Arundhati Roy, in a conversation with actor Parvuruvothu, said the committee report can be interpreted as a men versus women issue. "We are looking at the rate of change and not just criminal accusations," she said. Roy said that although women in Kerala are financially independent and part of the workforce, they are still much less free. In Kerala, women have freedom, but there is a social guilt in having committed a crime," Parvathy said. She added that at least it led to "stink" and there was "noise" in Molly-wood. The silence bothers her more, she added. "There was no conversation or committee being formed and the collective had to keep nagging," she added.

Actor-activist Prakash Raj said the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh was a decisive moment which made him raise his voice louder.

At a session with Dhanya Rajendran, who had political views similar to a friend like Gowri Lankesh, he said that he could not remain silent at that time, but a more powerful voice may emerge.
