National award-winning Malayalam film 'Adaminte Makan Abu', has been named as India's official entry for 2012 Oscars.
The film won 4 National Awards that includes Best Actor, Best Cinematographer, Best Background Score and Best Feature Film. The movie is directed by debut filmmaker Salim Ahamed and stars Salim Kumar and Zarina Wahab in the lead.
The premise of the film is about an old perfume seller Abu whose primary dream is to go on a Hajj pilgrimage like any devout Muslim.It is a simple story which describes human values,as it portrays how the seller struggles to collect money to go to Hajj.
All those who have seen the movie does appreciate the strength of the character portrayed in it. Infact every Indian lives with a dream big or small as shown in the movie. Whether the oscar committee accept/reject this movie makes no impact on the indian viewers but if the movie makers give up on making such meaningful ones due to lack of a wide scale appreciation thats when we the viewers> really lose. I wish the director and the entire team behind this movie a great success and hope to see more movies that can relate to a common man's problem.
