How a sexual assault case unmasked the Malayalam film industry| Dileep
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- On the night of February 17, 2017, a top female actor in Kerala was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by six hired criminals. Dileep, a superstar actor in Kerala, is alleged to have masterminded the night. The crime initiated in Kerala a Weinstein-scale movement that predated the global #MeToo movement.
In our 11-chapter saga, The News Minute looks at how one night pushed Kerala to the edge, almost to the cusp of a much needed change. Yet, the women did not get the coverage that their counterparts in the West got. Even in India, those outside Kerala knew little about the extent of the rot.
In this conversation, Dhanya Rajendran and Nidhi Suresh talk about what exactly happened, why the case did not get the coverage it deserved, and the process of reporting on this case.

Justice delayed is justice denied. It's horrible to witness what the victim has gone through the procedure of Indian legal system. After 7 years the actress is still fighting.
it is the actress and procecution who were delaying the trial by giving other cases in other courts and asking for more time.. Dileep wants to complete the trial as quickly as possible..
Nov 2019: The trial in the case began, however, it is stopped after the actress approached the High Court seeking a transfer of the trial to another court. It was alleged that the trial court judge was biased throughout the trial. The actress reportedly asked for a woman judge.
Oct 28, 2020: The actress moved Kerala High Court seeking the trial judge to be changed. The actress had alleged that the judge was hostile and biased.
Nov 23, 2020: The Kerala HC rejected the actress's petition. Following this development, Special Public Prosecutor stepped down and criticised trial judge for being biased.
Dec 2, 2020: Kerala government approached Supreme Court requesting the judge to be changed.
Dec 15, 2020: The Supreme Court rejected the Kerala government’s appeal.
Dec 25, 2021: Just when the trial was nearing an end, Dileep's former friend director Balachandra Kumar made several explosive allegations against the actor.
Jan 5, 2022: In light of the recent developments in the case, the Kerala government approached Supreme Court seeking a six-month extension to finish the trial. The trial court asked for the further probe to be completed by January 20.
24 Jan 2022... Supreme court turns down Kerala plea to extend time in Dileep trial completion | Delhi ... - The Supreme Court on Monday turned down Kerala government's plea to extend the time for completion of trial in the actress abduction case.
24 Jan 2022... State playing a 'mischievous game' to delay trial, actor Dileep tells Supreme ... - Accusation against State came even as court refused to entertain plea by Kerala for six-month extension to complete trial.
So, it is the actress and procecution who were delaying the trial by giving other cases in other courts.

@@Tapiridae6031What do you mean the actress is delaying. Obviously by your own statement, the judges were not dependable and she requested an unbiased judge. Read your own story🤦
I cannot anymore watch his movies after that incident .How could anyone act with him after that?
Tammannah also acted with him, lost all respect with her
@@ashikak4364urvashi also acted with him then parvathy thiruvothu acted with urvashi.
@@Universal5-g5e That doesn't make sense.
Yeah, I hate all the actors, actresses and politicians that are mingling with him including Tammannah
I stopped watching his movies
Hat of to the journalists who still following this case👍
Every body is following the case , they are keeping Mum with patience to hear the verdict which say Dileep is Guilty.
Only dileep want to complete the trail as soon as possible, oppenet want to redirect the issue, that shows who is guilty
I work in the industry and I am very much aware of the whitewashing and pr stunt going on to save dileep's face. Infact I know some of the people who runs dileep's PR.
And there's no way you or any other bot is gonna change the narrative.
He fucked up real bad.
@@akhilkumar702
@observer4039 Clearly, not everybody! In fact, ever since, more & more talks, storylines and spoofs are created to insinuate how damaging & destructive it is to men when women 'falsely level' such accusations against them. Not to mention the large audience of female sycophants themselves who'd rather throw the victims under the bus than say anything against the perps and pervs they literally worship!
Lol
Used to be a big fan of Dileep, being a 90s kid. Such a shame to see he would want to do something like this. What's more shameful is all the big stars' silence!
Still malayalam industry believes that Dileep is not accused in this case. He is been invited in all celebrities marriage justifying the fact they support him in this heinous crime as long as their family is safe,they care a shit.
@@deepamanikantan5849 fucked up society.. similar situation in other film industries too in India

@@vrishalisonar453 not surprised at all. Which is why Parvathi and other actresses had to get together.

