Director Note: The film Randuper Chumbikkumbol (When two Kiss) is conceived on the
background of Kiss of Love Protest that started in Kerala in 2014 and partially spread to other states of India later. Kiss of Love started as a protest against moral policing.The film is around the theme of hegemonic sexual morality’s potential to determine the nature of relationships and its intervention in personal relationships. the film does not attempt to tell a story. Three shots of three situations are there. The cast and crew of the film are persons involved in Kiss of Love. The film is inspired by the story Oru Drishtantha Katha (A Moral Story) by the Malayalam writer M D Radhika.
