Malayalam film "2018: Everyone is a Hero" has been chosen as India's official entry for the 2024 Oscars, marking the fourth time a Malayalam movie has been selected for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The film, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, is set against the backdrop of the devastating 2018 Kerala floods and pays tribute to the people who came together to overcome the catastrophe. It stands out for its technical excellence, empathetic narrative approach, and portrayal of the resilience of the people. The film's selection brings double delight to actor Tovino Thomas, who was recently honored as Best Asian Actor for his performance in the movie. However, the film has faced criticism for its underrepresentation of Muslim characters and female characters in prominent roles within the rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
