After getting my own phone,I was so excited to watch Nayantara documentary but I was disappointed as it didn’t entertain me , motivate me .I felt nothing . Then this came. I feel so much hopeful seeing this discussion atleast: some things said in this I feel like hearing again and again😊
Its an irony that Pa.Ranjith himself goes for fair skinned Heroines mostly.He does not even cast Tamil Speaking Actresses as leads. And here we are seeing this documentary from Neelam
@@vijayinvimarsanam3090 and this is manipulation of Tamil PPL against each other claiming only Blacks are Tamils. Utter nonsense. First he needs to change before pointing at anyone.
I thought of that too. But realised that emerging directors like him probably have to go with what the producers want. Established directors like Maniratham and Vetrimaran should make a stand. Imagine having manisha play a village girl and Andrea a slum girl
17:30 this girl spits fire!!! and the lastt line by thatt sir made me tear up...i genuinely want too hug parosalil the directors and and the people who have come front and said the things ,like evrything i wanted to make a video about this beautifully thank you so much team
@@PNithishkannan They went for actors with proper cricket training. The director said about this, the only bar for selection was cricket knowledge and training (budget issues included).
Proud to be part of this wonderful documentary, which is much needed for our film industry. As a Direction student and Associate Director for this project, I am really happy to see our vision brought to the screens for the Kollywood audience. We are looking forward to seeing a healthy debate on this topic, as we believe that’s where change begins. Kudos to our Director Paro Salil and the team for their hard work and dedication in making this well-crafted documentary! ❤
i remember a press meet for a recent movie, it had sjsurya , ragava lawrence. i was fairly suprised the heroine was dark skinned a reporter questioned on appearance of the heroine saying she wasnot that great looking. the director (dont remember his name, from jigardanda movie) questioned, she looks beautiful, wats wrong? the reporter was not able to explicitly say she was dark. there is lil change, but we need more people like him
avan mythuku enna vanduchu if she iis DARKSKINNED?? she is a malayali actor and morover the movie revolves aroud themm being tribes so who the f is he is tell she is not good enough she is a goldenn gemm of mollywood

Thank you for doing this! As a dark skinned girl, I spent the first 30 years of my life being insulted and feeling inferior about my skin colour. And only since moving to Australia have I had compliments on my skin and respect for who I am despite my looks.
Regarding blatant Colourism in our Tamil cinema ,we have had several debates amongst our friends.I watched this documentary in absolute awe,for the way it has been documented. And that too for a topic like this to be promoted by a channel helmed by a director who has used fair skin heroines , shows his commitment towards reforms and change in perspective.
This generation of filmmakers must prioritize creating meaningful and relevant content that resonates with diverse audiences. It's crucial to take this responsibility seriously and actively work on incorporating diversity in all aspects of our films-be it in casting, storytelling, or representation of cultures and perspectives. By doing so, we can ensure that our movies reflect the richness and complexity of the world we live in today. This approach not only enriches the cinematic experience but also fosters inclusivity, breaks stereotypes, and creates a stronger connection with a global audience. Let’s commit to making films that celebrate and embrace diversity in every frame.
Lol, do you think these people will let the outsiders get in this industry? If the talent is based on merit none of these stars wouldn't survive for a day!
Very important documentary! I think we also need to realise that even progressive directors like Pa Ranjith, Mari selvaraj and Vetrimaran are struggling to cast dark skin women in their movies and its about time they made that change too.
Pa.Ranjith casted Eswari Rao in Kaala, and Dhushara in 2 of his films as lead, Parvathy and Preethi in Thangalaan. He casted Nandhitha and Aishwarya Rajesh in Attakathi. Yes, in Madras he casted Catherine theresa backing with fact that again it shouldn’t be stereotyped that everyone from North Madras is darkskinned. Mari Selvaraj has most of his leads as wheatish brown except Keerthy Suresh -Rajisha vijayan, Divya Duraisamy and Kayal Anandhi. Vetrimaran casted only Aishwarya Rajesh. Everyone has been fair skinned. I am not saying this to defend them, It’s like giving excuse for colourism that exists in society’s mindset by just pointing fingers on a few filmmakers.
Yes Vetrimaran also choosing fair heroine and tan her in viduthalai movie After movie release of viduthalai I saw that heroine in one interview she was much fairer than movie I thought she's dark in real but in reality it's reverse
I am in tears ... wonderful documentary.... these are all the views I have on today's movie industry... and you are able to put that in a wonderful documentary...
Super Documentary!!! The proud of Tamilnadu is Black🖤, idk how it is in north, but south is Black. Fair comes only through wealth or nature. It was always like that, that black is ugly and fair is beauty💔. Rajini Sir brought the life of Black on screen. Disappointed that Kollywood doesn't show the true colour of Tamilnadu. Vijay, Rajini etc were very dark, and through AC, Fair cream and healthy food, they became more fairly. There is no dusky actress in Kollywood anymore. 99% Kollywood actress are from other states and only fairly.
