Njan

At its heart "Njan" is an excellent story. The director, Renjith, has a wonderful way of seamlessly integrating the past with the present accompanied by gorgeous cinematography. The setting and costumes are equally gorgeous: it is all perfectly authentic. The sparse yet aesthetically rich interiors of old Kerala village homes as well as the expanse of the sky and rural countryside add so much to the story. The acting is also superb. Dulquer Salmaan does an excellent job in his role as Kottoor and Ravi. On top of that one gets a narrative that reveals a compelling and perhaps little-known slice of Indian history. One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
