  • Regional Specificities Represented Through Food in Malayalam Films: a Study Focused on Films Angamaly Diaries and Maheshinte Prathikaram
    ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:1 January 2019 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ==================================================================== Regional Specificities Represented through Food in Malayalam Films: A Study Focused on Films Angamaly Diaries and Maheshinte Prathikaram Navami P and Amrutha K J ===================================================================== Introduction Andrei Tarkovsky, once said, “Relating a person to the whole world: that is the meaning of cinema”. Acceptance and applause amassed by cinema since from the time of its inception shall be owed to this reel-real relation portrayed. And for the thrill of being represented somewhere in the reel length, we part our time for this creative expression which got crowned with the title “The Cinderella of All Art.” Afore said representation need not be always the representation of an individual. It can be the manifestation of certain circumstances, lived in experiences, cultural or ethnic background or even the food we eat. Closely mentioning food, it is not just always a curry. Outgrown from being treated as basic amenity, today the food decorates a prominent place in our literature and art. And, of course, in cinema too. The stories and emotions it conceals in its colour and flavour are abundant. Anything can be portrayed through food whether be motherly love or home coming feeling. In a broader aspect the on-screen food may have the potential to speak out the specificities of a locale. Thus, there is nothing wrong if we say, food through the unique lens of film craft something that is the reflective of the society around.
