'August
Cinema',
which
is
headed
by
Shaji
Nadesan,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
Santhosh
Sivan
and
Arya,
has
had
a
credible
outing
in
Malayalam
cinema,
so
far.
They
have
always
made
it
a
point
to
give
quality
films
that
would
transcend
in
the
times
to
come.
Their
latest
project
Darwinte
Parinamam
directed
by
Jijo
Antony
of
Konthayum
Poonulum
fame,
has
hit
the
theatres
today.
Considering
the
track
record
of
this
banner,
the
viewers
are
sure
to
get
a
quality
film.
Here
is
a
list
of
films
which
has
been
produced/distributed
by
August
Cinema
which
stand
as
a
testimony
to
their
credibility
in
project
selections.
Urumi
(2011)
'August
Cinema'
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
debut.
Urumi,
which
was
their
first
production
venture
was
a
film
made
under
a
huge
budget.
The
film
directed
by
Santhosh
Sivan
did
went
on
to
win
much
appreciation
from
various
quarters.
Indian
Rupee
(2011)
Indian
Rupee
had
vintage
Ranjith
helming
the
project
and
'August
Cinema'
rightly
decided
to
produce
this
film.
The
film
probably
reinvented,
Prithviraj
the
actor.
His
portrayal
of
JP
was
sublime
giving
the
character
a
different
dimension.
Indian
Rupee
went
on
to
win
the
Kerala
State
award
for
Best
Film
and
National
award
for
Best
Malayalam
film.
Sapthamashree
Thaskaraha
(2014)
A
quality
film
with
a
quality
storyline.
There
were
areas
of
experimentation
in
the
film,
especially
in
the
climax
sequences,
which
required
the
backing
of
a
credible
production
house
like
'August
Cinema'.
They
were
right
in
their
assumption
and
this
Anil
Radhakrishna
Menon
directorial
went
on
to
make
it
big
in
the
box
office.
Lukka
Chuppi
(2015)
Lukka
Chuppi
easily
features
in
the
most
underrated
films
of
2015.
The
film
didn't
make
it
big
at
the
box
office,
but
it
surely
has
registered
a
cult
fan
following
after
its
CD/DVD
release.
August
Cinema
distributed
this
film
to
the
theatres.
Double
Barrel
(2015)
Forget
about
its
performance
at
the
box
office,
this
film
is
definitely
a
gamechanger
in
Malayalam
cinema.
An
experimental
stuff
by
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
that
explored
the
craziness
of
film-making.
Kudos
to
August
Cinema
for
producing
this
project,
which
is
definitely
a
movie
that
released
much
ahead
of
its
time.
'August
Cinema' was
originally
established
in
the
year
2010
when
they
started
off
with
Malayalam
film
Urumi,
directed
by
Santhosh
Sivan.
It
was
during
Double
Barrel
that
Tamil
actor
Arya
joined
the
team
of
producers.
They
have
been
an
active
player
in
production
and
distribution
of
Malayalm
films.
Apart
from
producing
projects
with
Prithviraj
in
lead
roles,
they
have
also
produced
films
like
Kadal
Kadannoru
Maathukkutty
which
had
Mammootty
doing
the
main
role.
Incidentally,
their
next
production
venture
after
Darwinte
Parinamam
is
Anuraga
Karikkin
Vellam,
which
has
Asif
Ali
and
Biju
Menon
in
the
lead
roles.
Let's
wish
them
all
the
best
and
hope
that
their
association
with
good
projects
continue.
