Career
With a theatre-film family background (his actor father used to co-own a theatre troupe), Lijo started his career by making short films and was one of the finalists of the PIX Short Film Festival 2007. He idolises the works of film makers Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, K. G. George, Padmarajan and Akira Kurosawa. He directed his first feature Nayakan in 2010. It revolved around a Kathakali artist who joins the underworld to take revenge on those who killed his family and destroyed his life. The film, that effectively juxtaposed the beauty of a classical art form with the formidability of a powerful emotion, was praised by critics but failed at the box office. His next venture, City of God, used hyperlink cinema as its narrative structure, and was another critical and artistic success. However, the box office fate of this film was even worse, as it was pulled from theatres just days after its release. City of God was one of the first films in the category of "New Generation" Malayalam cinema, although the trend was just being recognised during the same year. Had it been released a little later, moviegoers and analysts feel the film would have received more critical and box office success.
His third movie Amen was released in 2013. With actors like Indrajith Sukumaran, Fahad Fasil, Swathy Reddy and Kalabhavan Mani delivering exemplary performances in the film, it was Lijo's first commercial success and drew in rave reviews. His fourth project titled Double Barrel was a comic thriller. The movie featured actors Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran, Arya, Sunny Wayne and Asif Ali.
His latest project was Angamaly Diaries , a black comedy cloaked within a gangster plot that revolves around the locale of Angamaly . The film , scripted by popular actor Chemban Vinod Jose had 86 new faces playing lead roles . The film that was made with a meagre budget of 3 crores was a critical as well as commercial success. Anurag Kashyap's mention that Angamaly Diaries is his film of the year point out to how refreshingly new the film is.
