celluloid Swayamvaram

I won the corresponding subsidization for my eldest celluloid Swayamvaram in 1972," points out Adoor. Since then he has won the soul makings for the Unexcelled Administrator for Mukhamukham, Anantaram and Mathilukal and was also honoured with the Pater Saheb Phalke Award in 2004. New, he won the Utter laurels for Primo Supervisor for his latest celluloid Oru Pennum Randaanum. Naalu Pennungal, supported on quartet squab stories backhand by Thakazhy Sivashankara Pillai, narrates the lie of four women from contrary socio-economic strata who defeat societal and patriarchic norms to untaped their lives on their own terms. Without vociferous speeches or sloganeering, the head characters in the cardinal stories - a sex miss, a rustic, a wife and a maker - burst hereditary and societal fetters to empower themselves through their choices. It was a Doordarshan offering that prefabricated Adoor love a overbold countenance at Thakazhy's stories.
