Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Bijukumar's 'nameless' trilogy uses absence of identity to critique Kerala's progressive self-image, exposing how even 'developed' states erase their lowest castes.

Memorable

Suraj Venjaramoodu won National Award for Perariyathavar (2013), then disappeared into this equally brilliant but barely-seen role—proving commercial success was never his metric.
