Sextortion & Male Mafia: Reality of Malayalam Film Industry | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The Hema Committee report, released by the Kerala government this week, unearths some disturbing details about sexual harassment, exploitation and discrimination faced by women in the Malayalam film industry. The report details 17 forms of exploitation in total and has evoked some strong reactions. But the matter of fact is that none of this is new. It's been an open secret for decades. Why then did no one speak about it? Why aren't women safe anywhere? Palki Sharma explains.

Despite all this committee report, dileep is not arrested..he is enjoying stardom

[nishalakshmanan]

Atleast in Malayalam this report is made, no one will dare to even make a report in other film industries. They have the real power heroes.

[vc]

This is the case for a small film industry like kerala. Imagine how much worse it is in Tamil, Telugu and Bollywood which are bigger industries??

[paruramesh]

The said actor dileep is roaming freely, invited as guests in TV channels, releasing movies, has stardom who still supports his behaviour 🤡

[ssrk]

Toxic fanbase is the main reason, have seen people abusing actor parvathi just for her comment on mamooty

[sanjuvolks]

Really appreciate people of Kerala working on this issue and bringing out a report like this in the public. I wish other industries in India showed the courage too!

[alexchacko]

The government is helpless because main villians are part of this government. Kerala has no opposition party to react.

[sangeethnandakumar]

Man, I'm from Kerala. let me tell you the whole Kerala community is supporting the Hema Commission report. I found a lot of people unknownly telling "litracy" and everything. It's not like that. The issue is there, Kerala people are aware, They're protesting for a change. But the Govt is not doing much that's true. Avoid putting half known facts. It's a serious issue and people are well addressing that here

[MuhamedAlthaf-tmxl]

This is not just the case of Malayalam film Industry, this is the condition of ALL FILM INDUSTRIES. Kerala had the intellect to form a committee.

[TubbysWorld]

This is what happens when people treat these entertainers as GoDs. 💀

[abhinavsinghvirsen]

people are fighting for molly wood and Bollywood not for women dignity make me sad ! i stand by women facing those challenges

[rjulien]

If this is happening in malayalam industry...i can't imagine how it is in Tamil, telegu and Bollywood...💀💀

[pearlgoddess]

Thank you for taking this up. You must follow this up please. Everyone in Kerala are saying nothing is going to happen and things will go on same.

[natarajansuresh]

The state govt may be hand in glove with those who do sexual harrasment, i think.

[haleEnd]

Kudos Kerala government for the report 🙌🏻🙌🏻meanwhile other film industries

[Life_is_beau]

It's not only in mollywood. These things are happening in other film industries as well. Women are not safe anywhere.

[violetonyancha]

Indian women need your support.your are a good inspiration to me🎉

[lijogr]

It's everywhere, in all film industries.. only the malayalam film industry got the courage to investigate.

[maheshrachakonda]

Not just Kerala, there are sexual harassment in every state movie industry.
Especially We all know, Bollywood and tollywood. Many actress came out and spoke .

We should appreciate kerala govt for atleast they formed a committee and got report..

All state movie industry should be inquired on women harassment.

[MasterNPC-ypon]

From Hollywood to Bollywood to KPop, you will find these in every entertainment industry. Sad Reality of this world.
