From Shyamala to Shobha: Sreenivasan’s quiet feminist voice in patriarchal cinema
For decades, Malayalam cinema revolved largely around male characters. Women were confined to familiar roles: the dutiful wife, the long-suffering mother, the romantic interest whose inner life rarely mattered once the hero’s arc took over, or outrightly objectified. Amidst this deeply patriarchal backdrop, Sreenivasan’s writing blossomed and stood out not through loud political assertions, but through something quieter and more enduring. He gave women space, relevance, and agency without announcing it as ideology.
In ‘Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala’, Shyamala (Sangita) carries the emotional and moral weight of the film while her husband drifts into various forms of escapism, from the enthusiastic entrepreneur to the delusional spiritualist. In ‘Midhunam’, Sulochana, portrayed by Urvashi, demands emotional presence and responsibility from her husband Sethumadhavan (Mohanlal). Her insistence on being seen and heard is unapologetic, and rightfully so.
