It wasn’t just something I watched… it became something I lived… I’m only 24 years old… but from childhood to now, this is the only thing that stayed with me… In every phase, in every doubt, in every little dream… cinema never left my side. I can’t believe it for so long, I can’t function… her baby… Something I thought about every day I woke up and slept… As a hero, I experienced a beautiful story…” The director added: “As a director, I found my own. Every frame holds a piece of my heart… every moment carries a part of my journey… There were days that broke me, days that built me up… but it always reminded me why I started this film with you in mind… I always wondered how you would feel, where you would smile, where you would connect… So many beautiful souls who came together to make this possible to be forever grateful to each one. And now… I leave… From something that was mine… to something that becomes yours. Take care of her…love her like I do…maybe even more. Hope it entertains you, stays with you and gives you something beautiful to hold on to from a child who loved Cinema… to this moment Naalaiku paapom… Kadavuluku Nandri !! (It’s hard to let go…but knowing it’s coming to you makes it beautiful.” Cast and Movie DetailsDirected by Ken Karunas, ‘Youth’ stars Anishma Anilkumar, Devadarshini and Suraj Venjaramoodu in important roles.NOTE: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from various public and industry sources.
