MollywoodThe young crowd cheering Lucky Singh in the film Monster as he uttered words loaded with sexual innuendos were lapping up ideas that should have been long buried. CrisIn the span of a few minutes, Lucky Singh cracks at least three different “jokes”, rich with double entendre. Mohanlal’s most recent character as a turban-wearing businessman hiring a cab in Kochi hardly has a quiet moment in the film Monster.

Even if you brush aside the poor scripting and filmmaking and annoying characterisations until then, you have to call out the brash,...
