KERALITES ARE CRAZY ABOUT DRAMA

KERALITES ARE CRAZY ABOUT DRAMA There are any number of troupes staging drama ; most village libraries have their own dramatists , including script writers. There are professionals famous throughout Keralam. KPCC is one of them . Their play “ningalenne kammunistaki’ (you made me a communist) became so famous that its leading star is still known as KPAC Lalita!a . The songs composed by one who never learned music were on the lips of all. The play was instrumental in spreading the message of communism in Keralam. I like Hindi music more than Malayalam tunes ; but the songs of this play is a thrill even now. There are drama festivals just like film festivals. Rarely did I see a drama , but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like films . My wife and sister-in-law too share this mania . Now the TV has punched a hole in the film industry . Now the number of those who go to a theatre is much less. People watch the CD at home . There are houses where pornographic films are exhibited for earning money.
