Akilesh Kathamuthu | Director of Photography

“Every frame is artistically filmed from the outset, capturing the spirit of the time and bringing the narrative to life.”

“The director and the cinematographer Akilesh Kathamuthu display a dramatic eye for framing, with eye-catching colours. One of the loveliest images I have seen this year is that of men climbing the walls of a palace. Instead of pulling back and giving us a wide view, the camera takes us just close enough that we see the action of scaling the wall and the resemblance of these men to, say, a swarm of creatures with a singular purpose.”

“Akilesh Katamuthu’s cinematography is excellent since it depicts the occurrences in a natural and unpolished way.”

“Akilesh Kathamuthu the cinematographer has not only made the film look grand with his wides of the forests and the hilltops but also in getting close with the riveting action.”
