Malik, starring Fahad Fazil in the lead role, was released a few days back. The film is directed by Mahesh Narayanan. The film was released by Amazon. The film was acquired by Amazon for Rs 22 crore. This is one of the highest grossing films in Malayalam cinema. Currently only scene 2 is above Malik. Drishyam 2 was acquired by Amazon for Rs 30 crore.
Malik discusses a very emotional topic. The film is based on the Bimapalli shooting that took place a few years back. The scenes seen in the media at that time can be seen in the movie as well. However, Mahesh Narayanan claims that the film has nothing to do with the incident. But this is just hand washing. Because the director has distorted the historical event in such a bad way.
Now a young woman is claiming that the film is anti-Islamic. Shruti posted a similar post on Facebook. This person claims that Muslims are badly portrayed throughout the film. This person points to several contexts from the film that validate it. Malik says that cinema is anti-Muslim by counting every reason. This post is now going viral on social media.
A lot of people are coming on the scene for and against this issue. It is said that anti-Muslim sentiments can be seen in films including Take Off directed by Mahesh Narayanan. Anyway there is a heated debate going on on this issue right now. Meanwhile, Malik’s film is making good progress.
