About Papanasam
A cinephile tries to protect his family by hiding a heat-of-the-moment murder committed by his daughter by taking cues from the films he has watched. With the victim the son of a cop, can he get away with it?
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Papanasam leans on a strong ensemble — Kamal Haasan, Gautami Tadimalla, Kalabhavan Mani — 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 crime titles of 2015.
