Director: NK Muhammed Koya  Actor: Kalabhavan Mani   Lena  Narayanan Nair  Release Date: 27/02/2015 Length: 102 Minutes Synopsis:

Challenging religion is a crime, but for a woman it becomes an unpardonable sin. Peeking into this veiled reality is Alif, the story of a woman who braves the outrage of patriarchy. Alif maps the lives of four generations of Muslim women, their plight and struggle for survival. Fathima, the lead character, is a deserted wife living with her mother and grandmother. Fathima's conservative life takes an unexpected spin when she challenges their Usthad, a religious scholar, at a public sermon. This causes a lot of outrage and her family is ostracised. The film shows Fathima's ensuing struggle.
