The Proposal | ദി പ്രൊപോസൽ (2022)

Indian International Film Tourism (IIFT) Conclave Award for The Proposal

25 March 2022

The Proposal movie earned the Cinematic Excellence Award among Malayalam films at the IIFTC (Indian International Film Tourism Conclave) 2023 awards ceremony for Indian films that are shot abroad and so open up new vistas of enjoyment and channels of business. The first Malayalam film shot entirely in Australia is The Proposal. The award's convenor, Anindya Dasgupta, stated that the goal of the award is to acknowledge and publicize The Proposal as the first Malayalam film to make such a claim. The Tamil film The Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, the Telugu film RRR, the Kannada film Raymo, and the Gujarati film Hoon Tari Heer all won honors.

The Proposal was released in 2022 on Saina Play OTT. Joe Joseph, the writer, and director of the film, who participated in the ceremony, said that the award received for this film, which was completed as an experimental film with a budget of less than five lakh rupees during the Covid era, was received with surprise and gratitude.

The protagonist arrives in Australia on a student visa and tries to find a Malayalee bride with a permanent visa from a matrimonial site in Kerala to live in the same country after the visa expires. Newcomers Joe Joseph, Anumodh Paul, Amara Raja, Clair Sara Martin, Suhas Pattathil, and Karthika Menon Thomas played key roles in the May 2022 release of the movie. At a time when the topic of the young generation leaving the country for other countries and other related topics is being debated, the narratives in this short film are very relatable to the audience.

The IIFTC Film Festival, which took place from October 12 to 14, attracted notable producers and filmmakers from Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, and other industries. Participants from the film boards of Serbia, Mauritius, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Poland, Kenya, Portugal, the UAE, Spain, the United States, France, Mauritius, and Kenya invited Indian film production businesses to their nations for profitable and ethical filmmaking. Imtiaz Ali, Kabir Bedi, R. Balki, and many other famous figures attended this year's events at the expo, which has been running for ten years. Ajay Thundathil is the movie's PR.