That's a big loss for dileep

@@draparnavs INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!
The Dileep case has left Malayalees deeply divided, but one thing is clear: we all stand firmly with the survivor. As deeply emotional and intelligent people, Malayalees demand justice and express frustration over the legal delays and perceived manipulations. Many believe that Dileep is using his influence in the film industry to tamper with evidence and intimidate witnesses. Despite the complexities and challenges of the case, the unwavering support for the survivor reflects our broader societal concern for justice and integrity in the judicial process.
Malayalees never stand with women. Its just a fact. Seen so much slutshaming against women in kerala. Shit state. Why all the women in your state is fleeing.
Why do you present the extremely archaic, adversely judgmental and bitterly envious Malayalee people as intelligent & emotional people who according to you are collectively demanding justice on the matter? It is obvious you don't really move amidst them unless, of course, you are just as hypocritical as the rest of them. It would do you well to know that not everyone is fooled by the appearances Malayalees pretend to keep.
Why generalise a case into the "whole of the malayalam film industry"?
And why no reference to the political backing by BJP - the party that protects all criminals including sexual predators like Dileep?
Stopped watching this cheap actors movies after knowing the truth..also showed how spineless are the malayalam actors who still associate with this cheap person
Never occurred to you that you may want to go through the details of the case instead of blindly accusing everyone?
Who are those actors? Superstars! or many of them i can say one thing hema commission will mark the end of masses but the industry will runs not with my favourites so what you said do it while i will do my on side!
Most of the guys supporting him are his benamis
@@AseenaArifaI say Hema commission should do a study in every walk of life including politics and where women are in power and reveal all the crazy things. You’ll have a field day then.
@@mannyk115 Mark my words Hema Commission will not destroy their lives even the Industry as you know this Industry is small but those peoples have not speaken anything Big Film Industries, this is just as small industry not so big like another industries so if it happens the whole Malayalam industry will fight for it and prevents it.
Dileep is a criminal and should be punished

