Sreejith Edavana

Sreejith Edavana, a name that’s been buzzing around certain film circles lately, really brings a weirdly hypnotic energy to his projects. Take "Cicada" (2024) for instance—yeah, the title alone is enough to make you wonder if you’re in for a slow-burn indie or a trippy arthouse flick. Turns out, it’s a bit of both. The story claws its way through the life of a protagonist who’s stuck in this endless loop of monotony, kinda like those real cicadas droning on in the background of a sticky summer night. There's this feeling of being trapped, you know, like the world keeps spinning but you’re just standing there, blinking at the chaos. Then there’s "Nebula Dreams," which hits you with that whole cosmic, existential vibe. It’s the sort of film that doesn’t hand you answers on a silver platter, more like throws you into the deep end and says, “Swim, buddy.” The visuals? Out there. And the soundtrack? Haunting, in the best way. You get these moments where you’re not sure if the characters are dreaming, dying, or just having a really bad trip. "Jathara" (2024) rounds out his recent work and, honestly, it's a trip into the tangled roots of tradition versus personal freedom. The characters wrestle with their own shadows, digging through messy family secrets and old wounds that never really healed. Edavana’s films aren’t afraid to get under your skin, poke at your thoughts, and leave you a little uncomfortable—in a good way. He’s not about tidy endings or easy answers. If you want pretty, packaged stories, look elsewhere. But if you’re into films that stick with you long after the credits roll, his work’s worth a look.
