About the film & creative process

Co-written and co-directed by Sreejith Chandran and Aravind V.K., the project grew from an anniversary-gift idea by Jay Menon. Personal stories and photographs became the starting point for scenes developed using Google Flow, bringing a familiar family story into an imaginative cinematic form.

Aravind’s contribution spanned direction, AI prompt development, creative coordination, and production supervision. The film was conceived as a personal celebration of twenty-five years together, with technology supporting the warmth and emotion of the story.
