Ozhivudivasathe Kali is a Malayalam drama directed by Sanal Kumar which, after going around for film festivals, got released in theatres in Kerala on 17th June 2016. The film, which gained support from many well-known celebrities of Mollywood, is all set for a release in Chennai today, the 8th of July. Talking to the award winning director about this, here’s what he had to say:
“Initially, I was scared to release the film in theatres since it’s a different kind of movie. The plan in mind was to release it in one or two theatres and decide based on feedbacks. But then, Aashiq Abu, well known Malayalam director, supported me and we were able to release the film in about 25 theatres in Kerala. The film was received well and hence I planned to release it in Chennai.”
“It’s an award film sans commercial elements.Mammootty, Dulquer, Fahad Faasil, and Nivin Pauly came in support of the film, which helped its success in Kerala.” He added, talking about the positive reviews the film garnered.
Notably, the film features a second half that was taken as a single shot without any cuts! “Usually, it's the story and script that keeps changing from film to film. I wanted to change the narrative style.” Says the director, who’s confident the style will catch up in Indian cinema.
