Agency News : Mumbai

The Malayalam Tovino

Thomas-starrer 2018 Everyone Is A Hero, directed by the awardwinning popular director, Jude Anthany Joseph, is having a dream run and moving toward the Rs 100-crore club, a rare feat for a Mollywood movie. And coming as it does at a time when The Kerala Story is attracting nationwide attention, people close to the Malayalam film industry are saying that ‘2018’ is “the real Kerala Story” and not the one that claims to be one. 2018 Everyone Is A Hero is centred around stories of humanity triumphing over adversity in the backdrop of the 2018 floods that devastated parts of Kerala. It is the second Tovino project to attract national attention and draw an adulatory audience response after the 2021 superhero movie Minnal Murali. And it also brings back memories of his performance in ‘Virus’, the 2019 film about the Nipah outbreak in Kerala. Tovino, incidentally, volunteered his services for flood relief back in 2018. In the film, he plays a young man who leaves the

Indian Army with a fake medical certificate and redeems himself during the floods. The ensemble cast includes top Malayalam talents, notably Asif Ali, Kunchacko Boban, Lal and the National Award-winning actress, Aparna Balamurali, who plays a TV reporter. The movie, which was released on May 5, raked in around Rs 5.18 crore on its ninth day from Kerala alone, which is an all-time record in Mollywood history. The worldwide collection is reported to be more than Rs 80 crore in the first nine days. The film is reported to be getting a standing ovation in theatres across the state.

As viewers, we’ve all been captivated by the touching portrayal of a mother-son relationship between Yashodha (Neha Joshi) and Krisha (AayudhBhanushali) onscreen in & TV’s Doosri Maa. Their bond goes far beyond as they share an inseparable bond filled with love and care offscreen. With Mother’s Day around the corner, we chat with Neha Joshi about the complexities of her onscreen persona, her relationship with Krishna, and their real-life connection. What distinguishes Yashoda’s character from other television mothers? Yashodha’s character has resonated with audiences, and I must admit the role is challenging. One has to bring authenticity to the character and do justice to the emotions involved. But at the same time, it’s also deeply fulfilling. There are no bounds to motherly love and affection. However, it can be complicated, especially when the child in question is the illegitimate son of your husband. While there have been several portrayals of strong mothers onscreen on television, what sets Yashoda’s character apart is her journey of coming to terms with her husband’s past and standing up against her own family and society for Krishna and striking a balance between her maternal instincts.
