What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. Beautifully put together by T S Eliot, these words seem suggestive of the life of an artist who deserved to be a part of cinematic history, but who almost didn't. 

 

Kamal, through his latest film 'Celluloid' , in true filmic fashion, attempts to the narrate the tragic tale of Joseph Chellayya Daniel Nadar (Prithviraj), the first ever film maker in Kerala, who was destined to perish in desolation and obscurity. Attended to, only by his frail old wife Janet (Mamta Mohandas), Daniel watched his life flicker feebly away in a dusty old house at Agastheeswaram, far away from his homeland.
