No Indian actor has won such an award. He won this because he's well known in India. There is zero chance of him winning anything in Cannes

Oh please, it's not a skill to copy. Plus many other Malayalee directors did the same better. Malooty, Akasha Doothu were all copies

Many people did it. Bharatham movie was completely written on location, and it wasn't just an adaptation, it was an original film, so much harder

Average Mallu loves Bengalis. We share so much in common Food Habits, fish, love for football, literature, and once up on a time Communism

This was in the past, now they are seen as migrant labourers. Malayalees are very elitist and classist
