The much-anticipated Hindi romantic movie Param Sundaristarring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, has actually triggered a wave of outrage amongst Malayali material developers. Numerous developers have actually voiced strong objections to the movie’s representation of Kerala culture– and now implicate the movie’s makers of silencing dissent after important posts were eliminated from Instagram.
Malayali developers knock Param Sundari for stereotypes, makers implicated of silencing dissent
Vocalist and RJ Pavithra Menon was amongst the very first to openly slam the representation of Malayali females in the trailer, especially targeting the stereotyped representation that consists of jasmine flowers used in hair and Mohiniyattam dance scenes in daily life. In her now-deleted video, she asked, “Women in Kerala do not walk using jasmine flowers and dancing Mohiniyattam.” The video was eliminated after Instagram flagged it due to a copyright claim by Maddock Films.
Menon shared a screenshot of the takedown notification and paradoxically quipped, “Happy Independence Day to everyone who has a voice.” Undeterred, she re-uploaded the video while expressing her frustration that a Hindi actor was chosen to represent a Malayali character. She asked, “What’s the problem with employing a proper Malayali actor? Are we less talented? This does not happen in Kerala. We don’t wear jasmine flowers around or do Mohiniyattam in offices and homes.” She further suggested simplifying pronunciation challenges by saying, “simply use Trivandrum instead of Thiruvananthapuram – we’ll be satisfied.”
Another content creator, Vedangi, echoed this criticism and leveled accusations against the film’s team. In a new video, she stated, “The team behind this movie is currently suppressing all Malayali creators. Several creators have complained about this. Instead of conducting a thorough study, they chose to capitalise on Kerala’s culture. The portrayal is extremely out of touch and disrespectful.” She also emphasized that their critiques fall within fair use under Section 52 of the Copyright Act, arguing, “We are free to express our criticism. However, every Mallu creator who mocked the trailer has received copyright infringement notices. This is silence, pure and simple. You may have cast or dubbed a Malayali actress. I think silencing us was worthwhile.”
This backlash adds another layer to the controversy surrounding Param Sundari, following earlier discontent from the Christian community over a romantic sequence filmed in a church. The community had called for the removal of that scene from the film’s song.
