Men had the tharavadu ’s single TV, monopolizing the nightly Ramayana serial. But women had the Vanitha Cinema. Once a month, a travelling projectionist named Kunjachan would arrive on his vallam (canoe), carrying a 16mm print of a new Malayalam film. The screen would be tied between two coconut palms. The generator would cough to life, its oily smell mixing with the scent of night jasmine.
