Malayalam film ‘Jananam 1947, Pranayam Thudarunnu,’ directed by Abhijit Asokan, is a heartwarming story of love in the sunset years
The HinduAmidst the long queues and crowds at IFFK, filmmaker Abhijit Asokan organised a screening of his film, Jananam 1947, Pranayam Thudarunnu at the Kerala Film Market Viewing Room with a select audience of 25 viewers. Featuring Jayaraj Kozhikode and Leela Samson in the lead roles of Sivan and Gowri, the movie does not deviate from their story even as it throws light on social mores and attitudes of contemporary Kerala. Abhijit, scenarist of Kolumittayi, which won the Kerala State Film Award for the best children’s film, says he was keen on casting Leela Samson as “there is an innate elegance in her”. Saying he was inspired by MT Vasudevan Nair’s Oru Cheru Punchiri, he says the senior romance underlines that in the autumn years, the yearning for companionship erases social and economic constructs.
