The film is a comprehensive coverage of Nair's extraordinary life journey.From Trivandrum to film studios in Mumbai to finally ending up as a film collector in Pune, from an aspiring filmmaker to a strict archivist, various facets of his life have been captured beautifully. Films mean much more to Nair than entertainment. "I understand the world and people better through cinema" says he. If you feel the same, don't miss out on this one.
Ratings:4/5 Review By: Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express
Shivendra Singh Dungarpur's beautifully detailed documentary is not just the story of Nair and how he built up the National Film Archive. It is also the story of Indian cinema, and it is wholly appropriate that Celulloid Man releases today.Celluloid Man feels a trifle long, but then its arc has necessarily to be long, because it covers so many decades and filmmakers and filmmaking. It is a true labour of love. Give it some of your time.
