Before he learned to animate, Rahul Riji Nair had never made a single frame of animation in his life.⁠
⁠
Four years later, he has 10,000 hand-drawn frames, a 14-minute film, and an India Gold Award to show for it.⁠
⁠
Kingara Kavyam is set in 17th-century Kochi. It follows Kappiri, a man brought from Africa to Kerala as a slave, and Kunjala, a local woman, two lives history barely wrote down. Rahul wanted to bring them back, so he built a 15-member team, learned a craft he'd never worked in before, and spent nearly four years doing it.⁠
⁠
The team almost went with 3D. They chose 2D instead and shaped every frame around Kerala's mural art so the film would carry the region's own visual memory, not borrow someone else's.⁠
⁠
That choice just won India Gold at the 28th DigiCon6 Asia Awards. Kingara Kavyam now heads to the international finals in Japan, representing India.⁠
⁠
This isn't Rahul's first recognition either. His debut feature, Ottamuri Velicham, won four Kerala State Film Awards. Kalla Nottam won the National Film Award for Best Malayalam Feature Film. He keeps choosing stories most people would call too small, too regional, or too hard to sell. They keep winning anyway.⁠
⁠
If you had four years and no experience in a craft you loved, would you still start?⁠
⁠
Save this for the next time someone tells you a story is "too niche" to matter. Send it to someone from Kerala who'd want to know their history; they just went to Japan.⁠

National Award-winning filmmaker Rahul Riji Nair has achieved a monumental milestone on the global animation stage! His critically acclaimed 2D animated short film, ‘Kingara Kavyam’ (Poem of the Enslaved), has won the coveted India Gold at the 28th DigiCon6 Asia Awards, earning the honor of officially representing India at the grand finals in Japan. 🇮🇳✨
A Visual Marvel Rooted in Kerala Mural Art:
Spanning roughly 14 minutes, Kingara Kavyam is a labour of love composed of over 10,000 painstakingly hand-drawn frames, drawing rich visual inspiration from traditional Kerala mural aesthetics.

Set against the backdrop of 17th-century colonial Cochin under Dutch rule, the film unearths a forgotten chapter of history—the African slave trade in Kerala and the enduring folklore of Kaapiri Muthappan. Through the lens of magical realism, it weaves a poignant, tender bond between Kappiri, an enslaved African man, and Kunjala, an underprivileged local woman, exploring how love, caste resilience, and the human spirit transcend brutal oppression.
Produced jointly by First Print Studios, Carmond Infinity, and Fairy Frames Productions, Kingara Kavyam was also officially selected for the South Asia Competition at AniMela 2026.
Having previously bagged the National Film Award for Kalla Nottam and the Kerala State Award for Ottamuri Velicham, director Rahul Riji Nair once again proves his versatile storytelling mastery and, this time, pushes Indian independent animation into the international spotlight.

Visual design for the comic was developed by Ram, whose approach to character design, inking, and colour was calibrated from the outset for consistency across a long run without sacrificing visual appeal. There’s a wide spectrum of influences at work too: the dynamic visual register of Western comics and the serialisation discipline of Japanese manga both shape and guide how the pages are constructed. But the story was always intended to be and feel Indian in its narrative, themes, and emotional register, the influences absorbed rather than imitated.Read the full article on our website.
