A short Malayalam film based on Wikipedia was internet released recently.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIWKKMp5HSU
The film is also named "Wikipedia " and is dedicated to "Wikipedians".
The short film is directed by Joshi Koottungal.
The film talks about the dependency of internet & Wikipedia for anything and everything. It depicts the life of a writer named C.K. on changing times of reading and getting knowledge behaviors.
I think, the English subtitle is not really complete and some of the dialogues are missing.
The film has a bit of anti-climax which may be mistaken as real by some audience :)

Nice film. Enjoyed it. Use of Malayalam wiki in the screen would have
helped in getting the message of indic language wikimedias,
Cheers Arjun
Hey, Does anyone knows the director or reach him? Is he a Wikipedian ?
He might like to change is the opening subtitles. It says the short is dedicated to Wikipedians and "they would literally be nonexistent without Wikipedia." But most likely he meant the other way around.
Another one is that he may show a small disclaimer that Wikipedia will continue for free and will not be blocked.
Could have got these things changed,if we could reach him.
Anyone?

Just saw and enjoyed. He may have meant it as said though...I was confused
too, but it seems to be in keeping with the storyline. Anyway, the director's cell number was on YouTube: 09895682800 (Joshi Koottungal).
Thanks for posting! Bishakha
