National Award winning veteran Malayalam filmmaker KG George passes away
Obituary
77-year-old veteran Malayalam filmmaker K.G. George died on September 24 at an old age home in Kakkanad on the outskirts of Kochi. He was born in Pathanamthitta in 1946 and completed his diploma from the Film Institute of India in Pune. He made a series of critically acclaimed films during his nearly three decade long career, winning several Kerala State Film Awards and the J.C. Daniel Award instituted by the Kerala State Government. His first film as a director 'Swapnadanam' was a commercial success and a significant achievement. He consistently strayed away from tried-and-tested song-and-dance sequences to discuss problems faced in daily life.
