Thiruvananthapuram: Renowned film maker T V Chandran has opined that the quality of the movie that won Adoor Gopalakrishnan the state award for best director equals a tele-serial. His comments came close on the heels of the announcement of state awards for Malayalam films.
He alleged that the state public relations department and the government are gripped by fear when Adoor's film competes for state awards.
The noted film director also stated that Adoor's stand of praising the jury when he gets award and criticising it when he dosen't, is not right.
It's not the job of the director to evaluate a jury, it's the jury that should be judging a movie, he said.
T.V. Chandran also said that Gireesh Kasaravalli, who headed the jury which announced the awards, cannot even think of movie like Bhoomi Malayalam, which was directed by him.
Adoor Gopalakrisnan declined to comment on T.V. Chandran's remarks. He had won the state award for best director for his movie; 'Oru Pennum Randanum.'
