Theatre: The Myth of Reality , Written, directed, and scripted by Sajin Baabu
Sajin Baabu’s “Theatre: The Myth of Reality” continues its remarkable journey, this time on home soil, with resounding recognition at the 48th Kerala Film Critics Awards 2025. The film, which earlier earned international acclaim with its trailer launch at Cannes, has now been honored with two major awards in Kerala.
Celebrated actor Rima Kallingal has been conferred with the Best Actor Award (Female) 2024 for her performance in “Theatre” , while Pramod Veliyanad has received the Special Jury Award 2024 for his compelling role. These awards mark yet another proud milestone for the film, reaffirming its impact across audiences and critics alike.
Written, directed, and scripted by Sajin Baabu, Theatre explores the fragile boundaries between myth and reality, bringing to life the fading traditions and mystical undercurrents of Kerala. Produced by Anjana Philip and Philip Zackaria under the banner of Anjana Talkies, with Santhosh Kottayi as co-producer, the film draws its power not just from its performances but also from its deeply crafted visual and sonic landscape.
The frames captured by cinematographer Syamaprakash M S, the editing by Appu Bhattathiri, and the music composed by Saeed Abbas together create the film’s unique artistic texture. Supporting this vision behind the scenes, A S Dinesh served as the film’s PRO, while Marketing and Communications are led by Dr. Sangeetha Janachandran of Stories Social.
With its latest recognition at the Kerala Film Critics Awards, “Theatre” continues its journey of critical acclaim as well as artistic success.
