'And The Oskar Goes To' reminds Ranjith Sankar of his debut film ‘Passenger’

Filmmaker Ranjith Sankar walked down his memory lane after watching the Tovino Thomas starrer 'And The Oskar Goes To.' The filmmaker said that the movie reminds him of his initial days in cinema, when he was trying hard to make his first directorial debut, 'Passenger.' Ranjith's directorial debut was released in 2009, starring actors Sreenivasan, Dileep and Mamta Mohandas.


Showbiz is definitely a beautiful space to dream for, but not all become fortunate to reach there. Even though a small number of people are fortunate to become an overnight sensation, a good number of people have strived and struggled too hard to make their debut. The recently Salim Ahamed directorial 'And The Oskar Goes To' is hence the real story of many movie aspirants who have tried their luck, succeeded or failed.

Taking to his social media handle, Ranjith Sankar wrote, "And The Oskar Goes To' reminded me of my passenger days and much much more. Congrats Salim Ahamed and team!"
