‘Cinema limits freedom of viewers’: poet Rajanbabu

MALAPPURAM, Kerala: Cinema as a medium never gives its viewers as much freedom of imagination and interpretation as a literary work gives its readers. Rather than allowing the viewer to interpret according to his or her imagination, cinema limits the meaning to what its director sees or wants to convey, said poet Manamboor Rajanbabu, summing up an open forum held as part of the Rasmi International Film Festival here on Sunday.
