Krishnanum Radhayum

Master Feces

At least three of my friends wanted me to join them in watching Santhosh Pandith's magnum opus "Krishnanum Radhayum" in Kanoos Cinema in Kochi. I was bombarded with messages about the traffic block the movie had caused in the southern parts of Kochi.

Many people were laughing even at the mention of the name. My beloved wife asked, "What is that poster ? Who is that man looking like a clown ?". After watching the trailer of his movie on Youtube, my Mom declared, "This is Mamu Koya's son". It offended me no end. I just adore Mamu Koya, you see !

Driving past the Pulleppady bridge, I got a strange brain wave. If Santosh Pandith decides to film his forthcoming movies in 3D, he will start with an advantage. His teeth won't need much technology to reach out to the audience. They pop out even from those billboards.

But the commercial success of this ultra-low budget movie goes on to prove one thing. He has created a new trend in marketing. He has sold crap and reaped gold in one of the most sensational sales tactic I have ever seen. Santhosh Pandith is the scrap dealer in Malayalam Cinema.

So finally with all the cajoling, blackmailing, white-mailing and emailing, I still couldn't muster enough courage to view this Master Feces from the new rag [e] of the Malayalam Cinema. WHY ?

Just watch this... I simply am not brave enough !
