Hitting all the right notes, the film laments the undermining of a civilisational tapestry that thrives on diversity
The Siddis, a community unrepresented in Indian cinema, is under the spotlight in Rhythm of Dammam, an exceptionally evocative, visually arresting film written and directed by Kerala-born, New York-based Jayan Cherian.
