| Abstract: | This paper explores the rich blend of global and regional styles in the Malayalam film Anandabhadram (2005), directed by Santosh Sivan. The film has its roots firmly planted in Kerala's art traditions and folklore but derives stimuli from foreign film practices as well, making it one which is transcultural in nature with its own visual and narrative style. The analysis explores that by using regional mythology, temple mural paintings, and ritualistic performances in conjunction with Gothic horror and fantasy, Anandabhadram effectively treads the middle ground between traditional storytelling and international cinematic language. The paper discusses the fusion by not only rewriting indigenous aesthetics for a modern audience but also presenting a new context to visual storytelling in fantasy and horror films beyond the confines of Eurocentric paradigms. The paper draws on theories of transculturality (Wolfgang Welsch), hybridity and the Third Space (Homi Bhabha), and visual culture (W. J. T. Mitchell) to examine the visual and narrative strategies of the film that represent cultural hybridity. The study contends that Anandabhadram builds a 'third space’ of cinema that operates beyond the binarism of culture, developing a dialogic interaction between the global and the local. |
