InterviewShruthi’s debut film ‘B 32 Muthal 44 Vare’, dealing with the bodily challenges of women, won a special award under the Women and Transgender category of Kerala. Shruthi SharanyamWhen Shruthi Sharanyam speaks of the six main characters of her debut film, they sound like friends she has long had. Jaya's story alone should be a separate film and Rachel is almost like me, she says about two of the six persons she wrote about all too fondly. It was a pet topic, something she had mused about for years before sitting down with a nearly impossible deadline to write. When she was done, the film, B 32 Muthal 44 Vare, became a neatly woven work of art documenting through fiction the many bodily challenges women go through. Promptly, it won the Kerala State Award under the Women and Transgender category. It is the third award for the film, made as part of...

ReviewThe film, through the stories of six women, takes you through crises, both small and big, related to bodily issues that get resolved with the comforting support that one woman lends another.Quietly, smoothly, Shruthi Sharanyam’s B 32 Muthal 44 Vare flows from one woman to another, like a sheet of paper in the wind.
