It is only a short time since the word sex education began to be used among the Malayalis. Many thought it was bad to recite such a word.
Even in the education system, our society has not been able to provide proper awareness of gender. But with the passage of time, as public awareness and films began to change, small changes began to appear.
In exploring these changes in Malayalam cinema, very few films have done it justice. The latest entry to that group is the government production directed by TV Ranjith.
Talking about the film which has been in discussions even before its release because of its name, there are some things that the society needs to acknowledge. The film has come out in a situation where India has overtaken China in the world’s population. The film is about sexuality among the Malayalis. The output of the government reveals all the moral thoughts of the society.
Mohanlal’s film Dasharatham, released in the late eighties, talked about the possibilities of surrogacy. Few films, like Nizam Basheer’s Ketyolanente Malakha and last year’s Mammootty film Kathal The Core, have portrayed sex as romance.
The film is about the glorious scheme of male sterilization implemented by the central government to control population growth. The movie starts by saying that this movie is dedicated to the workers of Asha. Actress Gauri Kishan plays the role of Asha Worker in the film, which shows the activities of health workers as part of a project in a very realistic manner.
Gauri’s character as Divya, who takes over as Ashavarka, has to enter many houses as part of various programmes. Meanwhile, the panchayat is also giving Divya the responsibility of male sterilization, a new scheme by the central government.
If a man with more than two children is found and sterilized, the panchayat will receive a reward. So, Divya has to work under pressure from her superiors. Divya walks a lot for someone. Many people who don’t know about this give Divya a headache.
Where is male sterilization performed? Will it hurt? Do the child? Someone asks Divia. When the manner of his question changes, she walks out of there angrily unfulfilled.
There is a dialogue where the mother looks at Divya, who feels tense at home due to the pressure of work, and says, ‘if your father was there, he would have been done by the elders, if he wouldn’t have died’. When Divya laughs listening to her mother, the audience also laughs unknowingly.
The idea presented by the film is portrayed very well in every scene. At one point in the film, all the pity Divya feels when she has to go into every house and distribute condoms when she takes over as Ashavarkar.
The first name ‘Bharat Sarkar Product’ was realized only when it becomes a perfect product in terms of text and presentation.
