RESUL POOKUTTY - AN OSCAR AWARD WINNER FROM KERALA FOR SLUM DOG MILLIONNAIRE

Slumdog Millionaire has brought the best out of Kerala-born sound engineer Resul Pookutty.

Besides an Oscar, Pookutty has also won a BAFTA and a Cinema Audio Society (CAS) award for best sound mixing for the film.

But life wasn't always this bright for Pookutty. Hailing from a small village of Vilakkupara in Kerala's Kollam district which didn't have electricity, he studied under a kerosene lamp.

He then went to the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune from where he graduated in 1995.

The sound designer accepted the Oscar along with re-recording mixers Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke.

He made his debut in 1997 in Rajat Kapoor's Private Detective and went on to work in films like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black, Gandhi My Father and Ghajini.

His film credits include Saawariya, Zinda, Musafir and Amu.

He won the Zee Cine award for the best Sound Designer for Musafir while he won critical acclaim for his work in Black and won all the major awards in India.

As per my understanding Kerala is one of the best state in India. They are intelligent and cultured. Their sense of entertainment is very high. Look at their movies. The best Actors, Singers, musicians (I believe, ARR has connection with Kerala) Njanpeed award winners, Olympian, Doctors, Ministers, Army Men the list is very long. A state with full of talented people. If you take the bad side, Mallus are professional in those fields as well. That is natural.

Nothing is easy in Kerala Only Bengal comes next to it.. If you are talking about villagers then it might be true. 100% cultured people cannot be seen any corner of the world.

Lunatic mallu?

[lunatickerala]

People like Resul, Tharoor and others achieve success & fame only after they leave lunatic Kerala. Kerala is a big lunatic asylum as declared by Vivekananda, with barefooted mallus walking half naked in lungis, spitting in public, peeing on walls & honking proudly in their puny match box cars. Stone age tribals still living in coconut jungles & die falling into pot holes. By just reading some alphabets does not make one civilized or literate. Their king Mahabali was a demon.
