Inspirations are the biggest source of making something remarkable. This trend has been followed in the Malayalam film industry for years and is continuing. The contribution of great visionaries and creative minds is a reference for future film aspirants and fanatics. How is Bharathan, who is considered a ‘legend’ becoming a gold standard reference to the Indian film industry?
Binged would like to celebrate the 78th Birth Anniversary of such a legend and will discuss his contributions to the Malayalam cinema.
Bharathan was an Indian filmmaker, artist, and art director. Bharathan is noted for being the founder of a new school of filmmaking in Malayalam cinema, along with Padmarajan and K. G. George, in the 1980s, which created films that were widely received while also being critically acclaimed.
Furthermore, his depictions of nature and women were becoming trendsetters for the particular to which his eye and artistic viewpoint always reflected his craft. Also, his proficiency as an art director and drawing helped him to visualize the whole film after getting the full-fledged script.
Furthermore, his shift of genres was tremendous from drama to revenge and thereby thriller, capturing all facets of the style of cinematic experience. His associations with brilliant minds like Padmarajan, Lohitadas, M T Vasudevan Nair, etc. have made him witness pure masterclass efforts and can develop a re-watchable factor.
Subsequently, his introduction of non-conventional blends with traditional frames is a gifted prospect for Indian cinema, unfortunately, which the majority of them didn’t explore.
Apart from his feats as a director, his works in sculpturing, poster designing, music composition, and being a lyricist are notable.
Nature always says, “Legends do not die, they live for their creations for inspiration to the next generation”. Likewise, the works of Bharathan will always inspire every group of people, regardless of the time thus becoming a strong pillar for Mollywood.
Do watch movies like ‘Vaishali’ (1988) or ‘Amaram’ (1991) for the weekend and stay tuned in Binged for more updates.
