I have always wondered why no-one from India makes movies like 'Children of heaven'/'Color of paradise'/'Baran'..in short I always longed to see an India director doing movies very much like that of Majidi Majidi..I am so glad, I finally found one in the form of Salim Ahamed, a débutant director from Kerala. Without revealing the story much, the movie is all about old couple, whose last wish is to go to Hajj and what happens in the process..story telling is very profound and heavenly with some outstanding background score and cinematography.

Anyone with real taste in movies should not miss this precious jewel. No wonder why it is an Oscar nominee from India this year.

Malayalam cinema, based in Kerala, is known for its grounded narratives, literary screenplays, and strong character-driven storytelling.The industry is celebrated for innovatively blending realism with bold, socially conscious themes.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
