Reema, 41, says that the film’s set was a ‘safe place’, where more than 60 percent of people were women on the set. “When we were shooting for climax, when two friends talked to solve the estrange, every woman had tears in his eyes.

Contemporary dance production, Nehet – Dance of the Waves (2023), was the first dance production of Mamangam. It holds a special place in her heart. One of the high points was that it was being staged earlier this year at the International Theater Festival in Kerala in Thrissur. “We have watched films at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) sitting on the stairs and floors.
