One of the few low-budget films to create a significant impact nationwide, Kaathal – The Core revolves around a middle-aged homosexual man, his wife and his lover.
Mentioning that Mammootty was the first choice for the lead role in Kaathal – The Core, director Jeo Baby opened up about the star's contributions to the film's script and the changes that he suggested.
Kaathal is about the crisis, both private and public, that follows Omana’s filing for divorce from her husband Mathew Devassy, after 20 years of marriage, alleging her husband being a closet homosexual in relationship with another man and pointing out the denial of her sexual rights and cruel deprivation of her body.
Kaathal – The Core movie review: Jeo Baby's film, starring Mammootty and Jyotika, is a groundbreaking film that should be watched by all, particularly those in the film industry who continue to present recycled age-old narratives, expecting unquestioning acceptance from the audiences.
