Lola's Rainbow is a film about the mundanity of life. It's about feeling trapped in the everyday cycle of repetition. The rainbow is symbolic for many reasons to many different people, however for Lola it symbolises a way out. In a world that is often dull and vapid, the rainbow's bright colours call to Lola. Dreaming of chasing the rainbow and actually doing it are two different things. Most of us give up and accept that life doesn't get better than the cycle that we find ourselves in. EAT. SLEEP. WORK. REPEAT.

Kaalam is a human drama about how time influences perception, judgment, and compassion. In an ordinary setting of everyday lives, people cross paths and form opinions about one another - often too quickly. Actions are misunderstood, intentions are misread, and individuals are judged not for who they are, but for what is seen in a moment shaped by circumstances. As time moves through different phases - Samakaalam 1, Samakaalam 2, Kooththukaalam, and Maayakaalam.Perspectives begin to shift. What once appeared right starts to feel incomplete, and what seemed wrong reveals hidden truths. Time slowly exposes the gaps between appearance and reality. Kaalam reflects on how easily humans judge one another, and how time alone has the power to correct those judgments. It ultimately observes how time alters judgment and changes the way people see one another.
