From Kerala’s Red Rebel Era to Cannes 2026; ‘Purushan’ Remembers John Abraham’s Amma Ariyan
John Abraham’s Amma Ariyan, a landmark Malayalam film shaped by Kerala’s radical Left politics of the 1970s and 1980s, will return to the global stage with a restored 4K premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 16. The film, produced through public contributions under the Odessa Collective, follows the death of a young activist and captures a generation marked by political idealism, state violence and emotional collapse.Sreelakshmi Soman 15 hours ago
