Aviyal

When Krishnan's daughter calls him up to share two ‘secrets’ of her life, he is amused, but he decides to give her company and open up about his own life, to teach her a thing or two.

Directed by Shanil Muhammed, Aviyal leans on a strong ensemble — Joju George, Anaswara Rajan, Ketaki Narayan Kulkarni — 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 2022.
