Moothon is layered in terms of a search for one’s own self: Geetu Mohandas

Moothon (The Elder One), a bilingual crime thriller in Malayalam and Hindi, was premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). IBNS Canada correspondent Asha Bajaj speaks to director  Geetu Mohandas about the  film starring Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly and capturing the search for a lost elder brother (played by Nivin) that takes a teenaged Mulla from the idyllic islands of Lakshadweep to the ugly underbelly of Mumbai. The quest of the younger brother is also metaphorical in the film which the director says portrays a "sense of identity and the crises within”. Excerpts:
