Fawaz Ashraff

Fawaz Ashraff steps into the spotlight with "Paru Parvathy" (2025), a film that doesn’t play by the usual rules. The story orbits around Paru, a woman who’s basically had it up to here with society’s expectations. She’s not your cookie-cutter heroine—she’s messy, loud, and unapologetically herself. The movie kicks off in a sleepy town, where Paru’s daily hustle is mostly ignored. People gossip, her parents fret, and honestly, she couldn’t care less. Enter Parvathy, a wildcard who’s everything Paru isn’t—polished, ambitious, and carrying a truckload of secrets. When these two cross paths, it’s like gasoline meeting fire. The plot zigs and zags through awkward family dinners, hushed conversations in the rain, and some absolutely wild confrontations that’ll leave you reeling. There’s a ton of humor, but it doesn’t shy away from those gut-punch moments either—think ugly cries and midnight epiphanies. Ashraff really digs into the weird, beautiful messiness of friendship and self-discovery. You get these flashes of raw honesty from both leads, and it’s honestly refreshing to see characters who aren’t afraid to screw up big time. The town itself almost becomes a character, with its nosy neighbors, noisy markets, and the ever-present buzz of rumors. “Paru Parvathy” isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty, asking what it really means to find your place in a world that’d rather you just blend in and shut up.
