Short Summary

The film premiered at the prestigious 27th Tallinn Black Nights International Film Festival (TBNIFF) in Estonia in November 2023. This marked a significant milestone as it was the first Malayalam film to be officially selected for the festival and the only Indian film to be featured there that year.

Ellanar Films, founded in 2016 by Radhika Lau is one of the few production houses that stand out for their unique portfolio and dedication to storytelling. Their dynamic choice of movies has made waves in the South Indian film industry, particularly in the Telugu cinema space.

They have been busy bringing fresh perspectives to both the big and small screens. From their choice of stories, it’s evident that they believe in the power of stories, especially those that resonate with the heart and soul of the audience. Over the years, they’ve consistently delivered content that is both thought-provoking and entertaining, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with in Tollywood.

A Passion for Powerful Narratives

Take "Adrishya Jalakangal" for instance. This Malayalam feature film, starring the charismatic Tovino Thomas, is an anti-war story and earned critical acclaim for being unequivocally an art-house film.

Versatility in Storytelling

But Ellanar Films isn't just about big-budget productions. They've also got a heart for meaningful storytelling on a smaller scale. Their short film "GIDDH (The Scavenger)" featuring the brilliant Sanjay Mishra, proves that powerful narratives come in all sizes.

Conquering the OTT Space

And let's not forget about their forays into the world of streaming. "Gods of Dharmapuri (GOD)" a Telugu series directed by Anish Kuruvila for Zee5 and "Unheard" a historical drama television series created and directed by Aditya K. V. for Disney+ Hotstar have helped them make their mark in the OTT. These web series showcase their versatility and their understanding of the pulse of what audiences want.
