Sayahnam (Twilight) (90 mts)- 2000
Sayahnam is a silent protest- a protest impregnated with the gnawing inner pain of people with conscience. On one level, the film is a critical appraisal of left-wing posturing on the issue of nuclear armament in the subcontinent. On another, it portrays the conflict between the old and new order and the shift in moral perceptions in a world afflicted by globalization logistics. It is the filmmaker's aesthetic protest against the silence of the left-wing intellectuals in Kerala and elsewhere, who kept a selective silence on India's nuclear policy.

The events depicted are based on actual facts and because of the close proximity in time of real and the pictured incidents it indicates the audience the real problem and its aftereffects. The film ends disclosing the pitiable and ignoble 'sthithi' (state) of an average young family.
