Idli Amma

The brief yet poignant tale of Idli Amma - M Kamalathal, masterfully woven in this tender and contemplative short film, beautifully illustrates how even the smallest act of kindness can have a profound impact on those around us. With a narrative as soft and gentle as a summer breeze, the story tells the inspiring story of a selfless woman who, 25 years ago, began offering idlis to migrant workers for just 1 rupee, solely to spread joy.

Idli Amma's devotion and unselfishness are truly humbling, and her story is a testament to the transformative power of kindness. Sarita Joshi's performance as always pitch-perfect. However, the film's short duration is its only drawback, leaving the viewer yearning for more. It's a fleeting glimpse into a remarkable life, much like a brief newspaper column that merely scratches the surface of an extraordinary story. Despite this, the film's impact lingers, reminding us of the boundless potential of small acts of kindness to touch hearts and change lives.
