Jalam Kondu Murivattaval

Signs was my first video festival .It was a very nice experience. I like the documentary
Jalam kondu Murivattaval”. That documentary revealed a love story about Moideen and Kanjan, It was a very touching story. Long years back Moideen died, Social and religious aspects will badly affect their relationship Their Relationship show the true meaning of love. Now Kanjana lived at Mukkam .Their attitude, thoughts are very touching .We can see the rain thru this documentary, it was very nice. I like the documentary very much.

He is even rented out by his master, bridled and saddled like a packhorse...
