Born on Ist April 1977 in the state of Kerala, India.

In 2006 he scripted the Malayalam feature film ‘Pakal’ (the Day). The short film in Malayalam ‘Ashupathrikal avashyappudunna Lokam’ (The world which demand hospital) was scripted in 2007. The short film ‘Athira 10 C’ which won five awards of the Government of Kerala in 2009 was also scripted by him. He has written the script of the short fim ‘Marichavarude Kadal’ (Sea of the dead) directed by the national award winner Priyanandanan.

He received Kerala State Television Award for the best screen play in 2009 for his short film ‘Athira 10-C’. He scripted and directed the feature film ‘Padmini’ in 2018 based on the life of a pioneering woman artist T K Padmini who lived in Kerala from 1940 – 1969. The film made the semi-final lists of Directors Cut International Film Festival in 2018 and was also screened in the First-Time Filmmaker Sessions hosted by @LiftOffGlobalNetwork in 2019.

His second film is NALINAKANTHI. This 90-minute biopic follows the life and works of T. Padmanabhan, the celebrated writer of popular fiction in Malayalam, the language spoken by more than 30-million people in state of Kerala, India. The nonagenarian writer, still actively pursuing his writing passion has a wide readership in India, and in a large diasporic community spread across Europe, Asia and America.

The film deftly weaves in the facts of his personal and professional life, with facets from an intense world of fiction he has created in his acclaimed short stories. Conversations with the writer, and characters from his works coming alive on screen, in a backdrop of painting, animation and music capture the writer’s complex world of beauty and emotion.

Loneliness and its sometimes-desirable counterpart for a writer -solitude; the everyday challenges and the deeper internalised conflicts of a writer’s life - all find expression in the film. The society the writer moves in unfolds through its themes of oppression and struggles against the social order.

Though the bold, experimental treatment of a complex theme demands new forms of expression, the director has taken care to present a cohesive narrative in images of visual beauty, suffused with alluring music that highlights the content. The fact that the director, Susmesh Chandroth, is also a notable writer of short fiction stamps this narrative of a creator’s life with an authenticity evident in the selection of content and thematic progression of the film.
