Mohanlal’s latest film *Hridayapoorvam* has come under criticism from the medical community, with Dr. Haris Chirackal, head of the urology department at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, expressing concerns about the movie’s portrayal of organ transplantation.
### Concerns Over Post-Transplant Care Portrayal
Dr. Chirackal pointed out that the film fails to accurately depict the critical care required by individuals who have undergone organ transplants. “The picture does not show the care that the person who had the organ transplant should take. Everything is just a joke,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of post-transplant care, explaining that the body is at risk of rejecting the new organ and that patients must be vigilant. “Comedy has no place here,” Dr. Chirackal added, highlighting the vulnerability of transplant recipients to infections from both people and animals. He also stressed the need for transplant patients to avoid accidents and physical altercations to safeguard their health.
### Misrepresentation of the Heart
The doctor also criticized the film’s depiction of the heart, taking issue with its portrayal as an organ with feelings. “The heart is simply an organ that pumps blood,” he clarified. “The scientific awareness of the people and the credibility of cinema is lost by making even science twisted, broken and distorted.”
Despite his criticisms, Dr. Chirackal made it clear that his concerns were limited to the scientific inaccuracies and not a judgment of 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.
