About Newspaper Boy
Newspaper Boy is a Malayalam–language Indian film released in 1955. It is the first neo realistic movie in the language. The film, a drama of stark realism, narrates the life of the common man on the street. The film is noteworthy in that the entire production programme from script-writing to direction was controlled and executed by students.
Directed by P Ramadas, Newspaper Boy leans on a strong ensemble — Adoor Pankajam, Miss Kumari, Nagavally R S Kurup — 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 drama titles of 1955.
