Don't knw why...its a trend these days to give maximum mouth publicity against a Lal movie.. I agree the quality of his films are also gng down,but when a film is an effort of hundreds behind the scene - their work gets unnoticed when it gets bad mouth publicity by the initial audience who never has the taste of family audience. Sathyan is on the path of Sibi Malayil and Renjith..his scripts are very weak and much of the dialogues are advices.. If he doesn't stop writing and come out of the world of Meera,he will be out soon..One area whr we lost Lal is dialogue delivery..Nobody except Sreenivasan(in Udayan) has utilised his talent recently.
