MP Shashi Tharoor praised the recent Malayalam release 'Achappa's Album', calling it a 'rare gem' that stands out in an 'era of loud blockbusters'. The film, shot at his ancestral home, is a whimsical time-travel adventure and a deeply moving exploration of family bonds.
The story follows a mischievous 14-year-old boy who swaps places with his father through a touch of magic, facing unique pressures and joys of their respective teenage years.
Directed by Deepti Pillay Sivan, the film balances humour and sentiment perfectly, with lush and nostalgic cinematography.
Shashi praised the film's team, saying it's a beautiful tribute to family, time, and memories, and urging viewers to watch it.
'Achappa's Album' stars Mohan Agashe, Aadinath Kothare, Priyanka Nair, Anjana Appukuttan, and Sidhanshu Sanjeev Sivan, and was released on April 24.
