Nandita Das & Others in Naalu Pennungal (Four Women)

His name is taken in the same breath as Satyajit Ray, for the mainstream audiences particularly patrons of bollywood , Adoor Gopalakrishnan is virtually unknown & perhaps even my much of the bollywood fraternity adoor is thoroughly under appreciated to the point of being completely ignored. Besides the award winning & critically acclaimed films screened at the best film festivals all over the world, adoor comes across as a much humbler man, while bollywood directors oversell & market utter thrash under the garb of cinema & then go on defending it , adoor makes a movie every few years which makes you just stand up and take notice , there are no marketing gimmics or the need for huge productions, just plain good cinema. His cinema is rooted firmly with his native kerala but it works at such multiple levels that movies are very much universal in their significance. His latest offering is a set of four short stories titled Naalu Pennungal (Four Women) , the film explores and captures the gamut of emotions of women from various stratas of society. It is a cinematic treat from one of the masters of indian cinema.

Cast Includes Geetu Mohandas, Manju Pillai, Nandita Das, Kavya Madhavan & Padmapriya
