Atithi Daivo Bhava or The Sighting of a Sojourner
Animation Film DesignDark ComedySatireHumorMix-Media
A snake enters a traditional Keralite household, triggering chaos. But beyond the fear of the snake itself, the real conflict arises from differing beliefs on how to handle the situation. Some see the snake as sacred, others worry about the environment, and Ajja, the wise grandfather, believes it will leave on its own. The protagonist and his mother clash—he fears a snakebite, while she fears angering the serpent gods. As tensions rise, the film humorously explores how people’s strong beliefs can waver when faced with real challenges. Meanwhile, the snake remains a silent observer, unintentionally stirring up the entire neighborhood.
