This is the story of a daredevil who made a well discussed Malayalam film, Krishnanum Radhayum, for an amount of less than ten lakh rupees. Cinema is generally defined as the creation of a number of artists and technicians. But Santhosh Pandittt sought only the help of a camera man. From Director to location set boy was no other than Santhosh Pandittt. Co- artists are mainly his teenage friends. He sold his village house received inherited to raise fund for the film. Every song in the cinema was appeared in You Tube before the release and became top second after Facebook. More than 2.5 million viewers saw each clip. In spite of all its flaws as a cinema, he earned several millions of rupees from this cinema.
Some see him as a comedian in real life. But this is not right. There are roles for the comedians in a film. When a person shows excellence in two or three fields or phases, we call him a versatile genius. Santhosh Pandit may not be considered as a genius. But making such a film with successful result is not a negligible one. His film is not kept closed in a box. It is a crowd puller film in theatres of shouting and dancing audiences.
Now those who don’t know Santhosh Pandit are comparatively very low. Then he is a self made daredevil! We are forced to approve him.
His film may be a disputed one. The quality and features of his film is not a subject to discuss. It may have a number of demerits. It is clear that nobody can shine in all fields. It can be seen as the change in the modern times. We find time to sit in an open theatre to watch the degradable programs in our own locality.
Break dances and the modern film songs are to be observed critically. Meaning or gesture has no place in modern songs and dances. They are not classical; but become classic. So is the case of Santhosh Pandit’s film.
Now the scene has been changed. Most of the viewers are in thrill.
Endurance is the solution!
