Why there’s no score yet. A Filmi Score is the mean of our 0–100 readings and we don’t show one built on fewer than three. This film has 2 reviews on file — each row above shows the critic’s own rating where one exists. The score appears the Friday after enough reviews land.

What readers say

The Audience Score appears once three readers’ reviews have been read under the rubric — built from what people write, never from the rating numbers.

Synopsis

Celluloid chronicles the life of J. C. Daniel, the pioneer of Malayalam cinema, whose passion drives him to create Vigathakumaran, the region’s first film. Facing social prejudice, financial ruin, and personal loss, Daniel’s struggle for artistic recognition becomes a moving tribute to the birth of cinema in Kerala.
