Scam 1992 director Hansal Mehta heaps praise on The Great Indian Kitchen and Nayattu
The arrival of OTT platforms have played a major role in taking region films to a wider audience. Malayalam film industry has to be the most benefited from this. Over the last few years, Malayalam films have been getting a lot of appreciation from other-language audience. More recently, films like ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’, ‘Joji’ and ‘Nayattu’ are being spoken about a lot in social medias.
Bollywood-based filmmaker Hansal Mehta seems to have been highly impressed with ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’ and ‘Nayattu’. He has tweeted about both the films, which reads,
Watched The Great Indian Kitchen. Am just taken in by this new Malayalam cinema. Such maturity, economy and elegance while dealing with pertinent themes. No rabble rousing, no pompous dialogue, no preaching. Yet so much power in the story telling. Such honesty in the craft.
Nayattu on @NetflixIndia is a very strong film. Engrossing, tense, real and nuanced with terrific characters. So well directed and acted. Try it.
Hansal Mehta is a National-award winning director known for helming films like ‘Shahid’, ‘Aligarh’, ‘Omerta’ and the popular web series ‘Scam 1992’
