About Colours of Kollywood- A Melanin Deficiency

Through conversations with industry professionals, artistes, social activists and the common people, this documentary examines the history and practice of differential treatment based on skin colour, especially regarding actresses in Tamil cinema.
Directed by Paro Salil, Colours of Kollywood- A Melanin Deficiency leans on a strong ensemble — K. Hariharan, Naresh Nil, Mia Maelzer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
