The ongoing controversy regarding potholes on the roads in Kerala got another twist, as an advertisement for a latest Malayalam film asked people to come watch it in theatres—despite the said potholes in the roads.
The Malayalam movie ‘Nnna Thaan Case Kodu’ (Then You Go File a Case) advertised asking viewers to come see the film with the catchline ‘Vazhiyil Kuzhiyindu, ennalum vannekkane’ (There are potholes in the road, but still come).
This triggered strong reactions from Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) supporters, who considered it a criticism against the state government over bad roads. The party supporters started a campaign against the film on social media, asking people to boycott it, while another section supported the catchline.
