The Kerala Story deserved more National Awards, says director Sudipto Sen, is 'sad' Adah Sharma didn't win Best Actress
The Kerala Story was one of the big winners at the recently announced 71st National Film Awards. The film won in two categories - Best Director and Best Cinematography. But the film's director, Sudipto Sen, still feels shortchanged. In an exclusive chat with Hindustan Times, the filmmaker says the film deserved more awards. Adah Sharma played the lead role in Sudipto Sen's The Kerala Story. Sudipto Sen believes The Kerala Story deserved more awards When asked about his first reaction to his Best Director win, Sudipto says, "It was a surprise. I expected technical awards. I wanted the work of my technicians to be recognised. When a film becomes so big that even two years after its release, it is being talked about, then it is definitely technically good. That was why I had reason to expect my technicians would get the award. My DOP did, but I would have been happy if my writer, my makeup artist, and my actress Adah Sharma had also won. But that did not happen, and I was a little sad." However, Sudipto says he is happy about whatever has come his way through the film. "But at the end of the day, hailing from a modest background and after struggling for 20-25 years, getting the country's top award for film direction is a great honour. It was overwhelming," he adds. On what the award means The filmmaker says he does not see the award as validation, but merely recognition. "I have been living in Mumbai for almost 25 years, but I never felt at home with Bollywood. I don't belong to the genre of cinema that the Mumbai film industry makes. I remain an outsider here. People hardly know me here. Their validation was never a big aspect in my cinematic journey. My audience's validation was important," he tells us. The Kerala Story is about a group of girls from Kerala who are radicalised by ISIS militants. The makers' claim of it being based on real incidents sparked off a wave of protests in Kerala, leading to a ban on the film in the state and a legal battle. After the award, Sudipto says, "You can't discredit me by saying it's a propaganda film." That is his biggest takeaway from what he calls is the film's 'continued relevance'. The Kerala Story released to a good reception from the audiences, minting over ₹300 crore at the box office.

The K-Beauty secret Gen Z can't get enough of
Stray Kids' Hyunjin and IVEJang won young, as well as famous K-pop singers, are also diligent about skin care Try scrolling without seeing a glowy face or " glass skin " tag-it's nearly impossible. But this isn't just marketing sparkle; studies show it's about global pop icons blending lifestyle with skincare. According to Statista, 58% of global shoppers say K-pop and K-drama shape what they choose from Korea. For young adults, the craze feels personal, and that's no accident. Take Jang Wonyoung, the much-admired idol from IVE. She's famous not just for her stage talent, but for her signature hydration routine -multiple thin layers of essence and cream that build up a fresh, plumped look, all sealed with gentle patting. "Hydration is the core of my routine. I never skip sheet masks-sometimes even twice a day before shoots!" she revealed in an interview collected by Korea Cosmetic Newspaper. This "layering" approach is getting rave reviews from young fans for delivering real, lasting results. But she's not alone: Stray Kids' Hyunjin, another K-pop favorite, openly discusses how he manages sensitivity and breakouts. His go-to: calming, nature-based products like cica toner and green tea cleansers, always sealed by sunscreen. In a recent YouGov survey, 62% of Indian Gen Z say they pick routines that "look authentic and gentle," a trend Hyunjin helped fuel by posting his nighttime routine-proving that even without a glam squad, a K-pop-inspired ritual can be part self-care, part self-expression. It's no wonder Korean skincare is flying off shelves in India, with reports by KOTRA and Social Beat India confirming a sharp jump in K-Beauty's popularity, driven by idol-fueled trends-not just ads. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo What Makes K-Beauty So Addictive? Aloe, Tech, and the Idol Factor Ask anyone in their twenties: why all the K-Beauty hype? It comes down to real benefits, affordable prices, and-according to K-Beauty expert consultant Ms. Cho Hyee Jung-super gentle but innovative formulas. "K-Beauty products are winning over young Indians because their natural ingredients and advanced blends give that moisturized, healthy 'glass skin' look with zero irritation," she explains. Ms. Cho adds that the ritual itself feels like "a healing session," blending wellness with daily style. Numbers back this up. Cosrx India's survey finds 62% of Gen Z (18-26) are chasing "youthful confidence," with 96% buying skincare in the last 6 months. Key sellers stay below ₹1,200-about ₹1,200 for a full set, with deep sale prices even hitting ₹400. Compare that to global brands at ₹2,500 and up, and you see why so many K-beauty products sell out online. And while K-Beauty is famous for natural boosts-think aloe, green tea, hyaluronic acid-what really stands out is personalization. Korean brands now offer AI-powered skin analysis and AR try-ons, plus halal/vegan options. Some even customize formulas for Indian skin and climate, as per Vogue Business' latest report. Social Media, Idol Routines, and the Ultimate Fandom-Beauty Link Move over, influencer plug: K-pop idol recommendations are powering a new level of skincare chatter. In just two years, Social Beat India clocked 6.2 million posts about K-beauty and K-pop, with the 19-24 crowd at the heart. Launchmetrics data shows K-pop stars now drive nearly 60% of global beauty event buzz-sometimes clicking over ₹515 crore in media value, each event. The result? YouGov India reports a 22% spike in real purchases-all from fan trust in how Jang Wonyoung or Hyunjin "really care for their skin." Brands see this, too: K-pop idols have moved up to creative directors, even shaping new product releases based on their routines and feedback. More Than a Trend-Why K-Beauty Fits Your Vibe For millions of young Indians, copying a K-pop skin routine isn't about copying a star; it's about finding personal power, relaxation, and a sense of global connection. KOTRA says over 70.7% of K-content fans (ages 17-30) "genuinely consider Korean skincare when shopping". Ms. Cho notes that K-Beauty's rise isn't a quick trend, but a shift to "wellness, individuality, and a moment of self-care that genuinely feels good. " No matter your budget or your skin challenges, there's a K-pop-inspired routine or product that fits-and a generation finding joy and confidence, one sheet mask at a time.
