One of the leading lights of the New Indian Cinema, Adoor Gopalakrishnan made
his debut film, 'Swayamavaram' (One's Own Choice) in 1972 and it marked the
beginning of a new era in Malayalam cinema.

He has won the covetable British Film Institute Award (BFI) for ‘Elippathayam’-
Rat-trap for the most original and imaginative film of 1982. The International
Film Critics Prize has gone to him six times successively. His films have been
shown in every important festival around the world. In recognition of his
contribution to Cinema, the French Govt. has honoured him with the title,
Commander of the Order of Arts & Letters (2004). In 2005 he received the Dada
Phalke Award  India’s highest honour for Cinema. In 2006, he was chosen for the
top civilian recognition, Padma Vibhushan.
