I hope the film does justice to its theme of identity and belonging. So many movies make big promises but end up being commercial masala. But KVN Productions usually backs quality content. Let's see if this one lives up to the Cannes screening hype.

Great that it's releasing in 5 languages! Hindi audiences need more good content from South Indian cinema. The regional film industry is really stepping up. I'd love to see our movies get international recognition at Cannes. 🎥

Being screened at Cannes is a big deal. I just hope the Indian media doesn't overhype it like they did with some other films that went there and then flopped here. Let the work speak for itself.

Interesting to see an Indian indie film getting a shot at Cannes. As someone who follows world cinema, I think the subject of identity and belonging is very universal. Hope it finds its audience both here and abroad.

I would love to see more Malayalam cinema cross over to other languages. But is it really necessary to release in 5 languages simultaneously? Sometimes that dilutes the essence. But I'll watch it for sure if it's as deep as they claim.
