Meenakshi 2024 Malayalam Navarasa Short Films 7 Verified May 2026

Kannadi subverts the typical depiction of romantic love. Instead of focusing on a couple, the film uses Shringara to explore self-love and vanity through a classical dancer preparing for a performance. The 22-minute film contains no dialogue—only visuals and a haunting score by Bijibal. Verified reviews confirm it won Best Cinematography at the Kozhikode International Short Film Fest.
