‘As far as I know, PN made a big change in Malayalam cinema. Sir Menon. His movie ‘Olam Vum Thiravum’ is a movie that came out of the studio. He was the first to show that he could cut from a long shot to a close up and from a close shot to a long shot. It was not like that in the past.
A scene begins in wide, then suggests close-up, close-up, and finally ends in wide. That was the idea. And the camera wouldn’t go any further, it was only at 180 degrees. It was considered wrong to cross the imaginary line. PN Menon changed all that thinking.
Along with that, there are John Abraham, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Bharathan, Padmarajan, KG George and others. The flow of these talents began in the 70s. It is then that the film has the language of the film. The other was like a stage. They were the ones who went through these events and brought the film to what it is today. Especially those who came from the Film Institute,’ says Vijayaraghavan.
