Malayalam Foundation Cinema Award announced

Mumbai: Mumbai based national NGO Malayalam Foundation’s 2011 cinema award has been won by Aravindan Nelluvai. The NGO started in 2011 working with the main objectives to promote Malayalam language, literature, culture, tradition, education, environment protection and health awareness and connect Malayalis across the world for the overall welfare and benefits of people.

Aravindan Nelluvai

Aravindan Nelluvai was selected as the best director of the children’s film in Malayalam Innalaye Thedi for his debut venture as director. Aravindan has several years of experience in cine-field in different roles. He was associated with veteran writer and director Lohithadas as production executive.

It is a story of an educated and ex-army nomad who in his journey got attached with children. The nomad and 11 children take forth the story written by the director Aravindan himself. Multifaceted veteran actor T.G. Ravi played the lead role in the film together with 11 talented child artistes and experienced artists from Malayalam theatre and film field. The film has been shot in digital format in the outskirts of Thrissur and Vatanapally.

The theme of the story elicits the journey portraying the goodness and an attempt to regain the values missed somewhere in the fast phase of urbanisation and the booming trend of nuclear family concept. The movie beautifully unveils the changes in the rural and urban society in a folk-story telling method aesthetically blended with myths and beauty.

“It’s Malayalam Foundation’s earnest intention to appreciate and recognise hitherto unrecognised Malayali people from different fields in a humble and noble way,” told Sasidharan Nair, Director of Malayalam Foundation.

The Chairman of Award Committee N. Rajasekhan Nair stated that the award together with awards in various streams for literature, poetry, theatre, journalism and book publishing will be given away by Malayalam Foundation in the last week of August in a grand public function to be held at Thrissur in the presence of eminent scholars, writers, poets, journalists and luminaries from film, television and theatre fields.
