Jayaraj Warrier's Take on Kerala Politicians
As mentioned in Part 1, this performance was held three years back and the political scenario has undergone many changes. For eg. the then Chief Minister is now the opposition leader and vice versa. The Ex Chief Minister is now in the Union Cabinet. But, their styles have not changed and you can still enjoy the humour, and all the more if you are able to go back in time by three years.During the show, it appeared as if Mr.Warrier did not want the focus to be shifted from him, hence the oft repeated remarks on camera and its position.
Caricature by Jayraj Warrier Part 2
Jayaraj Warrier continues his journey with Caricature further north thru Kottayam, Alappuzha, Thrissur and ends up at Malappuram.
Caricature by Jayraj Warrier
More than in any other part of India, the art of mimicry is extremely popular in Kerala. This has resulted in the existence of a horde of mimicry artists there and no cultural function is considered complete without their performance. One man stands out from the rest in that he is a specialist in caricature rather than mimicry. His name is Jayaraj Warrier, an immensely talented artiste, also adept at singing, poetry recital and compering. Unlike many others, he does not have to tell who he is imitating, be it from the film world, literature or politics because the audience is immediately able to relate with the character. For eg. close your eyes and listen when he imitates a megastar of Malyalam screen.The performance in these videos was held a few years back and hence, some of the issues may appear to be a little dated, nonetheless, their relevance is not diminished. He talks about the significance of Onam, the national festival of Kerala and takes you on a tour of the state from the southern most district to the northern, highlighting the flavour of each region and introducing famous personalities from these places. At the end of Part 1 , his narration reaches Kollam or Quilon.Hope you enjoy as much as the audience did.
