Actor Nivin Pauly's 'Moothon' helmed by Geetu Mohandas is one of the most critically acclaimed films of recent times. After winning several awards in National and International Film Festivals, the movie has now bagged yet another prestigious award.

The movie bagged three awards at the New York Indian Film Festival, that was held recently. Nivin Pauly won the best actor award, Moothon won the best film and Sanjana Dipu won the best child actor award. New York Indian film festival began from July 24 and concluded on August 2, 2020.

Moothon' directed by Geetu Mohandas, is inarguably the first homosexual love story in Malayalam. The film followed the journey of a kid in search of her older sibling who left his hometown many years ago under mysterious circumstances. The bilingual film was shot mostly on the islands of Lakshadweep, where the story is based.

The movie starred Nivin Pauly, Rosshan, Sanjana Dipu, and Dileesh Pothan in lead roles. 'Moothon' marked Nivin's transformation into a versatile performer and gave out a bold statement, which was welcomed by the Kerala audience as well.
