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.
