Bangalore Days

Bangalore days
The blockbuster movie Bangalore days directed by Anjali Menon have been watched by a vast majority of people of Kerala. Any movie whether an entertainer or not, will always represent the socio-cultural milieu of the society.
Analysing the different characters of the movie will give one a glimpse on Kerala society.

Aju
As it is always Dulqur has become the official orphan of the Malayalam film Industry. Like his every other movie he is either left out from his own family or born as an orphan. Barring apart his family background he epitomizes the typical new generation youth of Kerala.  The guy never shaves, will always have four centimetre thick facial hair grown randomly, always wear a T- shirt be it any occasion, the hair style is always the same as he wakes up in the  morning and always talks Manglish.

Kuttan
Kuttan epitomizes the typical malayali boys. Studies engineering, secures a job in Bangalore as an IT professional, hails from a small village and is exposed to the urban culture for the first time.  Just like any other IT professional from Monday to Friday he works in with his energy and waits for the weekend to arrive. Though he works in an urban setting he always dreams of going back to his sweet home. Like the typical mallus he loves to have a small village girl as his bride. Unlike his urban counterparts he like to marry a village girl with a local name, long hair, trained in home-grown ways… and finally like the traditional way the girl should address him by calling him chetta.

Divya Prakash
Divya Prakash represents the girls of Kerala. Nazriya as always plays the role of a student who is married off immediately as she finishes her college education. A typical arranged marriage in Kerala style. The smart girl who dreamed of studying an MBA course and had never thought about marriage suddenly takes a U turn when the man of her dreams arrives. Handsome, works in Bangalore city, IT professional, good earnings- The groom has everything that a typical malyali girl and her family is looking for-security, cash and status. The marriage is fixed.