This is the only question i have been asking to lot out there for very long time!!! And You guy’s really made exactly what i was trying to convey!! 💯❤️🔥
Wow.... The best documentary I ever seen actually it needs lots of guts to do it.. And u ppl, have it ..... 😇😇IS NOT JUST A DOCUMENTARY, IT'S LIFE.....
It starts with Ajith & Vijay movies pairing a dark skinned female lead. I dont want to see an Aishwarya Rajesh, Dushara Vijayan, Niveditha Satish a heroine sister, a tribal girl to be shot down, sexually abused. I want her to do a role where she puts her point across.
Whole documentry is Awesome 🔥🔥🔥 And encouraging our people that we are normal in the society 👏👏👏 Making the aspiration young film directors in right path🤝🔥🔥 But why did you look at the aayirthil oruvan kingdom??? Which is the actual colour of people!!! AO was taken before the boon of Internet but no recognition still😭😭😭
Fantastic work!! And much needed. As a recent kollywood convert the colorism and brown face is both evident and jarring. I hope the directors take note. And most of all I hope we as a people demand better of ourselves and our cinema, nationwide.
தரமான படைப்பு 👍🏻💐 நிறத்தால் நானும் பல இடங்களில் பல வலிகளை சந்தித்திருக்கிறேன். எனக்கு தமிழ் தான் தெரியும் ஆனால் ஏன் இந்த ஆவணப்படம் 80% ஆங்கிலத்தில் உள்ளது?
We should take this video to everyone as possible... people might feel uncomfortable with this, no issues first step to change is realisation of where we are and how we are...let us make changes together, will turn this to an movement 🖤💫
The flow of this documentary literally gave me goosebumps, though I may differ in perspective. From 1980’s to now , what a derogatory change in the portrayal of women in cinema!And we say India is a “developing” nation. I have never seen any other industry which is so ashamed of its own women .I am sure even the audience needs to be blamed for this to a large extent.
Great work … Need of the hour 👍👍 கண்டிப்பாக முன்னெடுத்து வைக்க வேண்டிய தலைப்பு இது. நிறப்பேதம் எல்லா இடங்களிலும் உள்ளன. ஆனால் அதனை மாற்ற நாம் எல்லோரும் முயற்சிக்க வேண்டும். இன்னும் அந்த “அங்கவை சங்கவை பொங்க வை “ எனும் வசன வரிகளின் தாக்கம் எத்தனை மனதினை புண்படுத்தி இருக்கும் என யோசித்து பார்த்தாலே தெரியும்…. இன்னும் நாம் நகரவே இல்லை என்பது தான் வேதனையான விசயம்… மன உளைச்சல், depression, feeling inferior என மன நலம் பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்தும் நிலை… மாற்றம் நம்மிடம் இருந்து வர வேண்டும். இது போல் வரும் documentary - நிறப்பேதத்தில் நல் மாற்றம் கொண்டு வரும் என்ற நம்பிக்கையுடன்..👍
this is not talked about enough, thank you shining light upon this internalised racism/colourism rooted deep in the hearts of the tamil people and tamil society as a whole
Back to back truth of Tamil cinema.. mindset of people and the directors needs to accept these facts . When a dark skinned makeup less heroine was cast in the movie “Chitha” , the reactions of people , the questions of reporters showed how shameless the society is to accept watching a normal looking woman who is gorgeous as beautiful. The definition of beauty was cruel .
Thank you for putting a spotlight on this issue. I hope we as consumers will change our perceptions and watch movies consciously and more social awareness!
We always thrive for what we don’t have. Colour has more impact. If a white man is called as white he is not offended If a black man is called as black he is offended he begs him not to offend him. Colour dose not matter it is the perspective. 👍
the intention behind calling some white or black should also be considered at this point. When we call someone white, seldom it is derogatory.. but the case ain't same for calling someone black. you can't accuse people of getting offended when they have faced oppression in many forms for things which aren't in their control. so yeah, more than perspective, I think people should be more accepting of others
i am 18 now . i've seen so many people commenting on black as ill not just in movies but in real life too . And when they potray women as fair in cinema it gives a mindset to people as fair is beauty and dark is ugly which basically reflects in normal lifestyle on people. now a days potraying a women in dark skin has became a pride as showing that they does not show inferiority complexes but only few films do that and feel proud of it , but it should be us there acting in it dark and dusky . i hope people come to a proper mindset and the potrayal of colourism ends in cinema. Great documentary 💕
Got back here to check its reach 😊sure it will explode .. just a matter of time .. many things in this hit me hard .. want to listen to it again and again .. first time a documentary is giving me goosebumps
Neelam production's movie Bluestar also had this problem. Actors had to put on a dark skin make up When you can actually cast Dark skin actors. Hope this Colourism/ Racism fades away from our Kollywood industry in upcoming years.
