喀拉拉邦电影奖选择被控强奸和其他罪行的饶舌歌手Vedan为“Kuthanthram”最佳歌词家, The Kerala State Film Awards' selection of rapper Vedan, accused of rape and other crimes, as Best Lyricist for "Kuthanthram" from *Manjummel Boys* has triggered widespread criticism. 尽管10月就一名医生性攻击的指控和2021年先前的指控提出了指控表,但该奖项仍被活动家、艺术家和公众人物谴责,认为是对正义和妇女安全的背叛。 Despite a chargesheet filed in October over allegations of sexual assault by a doctor, and prior accusations from 2021, the award has been condemned by activists, artists, and public figures as a betrayal of justice and women’s safety. 批评者认为,承认面临严重刑事指控的个人会损害公众的信任,特别是考虑到该奖项的公共资金以及歌曲的主题与女性的痛苦有关。 Critics argue the recognition of an individual facing serious criminal charges undermines public trust, especially given the award’s public funding and the song’s themes tied to female suffering. 由Prakash Raj担任主席的陪审团没有作出答复。 The jury, chaired by Prakash Raj, has not responded.
