I think the very core of tradition and the idea of respecting elders’ opinions to the point of blindly following their wishes just to please them are deeply flawed. We have seen how often the younger generation suffers greatly because their parents want them to marry a certain person or pursue a particular career, just so they can boast about their children. This theme is beautifully captured in the Malayalam movie O. Baby, set in a beautiful jungle area around Devil Hill. The story is about a proud landlord who sticks to old traditions, even if it hurts his own family! O. Baby, the chief enforcer of the forest, and his kids suffer because of these outdated customs. The landlord’s granddaughter, Mini, falls in love with O. Baby’s son, Basil. But there’s a big clash between the master and servant families, where politics and pride are more important than the kids’ happiness!
