My Views on Hema Commission Report.

"Like the two wings of a bird, women and men are of equal value. Without the two in perfect balance, humanity cannot progress." - Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

In the Malayalam Film Industry, some cats have being falling out of the bag as the Hema Commission report has been released finally by the Kerala Government.

Many allegations have come out along with resignations of some prominent figures in the Malayalam film industry.

Any report for the improvement and to bring more safety and transparency for the Malayalam Film industry along with improving conditions for the artists should be welcome and each allegation needs to be properly investigated and the guilty punished.

Also I must add Malayalam film industry does not become maligned by allegations, it becomes maligned only if things are suppressed.

Also it needs to be noted that the allegations do not become like the Solar-Sarita type against former and Late Chief minister Oomen Chandy, that were completely false and Sarita just happened to be a opportunist in the hands of the opposition. Again it should be noted  that consensual sex or transactional sex is not termed as rape or molestation. This would clearly hinder the real victims from getting justice.

Also what is baffling is the timing of the report released by the Kerala Government. The Kerala government in order to hide its failure to prevent the Wayanand Crises has found a perfect scrapegoat. Wonder why the government woke up suddenly after all these years when the report was submitted in 2017.

I must add Malayalam film industry still remain by far the best industry among the southern film industries in terms of its content and the opportunity it provides for the newcomers whether it is direction or acting . The recent movies  like Premalu, Manjumal Boys and Vaazha support that.

Let the Malayalam film industry not be in denial and use this as an opportunity for safety, security and transparency in the Malayalam film industry.
