Watch @MaadathyTheFilm on @neestream from June 24th onwards. #Maadathy #MaadathyMovie @GRfilmssg @karuvachyfilms”. Speaking about how the film came into existence, Leena spoke to TNM and said, “It all started when I came across an article that noted that it is the Puthirai Vannar community - the last in the ladder of caste system, the Dalits among Dalits, the “unseeable” - who are the ones perpetually on the move, displaced because they are unable to protect their women.”

Take a look at the tweet:

Maadathy had received mass appreciation from critics and cinephiles at festivals alike including Busan International Film Festival, Kolkata International Film Festival, Latin American FICCI 60, Third Eye Asian Film Festival, Chicago South Asian Film Festival, DC South Asian Film Festival among many others where it was screened.
