Shane Nigam and Nimisha Sajayan's romantic flick Eeda hit screens amidst huge expectations on the pairing of two of the most talented youngsters in Mollywood. The movie is written and directed by National Award-winning editor B Ajithkumar and co-produced by Rajiv Ravi's Collective Phase One.

The first look posters and trailers of the movie were trending on social media platforms due to the stunning on-screen chemistry of the lead pair and the realistic depiction of scenes. The ultra-realist portrayal of love and violence was hailed by viewers.

Eeda follows the romantic journey of a young couple in a time of life-threatening political unrest in rural Kerala.

The movie unfolds in the backdrop of a highly inflammable political backdrop of Kannur district, Kerala. Kannur, a place known for its sensitive political climate and reports of frequent political murders, plays a crucial role in the movie.

Even the title, 'Eeda' is derived from the colloquial usage means 'Evide' which stands for the English word 'here'.
