Cricket & movies: Deadly combo on South Central

Dhanya Rajendran
Hello Thiruvengadam,

Are movies responsible for violence in society? We tackled this age-old question on South Central after Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan linked recent brutal murders to violent films. Filmmaker Don Palathara and social media influencer Aysha Mahmood had strikingly different perspectives.  

What I want to also tell you is not to miss Aysha’s book recommendations at the end—especially if you’re a parent, teacher, or have kids in your life.  

Then, we turned to cricket. Who better than Sharda Ugra to break down hyper-nationalism in the sport and the sheer power of the BCCI? 

Listen to the episode and let me know your thoughts. If you have suggestions on what we should discuss next, I’d love to hear them – write to southcentral@thenewsminute.com.
