Love jihad looks at women through a patriarchal lens, women are for the control and consumption of patriarchs and men, the embodiment of toxic masculinity. Behind these attractive facades lies detrimental reinforcement of gender norms. “Love Jihad” and “Ennu nine Moideen”, what do they have in common?īoth are dealing with the romantic sacrifices of the platonic love, which goes beyond the worldly edifices of power, whether patriarchal or religious. ‘Love Jihad’ is a stronger version of the same orthodoxy backed by criminalisation of love, destruction of liberty and a complete demolition of personal choices. These two characters fall in love with each other and want to marry but are unable to do so because of the intervention of religion and family.
Ennu Ninte Moideen which roughly translates to “Yours Truly Moideen” is the love story of Kanchanamala and Moideen. Though there are no updates on the Tamil remake of Premam, sources say that the movie will be made in Telugu starring Naga Chaitanya and Shruti Hassan.It is a real life Shakespearean tragedy wrapped in patriarchy with crumbs of feminist dialogues for claps. It depicts the life of the main protagonist George who goes through different phases of love, before finally settling down.Įarlier there were rumors that Tamil actor Dhanush owned the rights of Premam remake in Tamil. The film starring Nivin Pauly in the lead role was scripted and directed by Alphonse Puthren. Premam was another superhit Malayalam movie, which released in May 2015. There were reports that even in the Tamil remake of this film, Prithviraj would play the lead role, but later due to other commitments, he supposedly withdrew from the project. The film has been received well by audiences. In the film, Prithviraj played the role of Moideen, which will be reportedly played by Karthi in the Tamil version. If reports are to be believed, Mollywood’s two recent blockbusters ‘Ennu Ninte Moideen’ and ‘Premam’ will soon have their Tamil versions.Įnnu Ninte Moideen, directed by RS Vimal, portrays the real life love story of a Muslim youth Moideen and a Hindu woman Kanchanamala in 1960s.
Apparently, Malayalam films are the most sought after, to be remade into other South Indian languages, especially Tamil and Telugu, because of their popular mass appeal.
