The concept of yesterday, today and tomorrow is esteemed in Indian traditions and culture. Our great scholars widely discussed the thought of yesterday while rendering discourses on our
Vedas and Puranas. In other words yesterday was our strength and base of experience, wisdom and prosperity.
A children's film in Malayalam aptly titled
Innalaye Thedi (which can be translated into plain language as
In Search of Yesterday) based on the crux theme of our ancient cherishing values, traditions and love, care and pampering of elders enjoyed by children in earlier days with joint-family, is ready for release on December 10. This film is produced under the aegis of Children's Film Club, Thrissur, and directed by the talented young personality Aravindan Nelluvai.
Aravindan has several years of experience in cine filed in different roles. He was associated with veteran writer and director Lohithadas as production executive.
It is a story of an educated and ex-army nomad who in his journey got attached with children. The nomad and 11 children take forth the story written by the director Aravindan himself. The theme of the story elicits the journey portraying the goodness and an attempt to regain the values missed somewhere in the fast phase of urbanisation and the booming trend of nuclear family concept. The movie beautifully unveils the changes in the rural and urban society in a folk-story telling method aesthetically blended with myths and beauty.
Multifaceted veteran actor T.G. Ravi plays the lead role in the film. The film has been shot in digital format in the outskirts of Thrissur and Vatanapally capturing the rich scenic beauty by cameraman Ravi Chandran. The art direction is by famous painter and sculptor Gayatri. The music composed by Sunny P. Sonnet and lyrics by G. Rajeev Nair and A.K. Anilkrishnan and playback sung by Pradeepchandra Kumar.
Mumbai boy Kalidaas plays an important role in this movie. Incidentally Kalidaas is the son of famous writer-journalist K.V.S. Nelluvai aka Sivadas and Soly. K.V.S. Nelluvai is global co-ordinator of Children's Film Club, Thrissur, and he made a debut in the film with a notable small role.
The cast includes Lishoy, Kiran Raj, Dr. Vijaya Raghavan, John Nelluveli, Shibu (Tulips), A.K. Anilkrishnan, Indu Mohan, Nirmala, Mini Arun, Malavika Manu, Riddhima T. Jilsu, Akhila, Anjana Aravindan, Arjun Rajasekharan, Aparna Balamurali, Sarath, Sagar Shyam and Adarsh.
Aravindan says, ' I wanted to make a children's film since long. It happened now. All will ask why a children's film? My answer is now there are any numbers of films being made for adults. But producers, directors and technicians rarely take pains to make films for the young folks. Therefore, I decided to make one.'
The film gives the moral of goodness and universal brotherhood. Before its release it has been built a good hype and widely acclaimed in industry circles. Kudos Aravindan!

NowPublic guest editor generaldecay flagged my story Innalaye Thedi: A Malayalam children's film that moves adult and children alike as 'Needs Improvement' with derogatory interpretations. The story was not written for universal readers, but mainly for Malyalis who live in different parts of the world. That was my vested interest. If writing in favour of a film is vested interest, yes I have vested interest. I don't want NowPublic guest editor tarnish my reputation without understanding me and my intentions and hence I deleted my story. I can publish it elsewhere where nobody hurts me. If the guest editor has been opined that my language, style and presentation need improvement, I would have happily subscribed that advice because my mother tongue is not English.

You were flagged because you did not use the highlight tool to post material that was already published elsewhere on the web (here). You are not allowed to just syndicate content (copy and paste) on NP, and ALL material that is published elsewhere first must be placed in 'highlight'.
The flag had nothing to do with your content or the nature of your content, and this rule applies to everyone who posts here regardless of their reasons for doing so. Note in the comment above (with the dark background) that no derogatory remarks were made.
Please see the FAQ for more information.

The story has been re-published with source link as it was a syndicated story written by me and can not be re-published with highlight tool. I apprecaite NowPublic guest editor generaldecay's withdrawl of "Needs Improvement" flag.

So that we're clear, even if you wrote the story yourself to publish elsewhere (as is the case here), it STILL needs to be placed in "highlight" and it STILL needs to include a written introduction and/ or conclusion.

As I said on my PM to you, here is an example of a story which combines highlights with original commentary. The highlighted (quoted) text is in grey, between the quote marks and the original commentary is in black, outside the quote marks.
Thank you.
