36 Years of Kireedam: Why This Mohanlal Film Still Matters

The first time Kireedam hit the screens on July 7, 1989, it wasn’t just another family drama. It was a quiet storm, an intimate, gut-punch of a film that spoke to the hopes and heartbreak of a generation. Thirty-six years later, its echoes remain as potent, its lessons as sharp, and its characters as unforgettable.At its core, Kireedam is a study in fragility. Not just the fragility of a young man’s dreams, but the delicate balance between aspiration and circumstance. Sethumadhavan
