Women face fresh hurdles in bids for leadership in Kerala film bodies; allege targeted moves, misogyny
KOCHI: Even after the Hema Committee report, the Film Policy Conclave, and countless panel discussions on women's empowerment, women in the Malayalam film industry continue to face formidable roadblocks when attempting to lead. The latest controversies surrounding the elections to the Kerala Film Producers Association (KFPA) and the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) make it brutally clear — the industry's core remains resistant to female leadership. Several women candidates — including prominent names like Shwetha Menon, Sandra Thomas, Kukkoo Parameswaran, and Pushpavathy — continue to be at the receiving end of targeted allegations and procedural hurdles, just as they step up to contest for top positions. 'These developments show how male-dominant film bodies are,' said producer Sandra Thomas. 'The way these allegations and cases have been raised against women candidates in AMMA and KFPA is the same. These operations are controlled from the same place by the same people who are controlling the associations and the cinema industry.' On Monday, Sandra's nominations for both president and secretary of KFPA were rejected on the grounds that she had produced only two films under her current banner, Sandra Thomas Films, a technicality that many say is selectively applied. Meanwhile, actor Shwetha Menon, contesting for AMMA president post, is now facing a police case — a move her supporters describe as calculated. According to screenwriter and Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) member Deedi Damodaran, the intent to push women out is not new — but it is more visible than ever. 'Now, what has happened is these attempts have become more evident and visible to the public. We see how Sandra, Shwetha, Kukkoo, and Pushpavathy are struggling. Those men who try to stop women and dominate over them are exposed. They cannot hide their dominant nature.'

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After a long wait filled with silence and speculation, Nadikar, Tovino Thomas-starrer, is all set to stream on OTT from August 8. The film, which originally hit theatres on May 3, 2024, never quite found its footing at the box office, and fans were left in the dark for over a year about its digital release. A satirical take on fame and failure The film is directed by Lal Jr. and written by Suvin Somasekharan. 'Nadikar' tells the story of David Padikkal who was once-celebrated Malayalam superstar whose ego and arrogance become his undoing. Tovino Thomas plays David with a mix of charm and vulnerability, navigating the painful arc of a star losing his shine. The film is now streaming on Saina Play. The OTT platform shared the release date update with a caption that read, "HE WAIT IS ALMOST OVERRRRR....!!!!! Nadikar is all set to make its OTT debut The countdown begins Streaming soon on Saina Play. Just One More Day To Go! NADIKAR – Streams Tomorrow On Saina Play! Get ready for a layered tale of fame, identity, and everything in between.

There were also special appearances by Dhyan Sreenivasan, Shine Tom Chacko, and Ganapathy. The music is by Yakzan Gary Pereira and Neha Nair, cinematography by Alby, and crisp editing is by Ratheesh Raj. ETimes gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, "Tovino's Acting Elevates This Passable Entertainer. " Though it didn't leave a mark during its theatrical run, 'Nadikar' now steps into homes with the potential to reach the audience it missed the first time.
