An urge to react


A film that enkindles us to react against the atrocious activities in our society has won huge applause from the viewers. The actor turned director Madhupal through his film Talappavu is certainly giving a message to the present society. "This film definitely doesnt support naxalism in any way"says the director. Though he has taken the theme of naxalism to urge the socitety to react, the film doesnt give out a message to resort to naxalism as a mode of reaction. He did take up the time when naxalism loomed large in kerala because that was the time when people had to suffer a lot. At that time naxlaism provided a platform for a handful of people to go against the established norms which were supprtive to the landlord community. Now its the so called politics that exercises its activities without taking into consideration the sentiments of the people.

Madhupal narrated two incidents that changed his attitude towards malayalees. The incident at the rehabilitation camp of the tsunami victims and the other at an accident site promulgates the hypocrisy that amalayalee clads himself in. Being a witness to such incidents in life and with a strong conviction to react against such pretentions he has used film as a platform. 

This is a time to react and he urges the young daring community to raise their voice that disturbs the shackles of the society that has imbibed the wrong notions.
