“To the young film lover,
Don’t just watch the new releases. Find a quiet night. Brew some coffee. Watch Makkala Rajya (1960) – a children’s film so pure it hurts. Then watch Sharapanjara (1971) – Kalpana’s descent into madness will shatter you.
These films are our roots. My success in Mungaru Male stands on the shoulders of these classics.
Yours in cinema,
Pooja Gandhi”
