Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on July 03, 1941)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Adoor Gopalakrishnan! Your films have gracefully aged like fine wine—complex, nuanced, and always leaving us craving more. From your iconic masterpiece "Elippathayam" in 1981 that captured human nature with subtle brilliance, you've consistently reminded audiences why cinema is truly an art form.

With multiple National Film Awards decorating your shelves (we hope there's still room!), you continue inspiring filmmakers everywhere. May this birthday bring as much joy as critics showering praise on opening night—and may life never trap you like a rat caught in one of Unni's mousetraps!

Cheers to another timeless year ahead!
