As we have mentioned many times recently, there has been a new tendency in Asian cinema, of combining a mainstream base, of a sci-fi or a horror for example, with intense art-house and experimental elements. Krishnendu Kalesh, who has a mixed media background, also moves into this direction, with a film that shares many similarities regarding its unusual approach, with Vietnamese “Taste”, one of the most interesting titles of last year’s Berlinale.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is informing film and television works around the world and Malayalam-language film “Hawk’s Muffin” (“Prappeda”) – selected in this week’s International Film Festival Rotterdam – uses it as a starting point, and adds elements of war to tell a surreal tale set in a dystopian future.
After his plane drops an atomic bomb, a pilot is ordered into hiding by his commanders. The location is an isolated estate where his life intertwines with his daughter, granddaughter, a bodyguard, a priest and a policeman. Things get complicated when the granddaughter befriends a stranger.
“Hawk’s Muffin” is the feature debut of Krishnendu Kalesh, known for his 2017 short satirical noir thriller “Black Beast” (“Karinchathan”), a response to the Charlie Hebdo attack.
“The pandemic is used only as an opportunity to start off a story of century-long conspiracy in the film. I conceived the pandemic period as an occasion...

MollywoodPhotographer Hasif says that the assumption by viewers that a shoot featuring two women can only be sexual is a product of the male gaze.Sreedevi JayarajanImage credit: Hasif Abida Hakim When Malayalam actor Parvathy shared pictures of a photoshoot on her Instagram handle in September 2020, she received several comments, mostly from young men. The nine-part project, titled the 'Rhapsody series', featured her and Marathi actor Ketaki Narayan. They were photographed by Kerala-based documentary photographer Hasif Abida Hakim, who is the creative mind behind the work. “Are you portraying a same-sex relationship here? Is this a lesbian shoot? Is Parvathy playing the man? were some questions which popped up on the actor’s Insta handle,” Hasif tells Tnm. The 32-year-old says that these questions are a byproduct of the viewers’ gaze, which is most often gendered. The photos feature Parvathy in a weather-beaten look: no make-up, unplucked eyebrows, with a tan and frizzy hair.

ReviewThe story itself, while it has some content, is all too superficial and the film, directed by Arun Kumar Aravind, tries too hard to create some ‘star’ moments.CrisA few minutes into the long, long film enters the real hero of this thriller – the background score. The movie thrives on the background score, played every time there is a slow walk-away from the scene by Asif Ali, who plays one of the male leads, and every time a smart one-liner is spoken, which is most of the script.

The story itself, while it has some content, is all too superficial and the film, directed by Arun Kumar Aravind, tries too hard to create some ‘star’ moments.
