Santhosh Pandit and the Malayalam media made some easy money thanks to broadband internet and the well inflated mallu ego. While SP earned every bit of it, by making an impossible movie hit the screens and most importantly by taking tons of unbearable slurs and sarcastic appreciations, the media shamelessly sucked on, playing different roles at different times- as a moral police, the intelligent satirist and now the ‘lets celebrate this’ enthusiast. The attitude of the average online mallu remained the same throughout..- Ignorant, Irritated and Intolerant..
SP has done something that the mainstream Malayalam film/serial industry has been doing for the past many years - Selling dog crap in expensive packages . The only difference was that SP had just enough money to afford a package that read.. “Worthless dog crap” and he sold it as 'worthless dog crap' and people bought it so that they could tell the world how worthless the dog crap really was and thereby display their commitment towards quality literature and art..
I think there is one good thing in all this.. Next time when we see Shaji Kailas blabbering about how he shot Mohanlal’s bouncing belly using 25 HD cameras and the Hubble telescope, when we see Mayamma , Ponnamma and Ammakkili crying vehemently to save their marriage with some Shibu , Thomasukutty or Kumaran, we will have a familiar song playing at the back of our minds.. “Raatri Shubharaatri..” :D
