Director Statement

Malli Kaluddam is a personal story about love, timing and the moments that stay with us even after they pass. Through a quiet meeting between two people, the film looks at how some relationships are never truly over - they continue to live within us. I wanted to tell this story in a simple and honest way, focusing on real emotions, silence and the feeling of “what could have been.”
