R. Sarath is an Indian film director and screenwriter working primarily in the Malayalam film industry. <SEP> The film stars Sreenivasan, Thampy Antony and Swetha Menon in the lead roles. Parudeesa(" Paradise") is a 2012 Malayalam – language Indian feature film written by Vinu Abraham and directed by national award- winning filmmaker R. Sarath. Like in his previous films, Sarath interweaves a complex theme in" Parudeesa" — that of conflict of belief, the perpetual disagreement between orthodox and unorthodox paths of religion. The film, set against the backdrop of a remote hillside hamlet, unravels the story of a priest and a verger. While the priest is still lost in the labyrinth of orthodoxy, verger has a very liberated outlook about religion, or rather life in general. The film captures the quintessential conflict flickered by the situation. Sreenivasan plays the Bishop while Thampy Antony appears as the Priest and Swetha Menon plays the role of a cook at the nearby convent. Noted comedian and actor Jagathy Sreekumar plays another full- length character," Parudeesa" being the last film he completed before the accident. The film released on 26 October 2012 and met with a mixed reaction. Reviews among major critics and parallel movie buffs have been positive but most online critics of mainstream cinema have given the film negative reviews. The film became controversial for inciting the clergymen in the film. In reply to the controversies created, Sarath said:" It ’s a baseless allegation that the film instigates an anti-religious propaganda. In fact" Parudeesa" is a film that glorifies Christ. It makes a jibe at the situation where religion supersedes everything else, even god. From the progressive ideologies of 60s and 70s we are going back to the perils of theocracy. The film attacks superstitions and regression from a pointblank position." Vinu Abraham Vinu Abraham says in a sense" Parudeesa" attempts to define faith. " We are trying to tell that despite all its external rigidity, religion, at its core, should be a progressive forum," says Vinu." Parudeesa" was produced by Thampy Antony under the banner of Kayal Films. It was mainly shot in Erumapra near Erattupetta and Vinu Abraham says it was more like a miracle to find the exact locale he visualised for the film. " We wanted a church that stands high on a mountainous terrain and got this ancient church that was established more than a century back by the missionaries. It was the first time a movie camera entered its premises," he says. Two national award- winning musicians composed music for the film.
