Trending Court: State Vs A Nobody Box Office...

In the eyes of many, anime is nothing but shonen shows — stories about guys with spiky hair and superpowers that fight with the power of friendship. And yet, the medium is also filled with adaptations of literary classics. Even if the U.S. didn't really care about anime until "Dragon Ball," "Sailor Moon," and then "Pokémon" premiered in the '90s, international fans — especially in Latin America — know anime best thanks to "World Masterpiece Theater."

This was a TV show produced and distributed by Fuji TV that would adapt a different classical book or story each year, airing first from 1969 to 1997 and then getting a revival from 2007 to 2009. It was through "World Masterpiece Theater" that Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata got their start in animation, with shows like "Anne of Green Gables," "Heidi, Girl of the Alps," and "Marco, 3000 Leagues in Search for Mother." These were hugely popular shows and...

Here’s Why Unni Mukundan’s Marco May Be Still Trending On Aha Telugu (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Marco has been one of the biggest successes in the careers of lead actor Unni Mukundan and director Haneef Adeni, especially for the latter. A significant reason for this success was the intense violence depicted in the film, something rarely seen in the Malayalam film industry before. However, this very aspect has now turned into a major hurdle.

The film has already been banned from airing on linear satellite TV, and there have been reports of efforts to prevent its streaming on Ott platforms as well. Despite these challenges, Marco has only gained more popularity, possibly due to its controversy. More people are watching the film than ever before.

In a significant development, Marco has been trending in the top 10 list on Aha Telugu for two consecutive weeks. This is notable because the...

Even before its theatrical release, Marco was heavily promoted by its makers for its depiction of violence while simultaneously facing criticism from various quarters for its violent content. Calls for a ban on the film have been ongoing, with questions raised about how the Central Board of Film Certification (Cbfc) granted it an adults-only certificate and allowed its release.

Adding to the controversy, incidents of violence involving youngsters against family members, friends, and rivals have been alleged to take inspiration from films like Marco and Kill. The opposition party, sections of the general public, and even the government itself have attributed this surge in youth violence to the influence of such films. Even Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, citing a report from the Kerala Police in the state assembly, suggested that the comedy-action film Aavesham had inspired youngsters to associate with real-life gangsters.

Excitement around the digital premiere

Around its theatrical release, the Malayalam action thriller was heavily promoted as an ‘A’ rated film boasting gory content. Many even labeled it as the most violent Indian film.

What Did Unni Mukundan Say About Actors Producing Their Own Films? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Unni Mukundan gained nationwide attention for his film Marco, but South Indian audiences have long known him as an actor. However, did you know he is also a producer? He runs his own production house, Unni Mukundan Films (Umf). Most of his recent films are produced as joint ventures with other producers, including Marco, which was co-produced by Shareef Muhammed’s Cubes Entertainments and Umf.

However, the Producers Association in Kerala is unhappy with such arrangements. They believe that many Malayalam films fail partly due to the high remuneration actors demand. As a result, the association wants to implement measures to reduce actors’ pay and prevent them from producing their own films.

The Producers Association voiced these concerns in a press conference and even threatened to strike if the situation did not change. Now, Unni Mukundan has responded to the controversy.
