Ilayum Mullum
1994, Malayalam. Directed by K.P. Sasi.
This is a film on moral policing. When this film was produced, the term `moral policing' was not in the public use by the activist circles or intellectual circles. It was produced in 1993. Perhaps, the film was a bit ahead of its time . More and more cases of moral policing were discussed decades later.. The victims and survivors of moral policing in India include women, religious minorities, sexuality minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, marginalized nationalities, marginalized linguistic cultures, marginalized regions and marginalized skin colours in India. Ilayum Mullum is based on certain real incidents that took place in Kerala.
