Feminichi Fathima X Review

Many people have praised the movie for humorously highlighting the stereotypes that still exist in our culture. They have also noted that as the majority of the movie is full with situational humour, entertainment has not been sacrificed.

The majority have also praised Dulquer Salmaan for the films he has been supporting through his producing company. He recently backed Lokah: Chapter 1, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan.

Some have also highlighted that the director should be commended for not demeaning any particular culture while depicting a universal theme—the patriarchy that endures in our society despite years of development.

Some have also suggested that this movie could be an equal to The Great Indian Kitchen by Jeo Baby, which explores a related subject.

Feminichi Fathima's much-awaited theatrical release

Due to its positive reviews from both viewers countrywide and critics at major film festivals, Feminichi Fathima was widely anticipated in theatres. However, because three other films came out on the same day and prior Malayalam releases had been doing well in theatres, Feminichi Fathima is only screened on a few theatres.

With supporting parts from Kumar Sunil, Viji Viswanath, Praseetha, Raji R, Babitha Basheer, and Fasil Muhammad, debutante Shamla Hamza plays the Fathima. The film was edited by the director himself. Numerous accolades have already been awarded the film, including the IFFK FIPRESCI Award for Best International Film, the NETPAC Best Malayalam Film, and the Critics Award for Best Film and Best Second Actress in Kerala 2024. It was also screened at the Indo-German Film Festival and the Melbourne Film Festival, where it received positive reviews from the spectators.
