Urumi rocks at international award fest again

Even after a year since its commercial release, it seems there's no stopping the Urumi juggernaut especially in the international award circuit.
The Prithviraj-starrer has bagged the Best Film Award at the recently concluded 11th Imagine India International Film Festival, Madrid with director Santhosh Sivan clinching the honours for the Best Director.
On its achievement especially in the international circuit, Santhosh says, "I feel the honours are coming because it is a film that tells an interesting, historical story with a visual angle and because of that language is not a barrier. It allows people to identify with it easily."
Malayalam films shined in this year's fest, in which 70 films were screened across four venues in the city, with Salim Kumar being chosen as the Best Actor. In addition to Urumi, the competition section had five films - Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Sanjay Nag's Memoirs in March, Bikramjit Gupta's Achal, Salim Ahmed's Adaminte Makan Abu and Rajesh Pillai's Traffic.
Incidentally, last year too Mollywood flick Veettilekkulla Vazhi bagged the Best Film Award with Dr Biju taking home the honours for Best Director.
