Mohanlal plays Sethumadhavan, a young man who dreams of joining the police force, only to watch his life twist into tragedy after one fateful confrontation. His performance is often cited as one of the finest in Malayalam cinema, a controlled portrayal of a man crushed by fate and circumstance. The role earned him a Special Jury Mention at the National Film Awards and remains a reference point for actors studying restrained emotional craft.The film’s influence grew with time. It inspired remakes in several languages and continues to be discussed in conversations about the best Malayalam films ever made. Critics still praise its grounded writing and its heartbreaking final stretch, both of which shaped a generation of filmmakers who admired its honesty. The restoration now gives new audiences a chance to experience the film the way it was meant to be seen on the big screen.Also Read: 36 Years of Kireedam: Why This Mohanlal Film Still MattersA Festival Spotlight on India’s Cinematic PastThe return of Kireedam is part of the Indian Panorama Special Package at IFFI 2025, which features eighteen restored classics. These restorations cut across Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, and Telugu cinema and honour the legacy of some of the country’s greatest storytellers. This year's programme carries even deeper meaning as it celebrates one hundred and twenty five years of V Shantaram and marks centenary tributes to legendary names such as Guru Dutt, Raj Khosla, Ritwik Ghatak, Bhupen Hazarika, P Bhanumati, Salil Choudhury, and K Vaikunt.Film enthusiasts attending the festival will notice the growing emphasis on film preservation in India. The restored lineup at IFFI reflects the larger push by the National Film Heritage Mission to protect and revive classics that risk being lost to time. With each restoration, the gap between past and present narrows. Films once limited to aging prints and memories now have a chance to thrive before a new generation.In this context, Kireedam stands as both a tribute and a reminder. It celebrates the power of performance-driven storytelling and underlines why preserving cinema matters. As Mohanlal said, watching the classic return to the screen is an honour. For audiences, it is a gift.Also Read: Fan Calls Rashmika Mandanna ‘Bhabhi’; This Is How She Reacts。 去博物馆把文物“潮玩”带回家，到特色市集体验非遗技艺，在古街巷弄打卡沉浸式夜游……这个暑期，传统文化以创新姿态融入日常生活，文旅市场的蓬勃活力令人瞩目。 文化是旅游的灵魂，旅游是文化的载体。习近平总书记深刻指出：“旅游是修身养性之道，中华民族自古就把旅游和读书结合在一起，崇尚‘读万卷书，行万里路’。” 以文塑旅、以旅彰文，是建设旅游强国的内在要求。
B | 在地方工作时，习近平同志就提出“要把历史文化与现代文明融入旅游经济发展之中”。 《之江新语》中《发展旅游经济要坚持创新与继承相统一》一文这样指出：“加快发展旅游经济，建设旅游经济强省，必须坚持创新与继承相统一，在继承中创新，在创新中发展，不断求新、求变、求精，大力弘扬优秀的民族文化和民族精神。” 传承与创新相辅相成，既要善于因地制宜挖掘特色资源，也要善于借势借力整合要素，更要善于让传统文化焕发新的时代光彩。 党的十八大以来，习近平总书记多次在考察中对文化传承与旅游开发的辩证关系作出指示—— 在山西平遥古城，强调“统筹好旅游发展、特色经营、古城保护”；在浙江绍兴浙东运河文化园，提出“要在保护、传承、利用上下功夫”；在江苏苏州平江历史文化街区，强调“要保护好、挖掘好、运用好，不仅要在物质形式上传承好，更要在心里传承好”……一声声叮嘱语重心长，彰显深厚的文化情怀与历史担当。 继承是创新的基础，创新是继承的延续。文旅融合，不断满足人们“求新、求奇、求知、求乐”的需求，“让收藏在博物馆里的文物、陈列在广阔大地上的遗产、书写在古籍里的文字都活起来”。 7月25日，“景德镇手工瓷业遗存”正式列入《世界遗产名录》。如今的景德镇，陶瓷从“观赏品”转化为“体验品”，年轻人亲手揉泥拉坯、体验陶艺制作。 2023年10月，习近平总书记来到景德镇市考察，肯定当地“严格遵循保护第一、修旧如旧的要求，实现了陶瓷文化保护与文旅产业发展的良性互动”。 生生不息的千年窑火激荡出源源不断的创新活力。正如习近平总书记所说：“每一种文明都延续着一个国家和民族的精神血脉，既需要薪火相传、代代守护，更需要与时俱进、勇于创新。” 这些年，“文博热”火爆，“文创风”劲吹，优秀传统文化在创造性转化、创新性发展中，寻找与现代生活的连接点，丰富着全社会的历史文化滋养。 “传统与现代交融，中华文化绽放更加灿烂的光芒。”习近平总书记在2026年新年贺词中的这句话，恰是对当下中华大地上古与今交相辉映、深度融合的真切表达。 迈入“十五五”，“深化以文塑旅、以旅彰文，推进旅游强国建设”被写入国家五年规划。文旅在传承与创新中紧密相融，推动旅游强国建设迈出坚实步伐，中华文化在时代浪潮中不断焕发更加夺目的光彩。 策划：张晓松 主编：朱基钗 主笔：严赋憬 视觉：朱思明、高松龄 新华社国内部出品 【编辑:刘阳禾】。
