Ilayum Mullum

This is a film on moral policing. When this film was produced, the term `moral policing' was not in the public use by the activist circles or intellectual circles. It was produced in 1993. Perhaps, the film was a bit ahead of its time . More and more cases of moral policing were discussed decades later.. The victims and survivors of moral policing in India include women, religious minorities, sexuality minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, marginalized nationalities, marginalized linguistic cultures, marginalized regions and marginalized skin colours in India. Ilayum Mullum is based on certain real incidents that took place in Kerala.

Street Musicians of Bombay

Off-camera, a Western traveler tells us of hearing singing from his hotel window in Bombay. He searches for the source, and discovers a caste of street performers, eking out a modest living. We see individuals and groups, old and young, snake charmers and those hired to sing at family celebrations. A few talk about their lives and refute accusations of kidnapping lodged against the caste. A troupe of women sing at a party for a pregnant woman - they are saucy and blunt, encouraging and sisterly.