It is a good effort by the team to bring this issue in the visual media. Though it is not easy to change the mindset of Indians on color prejudice , this type of videos will open up discussions on this issue and may change people's mindset in future.
God, it's high time this issue is spoken about. When a European or a Sindhi is considered a Tamizh Ponnu and the hero's love interest, you know that the movies are sending a very toxic message to young South Indians. Conditioning their minds against seeing dark skin as beautiful. Luckily Malayalam cinema doesn't have this problem but Kannada and Telegu are the same.
Great work.! Loved everything about it. The only thing that irked me was most of them who spoke about colourism in this video were dusky people. Would have been nice to hear from a fair skinned person how misrepresented dark skinned people are.
An amazing document for the experienced and the aspirational directors. This also provide great awareness for audience regarding to respect the acting irrespective of color
So true! This documentary made me self aware about this matter, I'm dark; by the extrapolating this issue, I think I have been discriminated somewhere somehow without even me feeling it. That's not ok, we should take pride of our birth and voice agaist exploitation against colourism (Racism).
Someone very rightly pointed out, in 70s and 80s there were actual actresses who demanded the role/script for the movies they take on, and not just because of their looks. There is dearth of good scripts for females, be it lead or supporting roles, instead of being subject to needing rescue by the hero or just being there for song and dance.
Best wishes to the mind that chose to address this and to all who worked in it. The root of the issue is a lot more deep and cannot be merely confined to colonialism. Yet this needs to be widely seen. Congrats 🎉
Hi. Paro here, director of the documentary. I definitely do agree that there are many more cultural factors influencing colourism. However, this is a more niche topic about colourism WITHIN the film industry. The start of cinema in our country MAY have been influenced by western norms, of that time. We have mentioned it solely as a factor. While colourism itself cannot be solely blamed on colonialism, colonialism had a lot to do with colourism IN cinema. This documentary was made as a students’ project with a humble intention of starting a conversation, like we are having now! I really do hope future discourse deals with the topic more in depth! And thank you so much for watching the documentary and sharing your opinion.

i am 18 now . i've seen so many people commenting on black as ill not just in movies but in real life too . And when they potray women as fair in cinema it gives a mindset to people as fair is beauty and dark is ugly which basically reflects in normal lifestyle on people.
now a days potraying a women in dark skin has became a pride as showing that they does not show inferiority complexes but only few films do that and feel proud of it , but it should be us there acting in it dark and dusky .
i hope people come to a proper mindset and the potrayal of colourism ends in cinema.

While Neelam has produced this, I hope Ranjith also starts casting non-fair women actors as leads. He has been guilty himself multiple times.
God, it's high time this issue is spoken about. When a European or a Sindhi is considered a Tamizh Ponnu and the hero's love interest, you know that the movies are sending a very toxic message to young South Indians. Conditioning their minds against seeing dark skin as beautiful.
Luckily Malayalam cinema doesn't have this problem but Kannada and Telegu are the same.
Greetings from Malaysia! This documentary is very inspiring. It's an eye-opener for everyone.
Great work.! Loved everything about it. The only thing that irked me was most of them who spoke about colourism in this video were dusky people. Would have been nice to hear from a fair skinned person how misrepresented dark skinned people are.
great initiative! thought provoking...
An amazing document for the experienced and the aspirational directors. This also provide great awareness for audience regarding to respect the acting irrespective of color
Whitening commercials have always been a indirect criticism!
So true! This documentary made me self aware about this matter, I'm dark; by the extrapolating this issue, I think I have been discriminated somewhere somehow without even me feeling it. That's not ok, we should take pride of our birth and voice agaist exploitation against colourism (Racism).
Someone very rightly pointed out, in 70s and 80s there were actual actresses who demanded the role/script for the movies they take on, and not just because of their looks. There is dearth of good scripts for females, be it lead or supporting roles, instead of being subject to needing rescue by the hero or just being there for song and dance.
true a pertinent topic for this generation
Best wishes to the mind that chose to address this and to all who worked in it. The root of the issue is a lot more deep and cannot be merely confined to colonialism. Yet this needs to be widely seen. Congrats 🎉
Hi. Paro here, director of the documentary. I definitely do agree that there are many more cultural factors influencing colourism. However, this is a more niche topic about colourism WITHIN the film industry. The start of cinema in our country MAY have been influenced by western norms, of that time. We have mentioned it solely as a factor. While colourism itself cannot be solely blamed on colonialism, colonialism had a lot to do with colourism IN cinema.
This documentary was made as a students’ project with a humble intention of starting a conversation, like we are having now! I really do hope future discourse deals with the topic more in depth! And thank you so much for watching the documentary and sharing your opinion.
Somebody finally voiced it out
Great work, much needed docu, very powerful!
