'Lokah' - a landmark for Malayalam cinema; Santhy Balachandran shares gratitude

The success of 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' is being hailed as a landmark moment for Malayalam cinema. Recently the co-screenwriter Santhy Balachandran took to her Instagram handle to share gratitude.

Sharing a snap with her parents, she wrote, "I have a lot of people to thank. But none more than my Achan and Amma. They have seen every up and down at close quarters, felt every moment of joy and heartache — possibly even more deeply than I have.

My choice to give up a stable academic life in Oxford for a life of uncertainty in the arts has not been easy on them. They have watched and worried as I tried to find my feet in the quicksand that is the creative industry. I have thrown curveball after curveball their way since I was a little girl, but they have always taken it in their stride, recalibrating their understanding of what support looks like in each instance."
