Ritu.

The movie that changed Mollywood. Head to toe. Back in 2009.

Prior to theatrical release, we did three free preview screenings of the movie in three major towns of Kerala. For the film industry and the media. That was exactly the idea. To breathe a fresh dose of excitement into Malayalam cinema. To get the industry refreshed.

Kindly check the Wikipedia list of Malayalam films till 2009. And then look through the lists post 2010.

You'll see what Ritu did to the entire industry—it blew the old traditional art & commercial cinema barriers away. It boldly spoke about what's really going on with Kerala's 'new generation'. The trend then guzzled up the Malayalam cinema, currently, India's most favourite industry.

Of course, there are other wonderful movies I respect that took the wave to bigger heights.

Happy to say that Ritu was born in my writing room.

It all began in my room.

EVERY GENRE HAS ITS LANGUAGE. AND I SPEAK THESE.

SUPERNATURAL MYSTERIES

SMALL BUDGET PERSONAL DRAMAS

INDIAN DIASPORA DRAMAS

THRILLER MYSTERIES

As a long time journalist, I have been helplessly watching the human complexities. So it is natural for me to imagine high-concept premises to serve as vehicles to explore deeper human questions. These genres help me look beneath the emotional fabric to see what's really going on..

ADAPT / REWRITE

As an author of a fantasy thriller novel, a creative non-fiction and a personal philosophy book, I have spent years studying the authorial process. Breaking complex issues into simple text, visualising the context, and colouring up characters as part of localisation come naturally to me.
