The Movie Aattam

 The other day Indian National Awards for cinema were announced and the Malayalam film Aattam bagged the award for the best movie.

No surprises there, since it is the era of South Indian films. They are getting bigger and finding more space both on the international and national scene.

Also it is no surprise that a Malayali movie should have got the award. I find Malayalam cinema to be among the best, if not the best, in the world. But more about that some other time.

Talking about Aattam. Like many other Malayali movies, this too is a women centric story. Not as much as a movie with a lady being the central character but a story around a lady, but with all the other characters also occupying a lot of screen space.

Enough for now. I am writing after a long break. Will try to find words and articulate what I liked about the movie.
