Ennu Swantham–Sreedharan: a Kerala story of a Muslim woman who raised three Hindu children

The Hindu  

Even as the film struggles of get distributers in India, people from all walks of life gathered at the screening of Ennu Swantham–Sreedharan that was held at Delhi’s Jawahar Bhawan on Friday. Directed by Siddik Paravoor, the 90-minute film is the real-life tale of a Muslim woman, Zubeidaa, who brings up the three children of her domestic help — a Hindu — after her sudden demise. The story went viral in 2019 when Mr. Sreedharan mourned through a FB post the death of his Umma Zubeidaa, stating that this indeed was the reality of Kerala’s generations of “religious and human” harmony. I feel sad that there are no takers for the ‘real Kerala story’ which talks about human emotions, unity and love,” Mr. Paravoor said. The film was screened in collaboration with Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust and Janasamskriti whose representatives told the audience that this is a film that is “beyond propaganda and shows the reality of India”.
