**What’s the Story?**
Dr. Haris Chirackal, head of the Urology Department at Government Medical College in Thiruvananthapuram, has expressed concerns over the portrayal of organ transplantation in Mohanlal’s latest film, *Hridayapoorvam*. According to Dr. Chirackal, the movie trivializes the seriousness of post-organ transplant care.
“The picture does not show the care that the person who had the organ transplant should take. Everything is just a joke,” he remarked.
**The Importance of Post-Transplant Care**
Dr. Chirackal emphasized the critical need for proper post-transplant care, highlighting the risks associated with the body rejecting the transplanted organ. He pointed out that patients who have undergone organ transplantation are highly vulnerable to infections from people and animals.
“There is no place for comedy here,” he stated firmly. The doctor also noted that transplant recipients should avoid accidents, physical altercations, and other situations that could jeopardize their health.
**Concerns Over the Film’s Portrayal of the Heart**
Additionally, Dr. Chirackal took issue with how the film depicted the heart, challenging the romanticized notion that the heart has “feelings.” He clarified, “The heart is simply an organ that pumps blood.”
He expressed concern that such misrepresentations can undermine scientific awareness among the public and affect the credibility of cinema, stating, “Making science twisted, broken, and distorted does a disservice to viewers.”
**Clarifying His Position**
Despite his criticisms, Dr. Chirackal was quick to clarify that he is not criticizing the film as a whole. “I am not saying bad things about the movie. The movie is good. I pointed out only one disagreement in its content. That’s all,” he said.
