Feminichi Fathima
Release Date: December 12
Genre: Social Drama
Feminichi Fathima follows the quiet yet turbulent life of Fathima, a woman whose only priority has always been her family. When her mattress—a seemingly insignificant part of her everyday life—gets damaged, and no one in the household is willing to replace it, she confronts a harsh truth about her role and value within the family.
Constant reminders of her “duties” and religious obligations push her deeper into emotional exhaustion. Eventually, Fathima begins a journey of self-realisation and empowerment, discovering the importance of financial freedom and self-respect.
Shamla Hamza, a Kerala State Film Award winner, leads the film with a powerful performance.