Well done
Awesome! By the way same here
I stopped watching his movies after I heard his news
This case have actually divided the Malayalam industry pre and post, that’s the main reason for the new era of the Malayalam movies today, whether the industry accepts it or not, really appreciate the efforts of The News Minute.
Feeling the same
Agreed…. Last week I discussed the same with my cousin
Really curious as to why you think so. How do you think the industry changed?
@@jxy_krishnan because until this case he was controlling the film industry here, considering his role in the producers association, distribution etc, there was a caucus which was disturbed. The we had the Covid period, but this caucus couldn’t regain the power after Covid because the industry started moving into a different direction by then, and hats off to the viewers for understanding and accepting the real Malayalam movies now, they don’t indulge slap stick comedies anymore..
@@feminaveen4100there is no 'dileep kind of comedy' now because the taste of the audience has shifted post covid and otts etc. But that hardly speaks to the plight of women in the industry. in fact they are even more sidelined now. Just old wine in a new bottle.
Never liked Dileep and I'm proud of it 😂❤
Same
Typical example of Mallu bias justification.
When someone(especially Malayalis) have an irrational unexplainable hatred of someone, they tend to intensely find something remotely related to that person, to justify their hatred.
@@SabarjeetSingh2I think you just had a brain fart.
@@vinodriosis3709 No. You
me too. dileep and the other short muppet, Kunchacko Boban
Used to be a huge fan. Now I can’t even watch his songs on RUclips. People argue that his movies are an effort of so many people but I can’t agree to that argument and will continue to boycott his films. It’s such a shame and I have been thinking about this for years at this point about how all the women who supported or spoke up are ignored including amazing actors like Parvathy thiruvoth. I hate to admit or say this but is a reflection of the patriarchy and misogyny predominant in Malayalam film industry. This phenomenon is there in other southern industries too but this prevailing in an industry that has boasted of intelligent movies and audience, is hard to digest. FYI I am a malayali.
Exactly. that progressive posturing in spite of the truth is the worst thing about this.
And it's ceaZy with so many incredible female actresses Malayalam had over last 50 years with so many powerful female characters, perhaps even more then Bollywood, yet are women still sidelined?
Very admirable comment!
It shows that communist govt is no better than bjp govt.
@S.mzkacb No politician is better than the other, except a few. Politicians are the parasites of society, no matter the country. They are sucking the blood of society while enriching themselves on public funds.
I too did investigative journalism in this case for 5 years.
Dileep is like mafia don of kerala. Miss 2020 movie was not done for free. He used all his ex wife's money rest is history. That was a tribute to thilkan sir as retirement gift. Dileep is in pimping business, hotel bussiness, imported car bussiness, transportation bussiness, multiplex bussiness restaurant bussiness, shame on dileep whole justice system was bought , for 500cr He is very very close partner to Hotel 18 pub ceo in cochin. Drugs is a main course
Who made him that way though? He came with nothing in 90s to Malayalam movie.
@vijayakrishnang646 sir what I have said is deadly truth.....
@vijayakrishnang646 are you in 1970 s kerala @@@@@🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What evidence do you have?
@@roshinjohnson7725 reporters no need to prove brother. We are liable to courts
His karma will catch him soon ....
And it will hit Dileep where its going to hurt him the most...
I know where 😂
Hope so
Pray so
God's not corrupted and will give it all back
💪💪
It's disheartening to hear that such a heinous crime and the subsequent movement didn't receive the same level of attention as other high-profile cases like the Weinstein scandal. This unfortunately reflects a broader problem of gender inequality and systemic sexism that continues to plague society. 😢
The fact that the case was underreported is a serious issue that deserves more scrutiny.
Blame the entertainment industry
It is a shame that there are people who will still work with him to create new movies and what is more shameful is that there is a significant audience who will watch his movies. He continues to release movies acting as a leading man even today.
Yes, because he's innocent until proven guilty. How can we jump the process?
@@--..--.-. He has been proven guilty by all the evidence provided. He has been using his clout to manipulate the system and delay justice- it ia very clear with all the information made public by the police and news agencies.
Inspite of him acting more and more movies and sadly none of his movies creating box office success or atleast running to cover the costs for the producers!!!
@@--..--.-.paid bots go to hell
The best example of the systoms corrupted!!
Malayalam industry saving dileep, Dileep must be punished.
We stand with Philippines. Free Dileep. Justice for Joe biden. SSR lives matter.
💯 👍
It's been 6 or 7 years and they couldn't find a single evidence that proves dileep to be guilty.
It's been 6 or 7 years and they couldn't find a single evidence to prove him guilty. I think he's innocent.
@@Universal5-g5e he didn't prove not guilty either,yes the systome corrupted
It's not just the psycho dileep. It's all the superstars of malayalam cinema who kept quiet and supported him. Really pathetic to read the state of cinema and the joke of a judicial system.
John Vijay is mayilvahanam in real-life according to the actor.
I am also fan of dileep. But when he divorced his wife (manju warrior) and married to rumored girlfriend kavya i started to hate him. In an old interview kavya said that dileep is like my father figure and manju chechiii is like my elder sister. Dileep and kavya denied these gossips by saying that they have no relationship between them.
When his first wife (manju warrior) Devorced dileep after come out of the court her eyes full of tears . Dileep and manju warrior marriage is a love marriage and manju warrior"s family against this marriage. She sacrifice 14years she leaves her acting carrier at the peak time,dance her passion every think she leaves for him. If kavya don't interfere there married life(dileep, manju) or don't marring dileep. The actress (victim) should not face this cruelty.
Let's not blame just the woman,shall we.kavya did not make any promise.but the fault lies with the husband who promised loyalty to his wife
@@athira1646 true a husband should loyal to her wife. If husband show disloyal he should face the negativity.
Kavya have a close relationship between manju and dileep. When you watch kavya's old interview you see that. Most importantly before marriage dileep and kavya knows as best on screen couple . I am also fan of this on screen couple. They worked together 19,20 movies as a hero and heroine. When dileep and kavya wedding , dileep invited entire media to prove that there marriage is naturally happened. In this case (actress case ) there is a person involved in this crime termed as "medam".
So true
@@Maria-ul6ql this item manju was not good enough. So dileep dumped her and took a better piece. No use weeping honey
@@ZZZZ_RENJITH woman is not any type of toy or any item. You himself showing the character of dileep through your comment.
Hope she gets justice…I can’t watch his movies anymore neither can I go and eat at his restaurant 😡

