The award’s choice this year is symbolic but powerful. The Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025 puts Kerala on the national stage. For decades, Malayalam cinema has been known for strong storytelling and realistic performances, but outside Kerala, only serious cinephiles followed it. Now, with a legend like Mohanlal being recognized, even casual viewers may explore Malayalam films. This could create a ripple effect where regional content finally receives the respect it deserves. I see this as the beginning of something bigger, though it will take time.

Answered for the Question: "With Mohanlal receiving the Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025, do you feel regional cinema is finally getting more national attention, or does Bollywood still dominate such honours?"
