Kerala Mix-III
After delving into the three Amigos in Contemporary Kerala -Alchohol, Gold, and Comedy [My previous blogs]. We look at the most repulsive yet omnipresent word in Mallu land "SEX". I donot want to sound like another of those "oh! this is a dangerous trend" conservatists. Read the following article titled "Sex and the Mallu" [pun intended!] which appeared in The Week Magazine [November 24-28, 2004] issue. Sex was always bottled up in the psyche, but what does one do when the bottle is transparent for all to see? Some pointers to the trends;
1. At any point in time, there are atleast 5 sex scandals/crimes in Kerala
2. One out of three Indian Adult films is a Keralites work of art [From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, that sleazy "Pyasi Jawani" or "Raat ki Raani" poster you saw on the Mumbai bylanes or along the Guntur road is a dubbed Mallu porn movie].
3. An established mallu movie sex siren is more popular than a malayalam superstar in India[ Ask 10 Indians in India whether they know Shakeela and Dilip?, chances are 8 out of 10 will say they know Shakeela].
last point...
4. If you know who Shakeela is without my blog link, it proves why Sex in God's own Country is a hit.

I think Kerala is bloated way way high with regards to sex movies.I dont think kerala deserve this kinda humiliation.People also tend to view kerala as a sex film monster.I guess this is entirely untrue...
why are mallus and SEX put together always?? look at Mumbai? Is sex and the works any less there? But does anyone talk of Maharashtra and sex?
