Malik Movie: Real-Life Event or Hollywood Fiction? Unveiling the Story behind the Trailblazer
Recently, the Malik movie has garnered significant attention for its portrayal of a real-life event that took place in Bheemapally in 2009. While the film received mixed reviews, it has sparked curiosity and debate over the authenticity of its story. This article explores the real-life connection between the movie and the events it depicts.
Waste of Time: Director's Focus
One of the criticisms levied against the Malik movie is the director's focus on building an elaborate image for the character of Suleiman instead of sticking to the main plot. Many viewers found the supporting cast to be the lifeline of the film's success. Notable performances by cast members such as Indrans, Jalaja, Devaki, Rajendran, Sanal Aman, Parvathy, Krishna, Joju George, and Vinay Fort have been praised for enhancing the overall quality of the movie.
Communist Party's Silence
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Malik movie is the Communist Party's silence on the allegations made in the film. Typically, such an event would have prompted immediate and forceful reaction from the party. However, the deafening silence has added a layer of mystery and speculation, engaging the audience and media alike.
A Real-Life Connection: Bheemapally, 2009
Despite denials from the movie's crew regarding any real-life connection, the Malik movie is based on real events that occurred in Bheemapally on May 17, 2009. Here is a detailed account of the real-life events:
Political Climate
At that time, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government was in power with V S Achyuthanandan as the chief minister. The government faced heavy criticism for the events that transpired. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, the home minister, was involved in these events, which were not explicitly mentioned in the movie.
Inciting Incident
The events were triggered by a local goon named 'Kombu Shibu.' This individual purchased items and threatened to stop the Uroos festival, which was scheduled to occur on May 25, 2009. The local mosque authorities reported the situation to the police, requesting intervention to arrest Kombu Shibu.
Tragic Consequence
Tragically, 16-year-old Firoz was shot while playing cricket on the beach on that day. In the movie, this character is represented as 'Amir' by actor Avinash Naik.
Government's Response
On the day of the attacks, Sri Surendran Pilla, an MLA from the Kerala Congress P C Thomas chapter, arrived at Bheemapally at 6 PM. In the film, Dileesh Pothen portrays a character named 'Abu Bakkar,' who bears a resemblance to Surendran Pilla.
Local authorities at Bheemapally Jamma and Poonthura and Shankumugham police station received complaints about Kombu Shibu but took no action. In the film, Salim Kumar plays a character similar to Mr. Aziz, the complainant.
Agency Involvement
K Biju, the IAS sub-collector, and Sanjay Kaul, the district collector, were in charge. According to reports, the collector issued orders to shoot, which is reflected in the character Joju George portrays in the movie.
Production Details
Interestingly, the Malik movie was shot almost entirely on artificial sets that mimicked Bheemapally. The production team used real bombs and bullets to add authenticity to the film, ensuring a thrilling and intense viewing experience.
Conclusion
The Malik movie stands as a poignant reminder of the real-life events that transpired in Bheemapally in 2009. Its blend of fact and fiction has made it a subject of fascination and discussion. While the movie may not have reached all expectations, its real-life connections and the underlying social context it represents make it a noteworthy entry in the world of cinema.
