Thanks to Vipin who left a comment that reminded me that today marked the announcement of the Kerala State Film Awards for 2011:

Note that several of these films (Oomakkuyil Padumbol, Ivan Megharoopan, and Akasathinte Niram) did not get theatrical releases in 2011. Oomakkuyil Padumbol was released in February of this year. Akasathinte Niram is slated for release this week, July 20th, and I believe that Ivan Megharoopan will be released next week, on July 27th. And a note to the makers of all three of these films (and most especially Ivan Megharoopan) -- if you release your film to DVD without English subtitles you will make me cry.