Well, Hema commission report is here, Comrade Pinarayi Vijayan is showing no interest in making the report public. Looks like releasing Hema commission report might land ettan and ikka into trouble it seems.
Dileep must have given roles for akil marar 😂
I have stopped watching his movies. We can still see some paid comments where some heartless faceless ruthless comments that it is still not proved whether such a harrasment has taken place or like its a conspiracy to bring that actor down. But whoever followed the case from the beginning has clearly understood that he is the culprit. The way he manipulated the judiciary, the Malayalam film industry through every possible way and the way he tampered the evidence (even which was in "safe" custody) through hook and crook. The way his paid PR team harassed n tortured the actress and whoever stood for her and justice. The way there was no cctv of that particular day in Lakshya n the register missing and then burning down Lakshya, the judge giving verdicts in favour of him, a retired ips officer giving spl privileges for him even when he was in jail. The witnesses, the audio recordings everything evidently shows that he is the masterbrain behind this unbelievably ruthless crime!!!
HC judge?? Unbelievable. What does the SC have to say about such judges?
This is precisely why I don't agree with the idea of referring to victims as 'survivors'. It's up to the victim to decide if she has survived it or not . We shouldn't pressure victims to present themselves as survivors so that the rest of us feel less uncomfortable about these crimes. If the things that are said about this actress even now are anything to go by, the smear campaign against her in which even senior lawyers were involved; she can't have survived it. She's gaslit and sl_ shamed every day. Secondly victimhood and survivorhood aren't mutually exclusive. Even if you have somehow managed to get past the trauma of such an act of assault ; the likelihood of which is way too low,you're still a victim. A crime was committed against you. Being a victim should not be something to be ashamed of ; something that generates pity. It's NOT easy to be a victim and to continue to live with the trauma ;-it takes a hell lot of bravery.
Very well put.
For me, this is a new perspective. Thank you for sharing your view.
What a perspective! Well said.
@@resmir9237 traamaaa traamaaa. Daily traamaaa
Very true
I used to be a BIG fan of Dileep! Being a Malayalee born and lived outside of Kerala, I did not watch many Malayalam films, but I used to watch Dileep's films.
I lost respect for him when he got remarried (specially because of the reason he gave for the remarriage). But after this case, I stopped watching any of his films. No more respect for that man and his current wife, Kavya Madahavan (the 2nd wife).
It is heartening to see that you are not allowing this to die down (like it happens in Bollywood). Also, delighted to see some firebrand journalism. Sorry, but haven't seen many journalists with spine in recent times.
A quality interview in terms of how the topic is dealt with. Both exude a level of content and linguistic erudition that is refreshing to hear. "A sense of impunity" summarizes the case for me.
Dileep is the culprit. Shameless keralites shield him!!! Horrible
If a group of goons do what was done to Bhavna to Dileep's daughter, then he will feel the pain. Same goes for his cohorts like Nadirsha & Siddique who were openly supporting him, and Mammootty who was covertly supporting. What if this happened to any of their daughters? Would they feel so charitable towards the perpetrator then? Shame on all of them, they don't deserve respect.
The power of the pen of journalism when it cuts through prejudice, biases, fear of being boxed and framed, corruption. Hats off 🎉❤
Kudos to Newslaundary and News minute for re-narrating this story. Not the pettan fans association committee commenting here saying how innocent he is. Of course, he is so innocent that he can literally afford a lawyer and make his own brother say that how his first wife was a drunkard. And he is so innocent that he married an actress to show off what kind of a big person he is to accept a person whose life is ruined because of him in front of media (I remember how much media coverage happened for his wedding with another actress). Just because that court proving a person is innocent or not is the reason why you are siding him then remember this case also where one teenager literally killed two people in a bike with his sports car and how the teenager escaped the punishment. That’s what he is capable of, twisting the narrative and making himself look so innocent as if nothing happened.
Fantastic programme. Welcome back Nidhi. We missed your journalism
Hope you start where Nikesh kumar stopped. And hoping he’s not stopped.

