The era of drama invoked a revolution in Kerala which also possessed the hatred of the oppositions. Even then, strikingly, drama created prominent changes in the livelihood of citizens. When you consider the yesteryears of cinema, we could perceive the emergence of great works from the roots of challenged societies. Director is the one who always focused the real human life. Such cinemas created tremendous changes. When you watch the cinema, you could empathize yourselves.
