Praappeda or hawk's muffin is an impressive movie to be experienced..one of a kind in Malayalam....it has rich visuals, footages, clips, interesting texts/titles, a mix of genres - a dystopian sci fi tale, post-war fantasy, dark humour and a silent film as well... open to interpretations..it gives a whole idea but hard to stick to single understanding and its designed such a way to interpret differently and try to resolve with multiple viewings.... because of this nature it won't be a crowdpleaser but definitely a treat to those who likes to invest them and involve into the film's world...the premise is Post-war world and the basic idea is liberation...animal/birds used as symbols of war and peace..the breathtaking visuals and the sound plays key role in the fragmented narrative....the sound Design brings out a parallel storytelling...ketaki Narayanan was impressive and Rajesh madhavan was my favourite among the top performers... cinematography was top notch and score was the soul ..we could see reflections of tarkovsky, Guillermo del toro, Miyazaki ...in a good way...this debut from krishnendu khalesh is a must watch!
