Lets protest against this immediately. 2001 Subbu, Maapillai, Thanks for your response. Lost esteem is lost. What it appears for me from the basic blunders made is that the members of the Jury neither have any first hand informations nor do they have any careful watch before making these decisions. Individual back-ups seem to have played a crucial role.
Ethical values appear to have lost.
I think we should atleast give it a shout, it might make great waves. Well newspaper has not written anything about IR being ignored for this award, they are just saying that awards might be rigged. Personally I also felt Cinematography was excellent in Bharathi. Again, this was totally ignored by the jury. After that it will easy for us to argue once we have their reasons.
