Mother's Day in a Different Way

International Mother's Day as usual went along with children posting pictures of their mothers on social media but for director Krishnabhaskar Mangalasserri, it was a day with new beginnings.  12th May saw the screening of his new short film, "Innaleyolam" at Padma theatre, in Ernakulam. The important factor about this was that Mangalasserri’s movie was based on a story of a mother, while the movie was also screened for the first time on Mother’s Day.

Shortfilm director Dr. Sabu Mangalasseri with NGO Theruvoram founder S Murugan, TWE director Indu Ramesh, “Swanthanam Charitable Society” director Radha Menon and the mothers of Theruvoram outside Padma Theatres, Kochi.

The mothers at the organisation had a fun filled day on this special occasion. Meanwhile the
people in the theatre left with a heavy heart because of the way it ends, not giving any spoilers
though. The mothers of the organisation were happy to catch a break from their routine, and
were delighted to be acknowledged by the people outside of the NGO.

His movie talks about a mother ailing from dementia and the emotions her son goes through while taking care of her and once he starts to be with her.

“Innaleyolam” stars State award winner Sethu Lakshmi, Sudhhy Koppa, Shabareesh Varma and Sreedhanya in the lead roles. The short film has rich musicals. The BGM and the song “Innaleyolam“ is arranged by Kailas Menon and the title song “Manamaake” is arranged by the emerging youth band “Chumadu Thangi.”

The audience was the other highlight of the day - mothers of Theruvoram NGO were present and they were complimented with gifts. The founder of Theruvoram NGO, Murugan S and his wife Indu Ramesh were also felicitated at the premiere.
