A note of appreciation to the impeccable taste of the Kerala audience, award-winning actress Shabana Azmi said the International Film Festival of Kerala remains one of the most important film festivals in the country because of the tradition of appreciating art in the state.

Shabana Azmi, who was the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the 29th IFFK at Nishagandhi on Friday, was speaking after being honoured at the festival by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for her contributions to Indian Cinema. "Kerala has a remarkable tradition of appreciating art. It is always a joy to receive the love of audiences here," said the actor.

Expressing her gratitude to the viewers upon completing 50 years in cinema, Azmi acknowledged the contributions of many technicians who worked behind the scenes in her films. She also shared memories of attending the first-ever IFFK, organised in Kozhikode in 1994.

T'Puram: Police detained a youth, who booed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan when he reached the Nishagandhi auditorium to inaugurate the 29th IFFK. The incident happened when Pinarayi got down from his car and was walking to the venue.

Police sources said the youth was identified as Romeo Raj, of Vanchiyoor.

Understanding Menorrhagia

It's universal. It's monthly. Most of the time, it makes you feel like you may puke your guts out and on rare occasions, it calls for a truce. But unlike the white flag of truce, this visitor is blood red—quite literally. That time of the month, Code Red, menstruation, or simply, a period. While the age-old rulebook deems up to seven days as the 'normal' duration of Aunty Red's visit—with a flow that decreases by the day—there are some cases where the volume increases on a continuum.
