May 2021 during Eid. But the pandemic played spoil sport again, as the 2^nd wave hit the country. Finally, the makers decided the best option would be to release it online, and it went on to become one of the most awaited films in 2021.

Malik tells us the story of 2 communities living in a coastal area in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala. The film talks about issues like communal riots and the politics behind it, and sand mining by the government to create roads, even though the decision is met with the protests of the local citizens.

The film is a treat to watch, with brilliant acting, story, cinematography and music. Even though one can see similarities between Francis Coppola’s The Godfather (1972) and Mani Ratnam’s Nayakan (1987), the film stands out in its own right. The writer was able to characterize all the characters really well, which meant that all human aspects of all characters, and not just the protagonist was very well defined. Unlike most films, which work on the protagonist, Malik gave an overall importance to all the characters.

The actors did an amazing job of bringing this well written characters to life. While watching this film, the audience is transported to the world of Ramadappally and Suleiman Ali Malik. Especially in a scene where Nimisha Sajayan and Fahadh Faasil are mourning the loss of their son, the actors are able to bring tears in the eyes of the audience, and the audience are able to relate to the emotions going through the minds of the actors.

The music by Sushin Shyam was subtle and brought gravitas to the scenes where it was necessary. The music director has also managed to create music that would last for days in one’s head even after watching the film. The same goes for the cinematography by Sanu John Varghese and the stunt direction by Lee Whittaker, who had earlier worked on movies like Bahubali. The 13 minute single take deserves a special mention of its own.

The use of CGI in the film was minimal, but even then, it was evident that CGI was used in some scenes. But this, minor detail does absolutely nothing to the visual treat that is Malik.

Malik could be considered an epic in terms of Malayalam or rather Indian cinema. It shows how characters should be created in an ensemble movie. The movie has the potential to be studied by film students all over India, and quite possibly it will gain that status soon enough. Overall, after watching the movie, the audience can see why the filmmakers were so keen on releasing it in theatres, and kept OTT as the last straw. This movie is made for theatres, and the theatre experience would have made the film even better than it already is!

Female Foeticide is a curse which is still practiced in the undeveloped parts of India. As it’s a major problem its frequency is increasing rapidly with the passage of time. We live in a country where maximum people are hypocrites. We are the one who puts up slogans like “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” on the other end of the spectrum if a baby girl is born she is cursed and treated as a burden. Women are always criticized and considered inferior than man but the most brutal killing of females takes place frequently even before they are born. Female Foeticide is the process when the female fetus is aborted took place inside the womb of the mother with the intension of greed of getting the baby boy. Killing a girl inside the mother’s womb is a matter of shame and is a great offense. It is illegal in India but is still practiced in the rural areas.

Every woman marries with the dream of getting a sophisticated family and Childers. In reverse what they get is a family which constantly pressures the female to give birth to a male child. In India, pregnancy is always followed end number of question whether the unborn is baby girl or boy. India is filled with people who have the obsession for the male child where the baby boy is always the reason of joy, celebration and happiness contradictory to it when a girl is born she is considered as a matter of economic drain and will always be a matter of debts for the family. We usually think that such offence are practiced by the people of lower section of society but this statement is not always true as it was found that in several cases the people belonging to the luxurious classes shift from India to other country just to know the sex as its illegal in our country India. People have a orthodox thinking that if a boy is born he is considered as an investment for the family as he is the one who will support the household throughout but when a girl is born since her initial breathing she is considered as an economic liability as one day they will get married with massive dowry. We live in a patriarchal society where bring up a boy is not a big task but if we keep an eye in the condition of the society keeping a girl safe is a matter of big deal. Some outdated thinker says that that a boy can be the reason of betterment of the family. We can see massive number of women who are against the birth of girl child. But one thing which they don’t realized is they too were born as girls.

Female Foeticide is problems of underlying disorder in which people have the perception that bearing a daughter in a family doesn’t create any economic sense also do not provide any social advantages. We live in a biased society that always favor’s male child more than the female one and this is quite noticeable from the declining sex ratio which is rapidly increasing. Summing up with, every being is a creation of Almighty and is a gift for us. One should learn to respect each gender it doesn’t matter whether it’s a girl or a boy. We all are human being and supporting such illegal offense is against humanity.