This is one of the best journalistic pieces I have read in a long time. I was lazing on renewing my TNM and NL subscription but did so when paywall came in while reading the piece.
Thank you Dhanya rajendran and nidhi Suresh and all the people from News Minute to cover this case ❤
This shows how a rich guy can get away with any crime in India. Indian Justice system does not work most of the time.
Thanks!
Like seriously?
Excellent all ladies who supported her including her are acting in other languages. All men support dileep in malayalam film industry. Thanks for taking this topic
No offense to wcc, but there is no icc in 99% of movies being shot even rn, in spite of there being a law. A friend who's been part of 50+ movies since 2017 has seen the icc in only one movie set. The actual fallout has been that films employ even less women now, save for tokenism. This had been in conversation earlier this year when it was seen that most hit mal movies didn't even have heroines.
On the other hand are actors like srijith ravi who was booked, TWICE, for child SA but are still increasingly cast in movies, including those with children. The rot runs deep. It's as if the pervs work hard to ensure that only enablers and abusers form the majority in the industry.
It is probably reflective of the malayalee society itself.
The irony is to see biggies from other industries praise the malayalam industry and society as some kind of progressive heaven that could do no wrong. If only they keenly watched news from Kerala instead of just movies.
True.but the thing about icc is that,even if they are not there in practice,the aggrieved woman can file a court case saying there is no icc which can then pull up the producer for the laxity...
@@athira1646 but how practical is that recourse considering the level of gate keeping in the industry? We have already seen how most wcc members have lost out on their careers for raising this issue. But, the industry has matched on relentless. Now touted to be the best in the country!
Not to be a pessimist; just articulating the complexity of the issue at hand.
Has wcc helped any woman? It's a useless movement.
@@Universal5-g5e oho! then why don't you take on the onus and show them how it's done?
If movements like wcc are not working then it's precisely your kind of attitude towards women that's stopping them.
@@aswathydreadful7848 WCC girls and their smelly careers lol 😂
Kudos to the journalists. Our society really needs to understand sexual harassment at work and support the survivors
He is raising two daughters. If he did what we think he did, it will come back to him. Respect to all the people who stood by the victim. I never watch his movies or his current wife’s movies. They both are clearly unscrupulous individuals who are part of the Malayalam film industry. And the interesting part is that karma has given them daughters. As a woman, I wish that karma forbid any assault happen to any woman or girl child but then who can stop karma.

Elitism in Malayalam industry need to be evaluated. Most of these actors hide behind the false veil of “humbleness” or “down to earth ness” which the general public just swallows without a second thought. This applies to all the major players too.

Those days tv channels were more entertaining than anything. Miss those days.
Well presented and really appreciate your courage and effort .
Already malayalee viewers knows many things and it is definitely sad that justice seems decades away and like said the court verdicts seem bizarre. With the survivor, kudos for standing up and taking that first step. @newslaundry hope this effort goes noticed and not in vein like many other efforts.. power and its clout seems to put this case aside always.

This is journalism ❤
One of the causes of the misogyny is the way women are portrayed in cinema. If we can correct this , it will certainly help eradicating this social evil.
Nothing has changed the crappy men in the industry🤢...ppl like vijay babu are still roaming scot free😖
1... Kerala High Court granted anticipatory bail to the cine artist and producer Vijay Babu... In the backdrop of above, the Court called for the case diary and made the following observations:..
The survivor was aware that the applicant was a married man. Therefore, the applicant being involved in a subsisting marriage, there was no possibility of a legal marriage with the survivor....
During the period from 16-03-2022 till 14-04-2022, the survivor was not under any form of confinement...
The applicant and the survivor have been communicating with each other through WhatsApp and Instagram consistently and in plenty and the available messages (from 31-03-2022 to 17-04-2022) conveyed an intense relationship between them; further those communications did not refer to any instances of sexual assault.
While the applicant deleted the messages from 16-03-2022 till 30-03-2022 from his phones, the survivor also deleted all messages between them, for the entire period in question.
Applicant had already been questioned for 38 hours and he had handed over his mobile phones to the investigating officer.
When the other actress had been chosen as a heroine, which came to the knowledge of the survivor after 15-04-2022 and she shouted at the applicant on 17-04-2022...
2... Supreme Court refused to cancel the anticipatory bail granted by the Kerala High Court to Malayalam actor Vijay Babu.... The supreme court bench said that police can very well retrieve those messages and moreover it appears that the victim has also deleted those messages, which shows some kind of understanding between them.. However, on the issue of tampering evidence, the Bench was of the view that since the Police has his mobile, they can retrieve it. It added, "Both (Vijay Babu and the victim) had deleted the messages so there was some mutual understanding."..
Advocate then argued that in the instant case, Presumption as to absence of consent in prosecutions for rape under Section 114A of the Indian Evidence Act would apply.
Expressing its disagreement, the Bench asked,... "Can there be presumption when there is admitted intimate relationship and promise to marry, where the respondent was already a married man and he was not even free to marry?"...
Good Journalism must survive.
After knowing about the heinous crime - i dont even go to eat at his restaurant in Kochi nor see any of his films, be it even old movie clips.

