Kochi: Keralam Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Tuesday praised the Nivin Pauly-Mamitha Baiju-starrer Malayalam film ‘Bethlehem Kudumba Unit’, saying its treatment, portrayal of village life and warm human relationships kept him engaged throughout. In a Facebook post, Satheesan said he had watched the film with his daughter and her friend after a long gap, as his busy schedule had disrupted his habit of watching at least one film every month. <\/p>\n
“I used to watch at least one film every month, but my busy schedule had made me give up the habit. After a long gap, I finally watched a film in one sitting yesterday (Monday)!’,” he said. <\/p>\n
Satheesan said he could easily connect with the film as it reminded him of his childhood and the village life he had witnessed growing up. <\/p>\n
“The village landscapes we saw back then, the people who lived there, the ordinary lives they led, the love they shared and the warm romances – – all these elements kept me glued to the screen,” Satheesan said. <\/p>\n
The CM added that he wondered why he had taken so long to watch the film after it ended. <\/p>\n
Praising the performances, Satheesan said even actors who appeared in just one or two scenes had made their presence felt. <\/p>\n
The film made him laugh and, at times, moved him to sadness, he said, adding that he enjoyed it from beginning to end. <\/p>\n
“This film is the result of complete teamwork,” he said. <\/p>\n
Satheesan said writing a note appreciating a film was not something he usually did, but the experience had left him refreshed and prompted him to share his thoughts. <\/p>\n
The Chief Minister also said he had called director A D Girish and actor Sangeeth Prathap to congratulate them. <\/p>\n
He could not reach actors Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju over the phone, he added. <\/p>\n
Satheesan also singled out Glikson, a role played by Roshan Shanavas, who had won a place in his heart along with the other actors. <\/p>\n
“Along with them, there is one more person who has found a place in my heart – -Glikson. Poor Glikson!” he wrote. <\/p>\n
The Chief Minister congratulated everyone who had worked on the film. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kochi: Keralam Chief Minister V D Satheesan on Tuesday praised the Nivin Pauly-Mamitha Baiju-starrer Malayalam film ‘Bethlehem Kudumba…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,3060,154,127098],"class_list":["post-310602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-kudumba-unit","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-v-d-satheesan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
