    IDSFFK 2026: ‘Aavasam’ captures cultural transformations under pressure of dominant political order (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Even the most perceptive minds might not always notice the slow social and cultural transformations that happen around them. Aavasam (Habitus), a documentary directed by Kiran K.R., a student of the K.R. Narayanan National Institute of Visual Science and Arts, is notable in how it documents such changes. Kiran begins on a personal note, recollecting memories of a small deity placed under a tree near his home in Palakkad district. In the present day, the deity which was solely one family’s wors

    Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar movie review: A taut thriller that rarely has a misstep (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It may be one of cinema’s greatest tricks that it can twist one’s line of thinking on a person or an incident just with the perspective it chooses to present or the framing, editing choices or the background score being used along with it.
