A group of Malayali travellers were returning to Kerala by bus after their visit to Velankanni. They all doze off in a lazy nap after lunch. Like a traveler who forgot his destination, James stops the bus in a village in Tamil Nadu.

He walks amidst faith, delusion, dream and trance, followed by others.

#NanpakalNerathuMayakkam is a wierd film whose absurdity is beyond my understanding. Even with the preconceived notion that LJP's filmography is mostly layered, filled with allegorical elements , the barrier of not understanding the language fails me to consume this film like the locals would. Theni Eashwar's cinematography is definitely admirable courtesy to the long wide takes and symmetrical frames used. Again the music for me was just reading subtitles. Overall, the film is slow , absurd for the most part and can be watched if you really speak the tongue. Check my Instagram: www.instagram.com/stream.genx

Like an Afternoon Dream Dank Farrik, what a wild experience, This compact film, with its slow-paced screenplay, makes it feel longer than it is, giving you time to immerse yourself in the characters and the atmosphere. I absolutely loved it for its minimal dialogue and powerful visual storytelling, which created an almost dreamlike atmosphere that kept me engaged until the very end. It made me feel both sad and happy at the same time—something not many movies can achieve. I really hope people don't overlook this film, even if the plot might seem simple and dumb at first glance. It truly stands out in the cinema landscape, exploring themes of identity, memory, and reality, and makes you question their very nature. The film leaves a lasting impression and invites a multitude of interpretations. I have to mention the technical aspect. While I'm not entirely certain, at times the technical elements of Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam seem to echo Studio Ghibli's approach, especially in their meticulous attention to detail and the use of visual storytelling to evoke emotion and atmosphere.
