Angamaly Diaries

In the vibrant town of Angamaly, where tradition dances with the pulse of modern life, a group of young friends navigates the complexities of friendship, love, and ambition against a backdrop of local culture. “Angamaly Diaries” follows the story of a group of five friends—Vivek, a charismatic yet troubled aspiring filmmaker; Riya, a fiercely independent artist with dreams of brewing a revolution; Harris, the compassionate caretaker of his family’s legacy; Meera, a passionate social worker fighting for the voiceless; and Prakash, the jokester whose carefree attitude masks deep-seated insecurities.

The narrative unfolds as they prepare for the annual Thrissur Pooram festival, a time steeped in tradition and communal joy, but also marred by the pressure of expectations.

Her journey of self-discovery takes her to unexpected places, deepening her bond with the others while challenging the status quo. Meanwhile, Harris juggles family obligations and his aspirations of becoming a social entrepreneur. Meera’s efforts to uplift marginalized communities push her towards dangerous confrontations, testing her resolve and the strength of her friendships.

As the festival approaches, tensions rise: secrets are revealed, ambitions clash, and the ties that bind them are put to the test. The group must confront the reality of adulthood and the inevitable choices that drive them apart or draw them closer together. “Angamaly Diaries” is a poignant exploration of youth, the bittersweet nature of dreams, and the power of collective resilience—capturing the spirit of a town pulsating with life, where every diary entry brings a new revelation and every friendship tells a story.