Didnt she have another channel to go to . Barkha dust's channel has NO credibility
Majour chunk of kerala has forgetten about the case/the superstar is accused and still worshiping him.He is getting collbs and new films,him as starring.Educated people,yet not ready for correcting their mistakes.If it was common man as accused,will he be treated same?will he be going to work as if nothing happened?Double standards, hypocrisy...I dunno what other...But gland atleast some has brains and stand strongly with the right decision.💪
❤❤❤❤❤Bold women. Such an amazing interview ❤❤❤❤❤
What happened to balachandrakumar? None is talking about him, poor guy almost sacrificed his life. This was bound to happen
Each and every single time any dileep movies came out nowadays only one face flash front of me ‘ Bhavna’😢 How come the total industry and people around not even bother to ‘block’ this man from roaming around without any shame on his face🤦♀️
Today, it has come into light that Dileep is the leader of power group in Malayalam movie industry
This is good journalism. We support you
Just want to say what an insightful coverage , thank you for tagging the original article too. Kudos to your work and life !
I read the article. It was well written.
There was one thing which you should have clarified in this video (which is mentioned in the article) that the assault victim said that it was Dileep's wife who approached her and asked her about what happened in her presence between Dileep and the actress with whom he was allegedly having an affair. It was not that she approached the wife to break up his marriage.
I felt like after this incident, many things happened in the Malayalam film industry
Thank you for working on this and bringing awareness. This must've been incredibly difficult, but Kudos to your perseverance. I'm sure this will be a big milestone in creating safe places for our women. More power to you!!
Dont use someones photo just for TRPs ... that actor is just an accused .. the case is still in court .. journalism is not the right to do whatever someone likes
Well done 👍
Dileep is the Salman Khan of Malayalam cinema industry...
Brilliant interview👌Well done Dhanya and Nidhi 👍
Excellent interview!! Thanks for creating awareness and protecting our sisters ❤️ 🕊⚘️
Not only Malayalam industry, it's about all the other industries..
Dileep...what an actor in real life.
Great effort on the article really appreciating your work
I still remember asif ali said openly we should not work with dileep and after sometime he said i didn't intend what i meant . Why no one saying against him now still not able to understand
Good Job❤
Brave attempt. Really proud
For your dedication in bringing real stories to us!
She is not victim, she is surviver.
Please make this as a series
Just like Darshan in Kannada film industry
Obviously like many others i stopped watching any of his movies. I merely loathe the sight of him even in YT shorts if i come across. I dont feel pitty on the Victim.. Am so proud of her for fighting her battles.
It's irks me that such a vital movement was called Weinstein movement
Good Journalism, too good job
Aashiq abu name on women empowerment is like 😂😂 something which remind me of the story of fox and goat 🐐 fights ..
Sure....please keep up the spirit. I hope you will be a beacon of hope for so many who have lost hope in Judiciary and being constantly harassed in the society.
Who is the guy that misbehaved with Nidhi? The guy should be exposed, in my opinion. Thanks to the constant media attention and awareness around the case created, Dilip's acting career is now as good as over.
Thank God ... All English comments 🙏
@the news minute Good story but you didn't mention anything about the setbacks and the current status of the trial in the courts
Massive respect for Nidhi Suresh. More power to you!
Thankyou for ur hardwork journos!!
