Common Cast

Honeymoon is a take on the life of a newlywed couple in the backdrop of a slum. I Love My Appa is a family drama set in the backdrop of a typical Brahmin colony in Kalpathy in Palakkad. Marichavarude Kadal is about the decline of Gandhian principles in the modern era. It flits between past and present, as the tale of an elderly couple wedded to Gandhism is narrated, in the backdrop of sea. The sea, here is a symbol of the watery end of the great ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Amma is a tale of an elderly housewife who yearns for love and attention from her husband and grown up children.
