"This is my second movie and I am so happy and excited that I received Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress. - Shamla Hamza"

Malappuram, November 4

Actor Shamla Hamza, who has been honoured with prestigious Kerala State Film Award, has expressed her delight over the achievement for her second film, 'Feminichi Fathima'.

Speaking to ANI, Shamla Hamza said, "This is my second movie and I am so happy and excited that I received Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress. I got a chance for this movie only because of 1001 Nunakal. I am really thankful to the team and Director Fasil Muhammed."

Shamla Hamza took home the Best Actress Award for her performance in Fasil Muhammed-directed film, 'Feminichi Fathima'. Besides that, the film also picked the Second Best Film and Best Debut Director awards at the 54th Kerala State Film Awards.

Ever since the awards were announced, Hamza has been receiving warm greetings and congratulatory messages from the members of the Malayalam film industry, including veteran actor Mammootty.

Reacting to the same, she added, "I really don't know what to say. I am so happy seeing his message. He just said, 'Congratulations' and that is really enough for me to be happy."

Notably, Mammootty also received the Best Actor award at the Kerala State Film Awards for his performance in Rahul Sadasivan's folk-horror film Bramayugam.

A total of 128 films from the year 2024 were submitted for consideration this year, out of which 26 films were shortlisted.

Written and directed by Fasil Mohammad, 'Feminichi Fathima' tells the story of Fathima, a housewife in a coastal town, who has been residing with her orthodox husband. Her attempts to replace a mere mattress in their house challenge the underlying patriarchy, while also acting as a symbol of her independence.

Apart from Shamla Hamza, the film also features Kumar Sunil, Viji Viswanath, Pushpa Rajan, and Praseedha.

The story of Feminichi Fathima sounds so relevant to our society. A housewife's simple attempt to change a mattress becoming a symbol of independence - this is the kind of meaningful cinema we need more of. Kudos to the entire team!

While I'm happy for Shamla's achievement, I do wonder if established actors were overlooked. 128 films is a huge number, and many veteran actresses have delivered exceptional performances this year. Still, congratulations to her!

The fact that Mammootty himself congratulated her shows how special this achievement is! In Malayalam cinema, getting recognition from legends like him means you've truly arrived. Wishing Shamla many more successes ahead! ✨

Fasil Muhammed is proving to be one of the most promising directors in Malayalam cinema. Three awards for his film including Best Actress and Second Best Film - that's no small feat! The coastal town setting and portrayal of patriarchy sounds very authentic to Kerala's social fabric.

It's heartening to see regional cinema getting such recognition. The Kerala State Film Awards have always maintained high standards, and Shamla's win shows that talent truly shines through, regardless of experience. Looking forward to seeing this film with English subtitles!
