THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The time is for big movies and small movies that stick close to life are fading, says sound designer Resul Pookutty.

“Only technically sound movies can attract audience to theatres. The biggest challenge of cinema is technically sound web series. Small movies don’t attract people anymore. Malayalam Cinema is following the Bollywood formula of big budget movies. Around 90 percent of theatres in Kerala are not technically good enough. Technical organizations of Malayalam cinema should forget their differences and make awareness on technical matters”, Pookutty said.

“Government charge taxes and doesn’t do anything for cinema. V.K. Prakash’s ‘Prana’ with sound direction by me will be a good theatre experience”, Pookutty added.

Producers Suresh Raj, Praveen S. Kumar and Music Director Arun Vijay were present.
