ഹോഡു കണ്ടും കേട്ടും പരിചിതമായ കഥയുടെ ഗംഭീര ആവിഷ്കാരം



കണ്ടും കേട്ടും പഴകിയ കഥയുടെ ഗംഭീര ആവിഷ്കാരമാണ് ഹോഡു എന്ന  കൊച്ചു മലയാള ചലച്ചിത്രം. കൊറോണ കാലത്ത് പരിമിതമായ സൗകര്യങ്ങളിൽ എടുത്ത ചിത്രമാണിത്. ഒരു പോലീസ് സ്റ്റേഷനും അവിടെ കസ്റ്റഡിയിൽ കൊണ്ട് വരുന്ന വിവിധ കേസുകളിലെ പ്രതികളെയും കേന്ദ്രീകരിച്ചാണ് സിനിമ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നത്. രാഷ്ട്രീയ അധികാര പിൻബലത്തിൽ യഥാർത്ഥ കുറ്റവാളികൾ രക്ഷപ്പെടുന്നതും നിരപരാധികളായവർ പകരം ബലിയാക്കപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നതിന്റെ ഭീകര കാഴ്ചകളാണ് സിനിമ മുഴുവൻ. അഭിനയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നവരെല്ലാം പുതുമുഖങ്ങളാണെന്ന പുതുമയും ചിത്രത്തിനുണ്ട്. ക്ലൈമാക്സ് പ്രേക്ഷകരിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്ന ഉൾക്കിടിലം ഒരു ഭയമായി തന്നെ  പതിഞ്ഞിരിക്കും. ചിത്രം isteam OTT ൽ ലഭ്യമാണ്. ചിത്രത്തിലെ കാഴ്ചകൾ പ്രായപൂർത്തി ആയവർക്ക് മാത്രമായി പരിമിത പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

Santosh (2024) – A Quietly Devastating Crime Drama That Holds Up a Mirror to Society

Image
In an era of cinematic spectacle, where loud storytelling often drowns out subtle truths, Santosh (2024) emerges as a rare voice of quiet resistance. Directed by Sandhya Suri and starring the formidable Shahana Goswami, this Hindi-language crime drama is not just a film—it’s an indictment, a meditation, and above all, a mirror to the deeply entrenched social fault lines in India. Plot Overview: A Uniform, A System, A Disappearance The story follows Santosh Saini (Shahana Goswami), a 28-year-old widow in rural North India who is appointed as a police constable through India’s "compassionate appointment" system.

As Santosh struggles to find her footing in the bureaucratic jungle of law enforcement, she is mentored (and later morally tested) by the hardened Inspector Geeta Sharma (Sunita Raj...

No More Back Benchers: Rethinking Classroom Seating Inspired by the Malayalam movie 'Sthanarthi Sreekuttan'

Introduction: A New Vision from Cinema The Malayalam movie 'Sthanarthi Sreekuttan' offers a revolutionary classroom idea. In this vision, the term 'back benchers' doesn’t exist. This may seem like a fantasy, but it carries a strong message about equality, engagement, and the psychology of learning.

This new model challenges that bias and promotes a democratic and inclusive learning space. Why the 'Back Bencher' Label Needs to Go Traditional row-based seating creates psychological and physical gaps between students and the teacher. Back benchers often feel ignored, disengaged, or stereotyped. This limits their participation, motivation, and connection to learning.