Unemployment is measured by counting individuals who are employable and actively seeking a job but are unable to find a job. This is how in general unemployment is defined but at ground reality unemployment should include anyone who is above 18 and not earning his/her livelihood on his own.At present, unemployment is a focal problem of most of the developing and underdeveloped countries of the world. In a nation like India, where 70% of the population is of youth, what are the causes of unemployment? There are many reasons. Some of them are:- Increasing population, seasonal occupation, joint family system, and slow growth of industrialization. What leads to highly unemployed youngsters is the sick mentality of the society about the type and level and status of position in the working field. People seek government jobs as it continues to pay even after retirement and after the death to the survivors. In India people have a biased mentality about the post of a working candidate.  A person who is working as a waiter, as a sweeper, as a clerk, as a guard, or as a servant are considered to be backward, beneath, and inferior. In a job, status and reputation should not matter.  What is important is the struggle and the efforts which a person is making to earn. Social norms, social pressure and status of your post is so dominant over the youngsters of the nation that after graduation they waste half a decade in preparation for examinations of various jobs and hence remain unemployed. This leads to an increase in unemployment. Another aspect of unemployment which one can analyse is rural vs urban. In remote village areas of the country very few people have their own land for agriculture and hence remain unemployed, moreover those who have land, all the members of family work on the same land, hence they are working but not being paid for it, same is applied to the family businesses, this is called as disguised unemployment. In urban areas, people don’t get opportunities to learn skills, and hence remain unemployed. We can look at unemployment from the perspective of public vs private sector. In the public sector, getting a job is tough because of improper functioning of administration, non-consistency in conduction of examinations and interviews, not announcing results for years, delay in training and recruitment, leading to unemployment among skilled, deserving, and eligible young workers of the nation. In the private sector  there is no permanent guarantee of the job. Today if an individual is hired, tomorrow he/she can be fired. This is called insecurity in jobs and hence people look towards government jobs. Within the last two years, 2020 and 2021, when the world was suffering from the Covid -19, India has faced a huge increase in unemployment. The unemployment rate in India, amidst lockdown and restrictions on mobility, is 12.81% as of June 8th 2021 based on the data provided by the CMIE. (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy) In 2020, during pandemic about 1 crore people who were having job earlier lost the job and became unemployed. Many businesses and shops vanished and hence nowadays it is more critical to find a job for a recent graduate with no experience. Number of people looking for a job is increasing day by day, and simultaneously  opportunities are decreasing day by day, leading to a high increase in unemployment in the nation. Being unemployed or unemployment word is so negative and demotivating within itself, which can make an individual feel worthless Many times people so desperately want to earn a living but cannot do so, they try but remain empty handed, which affects their mental health and mental stability, leading to depression and sometimes they decide to kill themselves. According to a report in the Times of India newspaper, 1.3 lakh suicides have been reported in 2019 in India. This is a huge cause of concern for the country and it’s administration.What is the impact or consequences of unemployment on our nation? The most major one is the decrease in GDP rate, decrease in economic health of the nation, increase in poverty, excessive use of resources and no output to the nation at the same level i.e more consumption and less services given by the people to the nation. It’s very surprising to know that a 1 % increase in unemployment reduces the GDP by 2 % which is a cause of worry for the development of nation. Unemployment is the most serious problem an individual, a community, society and a nation faces, which should be resolved soon. This can be done by providing large opportunities, rising above social norms and sick mentality, improvement in working of administration, concern of the government, and the most important of all will power and determination of an individual who is able to work.

I am always interested to learn different arts and culture of various countries ,among them I am always interested in japanese arts .Not only their arts but also their traditions ,their cultures has valuable meanings in it . So I came across this concept of ‘Kintsugi’ when I watched the video of Priya Malik from a poetry show ,immediately I googled this word to learn more about Kintsugi and I amazed after finding the hidden meaning behind it .

The Art of Kintsugi means ‘Golden repair’ ,it is the japanese art form and it comes under pottery repair method. Emphasizing not hiding the break but be proud to show the broken pieces in a unique and beautiful piece .This art form was evolved in 15th century by Ashikaga Yoshimasa .When his favorite tea cup was broken ,he felt too bad and he wants to repair that at any cost ,so he sent that broken piece to china to joint that broken piece but they failed in repairing that and again they sent it to japan .Ashikaga was too stubborn and he doesn’t give up on his precious thing which is broken ,so he ordered the japanese people to repair it ,at last after doing a lot of research they came across with a proper solution which repaired the cup into beautiful piece.

Eventually ‘The Art of Kintsugi ‘ has transformed to ‘The Art of Healing’ in this modern era .Just comparing our lives as broken piece ,we often broken our relationships at certain times due to some circumstances ,at that time we feel to heal ourselves .So this whole process of transforming the broken piece to beautiful piece gives the proper solutions to our broken heart .Giving a meaning that #brokenbutbeautiful .

Dont feel depressed ,anxious or sad when some tragedy happens to our lives .Time heals everything ,it has its own power .Just like a broken piece taken its own time to change into beautiful one.
