Where are the women of Malayalam Cinema?
Just a few days ago, Bangalore Days director Anjali Menon asked a controversial question, "Where are the women in Malayalam cinema?" She pointed out that recent Malayalam blockbusters like Manjummel Boys, Aavesham, and Bramayugam did not have any important female characters.
However, actors like Kani Kusruti and Divya Prabha have now shown exactly where they belong - on the global stage, bringing pride to Malayalam cinema at Cannes.
All We Imagine as Light is an Indo-French movie set in Mumbai that revolves around the lives of two Malayali nurses who go on a transformative journey to a beach town where they find refuge for their dreams and aspirations.
This movie made history as the first Indian film to compete at the Cannes Film Festival in 30 years and achieved a new milestone by winning the Grand Prix for the first time.
