The Malayalam film 'Footage' is causing quite a stir ever since it hit the theatres. The film which is directed by Saiju Sreedharan, a seasoned editor who is making his directorial debut has the film breaking new ground with its innovative storytelling approach. Now having said that, let us have a look at a few reasons why one should watch the film. 

What sets 'Footage' apart is its utilization of the found-footage style, where the narrative unfolds through videos recorded by the characters themselves. This marks a significant departure from traditional storytelling methods in Malayalam cinema, injecting a fresh and intriguing dynamic into the narrative landscape. The excitement surrounding 'Footage' reached a fever pitch when the first look of the film was unveiled, featuring prominent actors like Manju Warrier, Gayathri Ashok, and Vishak Nair.

Interestingly, the poster initially sparked a bit of confusion among fans, as some mistook Manju Warrier for Gayathri Ashok. This inadvertent mix-up only served to amplify the anticipation surrounding the film, generating a buzz that reverberated across social media platforms and within the industry. Manju Warrier, a beloved figure in Malayalam cinema, took to social media to share her enthusiasm for the project, captioning the poster with the enigmatic phrase, "FOOTAGE CAN TELL WHAT WORDS CAN’T." Her endorsement further fueled the curiosity of fans, who eagerly await her performance in this groundbreaking venture. Additionally, Vishak Nair's return to the Malayalam film scene after a hiatus is generating significant interest, especially given his past successes in films like 'Anandam'.

Nair's involvement in "Footage" signals a promising comeback, further enhancing the film's appeal. Director Saiju Sreedharan's transition from editing to directing represents a bold move, indicative of his creative vision and willingness to push the boundaries of storytelling. Having previously worked on acclaimed projects such as "Kumbalangi Nights" and "Anjaam Pathiraa," Sreedharan brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, promising audiences a unique cinematic experience.

Furthermore, the musical score of 'Footage' is in capable hands, with renowned musician Sushin Shyam tasked with composing the soundtrack. Shyam's evocative compositions have been a highlight of numerous films, and his collaboration with Sreedharan is expected to elevate the cinematic experience to new heights. In essence, 'Footage' represents a convergence of talent, innovation, and creativity in Malayalam cinema. As anticipation continues to mount for its release, the film stands poised to make a lasting impression, paving the way for future experimentation and artistic exploration within the industry. With its bold narrative approach, stellar cast, and visionary director at the helm, 'Footage' is undoubtedly a cinematic event not to be missed.
