MUSIC IN KERALA FILMS

 MUSIC IN KERALA FILMS

What is the theory of music is unknown to many even though keeping a watch on the activities being done on the back ground is still to be revealed.  Nobody knows that what is the exact background pictures going on in movies, how they are directed and filmed and how much is the likely effort, material cost, remuneration to artists and other allied costs, manpower required for completion of a movie. The cost may vary from movie to movie but the efforts required for shooting two and half hour movie is unimaginative.  The struggle felt in making a movie from beginning of its production to release and after success later to release is beyond expression and may lead to stammering. It is heard that in beginning of the 20 century there are a very few movies but after 1950 the number of movies increased a little bit but the period from 1960 to 1980 was a golden era of music and cinema in Kerala.  There are many musicians in Kerala film Industry. Famous among them are M.S. Viswanathan, G. Devarajan, Naushad, Ravindran, John Paul, are the famous music directors in Kerala film domain.   The famous song writers are Great Vayalar Ramaverma, Salil Chaudhary, Kaithapram Damodaran Namboodiri, Vayalar Sarathchandra Verma

The legends like AM Raja, Baburaj, Kamukara Purushothaman, Brahmanandan, KJ Yesudas, P. Jayachandran,  MG Sreekumar, G Venugopal, Biju Narayanan, Markkose, Madhu Balakrishnan, Vidhu Pratap are the some of the famous male singers.   On the other hand female singers are not too many and they are M.S.Subbalakshi Ammal, S. Janaki, Maadhuri, P Susheela, K.S.Chithra, P. Sujatha.  There are many new singers in the Kerala film industry.  But naming all of them will take too much time this is written only for the efforts put in by them all towards film industry and the writer would like to share his views how the movies are screened and reached to people and its background how the movies are filmed and with such great efforts all the movies are produced but unfortunately some movies could not make it to the successful list of movies due to some or other reasons, may be such movies were good but they were not fortunate enough to enjoy the winning moments.

While writing about movies and their background I forgot about the writers and script writers of these movies which are really interesting, how you will successfully write a script and how these scripts are filmed by the respective Directors in coordination with Production Team.  Every thing will be on the right path when it gives immense pleasure to the audience who watch theses movies but there may be misfortunes, which will drive a negative thought in the mind of all those who involved in the movie that why that film was flop, nobody can predict any movie and its positive and negative results because all in our hands is to dedicate ourselves to the work allotted to us and do it carefully, then all the points will come together and all the dedicated efforts will prove to make positive results.
