'''''Chathikkatha Chanthu(Chandu Never Cheat us) ''''' is a 2004 [[Malayalam]] film directed by Rafi - Mecartin.[[Jayasurya]] plays the lead role.[[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]] and [[Navya Nair]] are the heroines. The film also stars [[Madhu]], Vineeth, Lal,[[Cochin Haneefa]], Salim Kumar, Janardhanan, Siddhique, Indrans etc |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
Jayasurya plays the title role- Chandu. Chandu has frequently been misunderstood due to his name’s negative connotation. That prompts the landlord (Janardhanan) to ask Chandu to ‘cheat’ his daughter, Indira (Bhavana) who loves him. Chandhu has no other go but to obey the rich man because he and his mother are solely depended him. For cementing his ‘purported’ love with another girl and thus make Indira to retract from her way, Chandu did some foul play. But that ended by adding one more person (Navya Nair) to his company. Later, Chandu and the new girl reached in the group of film people! The incidents that followed it is disappointing due to lack of logic. |
|||
The first half of ‘Chandu’ has done satisfactorily. But later, ‘the story within the story’ of the movie make the film go down. The ‘palace episode and the induction of ghosts to scare the villains in the movie actually fools the viewers! |
|||
==Multilated== |
|||
And the ending of ‘Chandu’ reminiscent cartoon story! Scenes do not have any logics.Anyhow the movie can be treated as a logic-less, full length comedy. |

:So...you want more subjectivity? Less? Given how short the article is and that it doesn't have any POV issues, not sure what you are asking for. [[Special:Contributions/144.92.84.206|144.92.84.206]] ([[User talk:144.92.84.206|talk]]) 19:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC) |

:It looks perfectly neutral to me. If you're talking about the subjectivity of the movie, I suggest that you get over it. --[[User:Posala|Posie]] ([[User talk:Posala|talk]]) 19:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC) |

I've heard that its a parody of "Contemporary American culture" which is obviously to Zucker probably going to be a spoof of some Liberal things from a conservative standing, but granted, I don't think I've heard "Spoof of Liberalism from a conservative view" from anything official.--[[Special:Contributions/66.66.212.182|66.66.212.182]] ([[User talk:66.66.212.182|talk]]) 00:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC) |

Excellent casting is a plus point of the movie. As for performance goes, Jayasurya has portrayed 'Chandu' very well and with ease. [[Salim Kumar|Salim kumar]],’s appearance as ‘dancer (Jackson) Vikram’ is good. The supporting cast line-up includes Lal, Vineeth, Navya Nayar, Indrans, and Cochin Haneefa all of which have performed well. Saloo George has done a good camera work and the song sequences are also pictured well. Music director is Alex Paul and lyrics are written by Gireesh Puthanchery. Lal creations has produced the movie. |

Hmm.... I agree that maybe something should be added about the politics of the film -- most films are politically neutral, whereas mostly everyone who worked on / acted in this one seems to lean to the far right. If something is said about Micheal Moore's movies leaning to the left, maybe there should be a short blurb to the same effect in this article. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.124.47.155|24.124.47.155]] ([[User talk:24.124.47.155|talk]]) 05:27, 27 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Most films of -this- type are politically left, though. I think that's the point of the bit in the first paragraph. That is to say, most films that are political at all are politically left. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.73.70.113|75.73.70.113]] ([[User talk:75.73.70.113|talk]]) 02:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The movie was a superhit in Kerala Box Office. Though it got some bad words of mouth for its lifeless, logicless storyline, the comedy clicked with the audience and no wonder it bagged so much during its first weeks. In Kozhikode centre, the movie collected around Rs.32 lakhs in 8 weeks. |

Yeah, note that everyone involved with the movie is affiliated Republican or unaffiliated. Given that that's true of a very small minority of Hollywood, I'd say that at least the mention of it is noteworthy. Voight, for one, was a major presence at the convention, and is not in a lot of stuff nowadays.

Given that Zucker is a Neocon, and that film itself it aimed at Neocons, we should include reactions from Neocon thinktanks like the PNAC, the Heritage Foundation, NCPA, etc. [[User:Ericster08|Ericster08]] ([[User talk:Ericster08|talk]]) 06:35, 4 October 2008 (UTC) |

As this film's diametrically opposite competitor, the [[Bill Maher]] film "[[Religulous]]" was released on the same day as this film, it is proper to compare how the two films performed in the box office.

It might also be a good idea to find some materials comparing the two films' marketing campaigns as well, so people can consider how that affects the box office performance. [[Special:Contributions/72.47.47.37|72.47.47.37]] ([[User talk:72.47.47.37|talk]]) 01:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |

:So far, I found this obviously biased commentary comparing the two films at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/maher-mangles-zucker-at-t_b_132064.html with a liberal slant. The other stories I found so far compares other films besides the two films in question. [[User:Steelbeard1|Steelbeard1]] ([[User talk:Steelbeard1|talk]]) 11:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |
