about us

Kavya Film Company

More than merely a production company, Kavya Film Company is tucked away in the center of Kerala, India. We are an enthusiastic group of storytellers that create enchantment with film that knows no boundaries or tongues. We were founded on the firm conviction that stories have the ability to move people, and we have made a name for ourselves in the Indian film business, especially in the dynamic realm of Malayalam cinema.

At Kavya Film Company, we think that movies are a great way to start discussions, pique people’s interests, and create bonds. Our goal is to make movies that provoke thought and provide opposing viewpoints while still being aesthetically pleasing.

We took a risk in 2019 when we produced the highly regarded American movie After Midnight. This global endeavor served as the foundation for our commitment to excellent storytelling across all geographies. Our period epic Mamangam, which enthralled viewers and solidified our dedication to presenting the rich fabric of Kerala’s culture and tradition, marked the beginning of our Malayalam voyage.

Since then, we’ve never shied away from pushing the boundaries and providing viewers with a wide range of captivating stories. Every movie, from the gripping suspense thriller Night Drive to the endearing family drama Malikappuram, embodies Kavya’s commitment to emotional nuance and creative quality.

We achieved unprecedented success in 2023 with Chaver and 2018: Everybody is a Hero. The latter proved our steadfast dedication to pushing the limits of narrative when it not only became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time but also won the coveted title of India’s Official Entry to the Oscars.
