MOHANLAL
Inaugurating MBIFL '26
The MBIFL will be inaugurated by one of India’s greatest screen legends, the pride of Kerala and a hero for all seasons — Mohanlal.
The festival opens at Kanakakkunnu as our ‘complete actor’ lights the ceremonial lamp, adding his unique grace to this grand literary celebration.
We live in a post speed world
A world where exotic fruits arrive home in 10 minutes, but traditional recipes are being left behind.
A world where we can travel faster than the speed of sound, but so can a life-threatening virus.
We can find soulmates with a single swipe, but loneliness is growing into a global epidemic.
15-second reels make us question our worth, yet in rural India, a 15-year-old influencer builds his family’s first real home.
AI-generated content helps businesses save time, but it costs the earth billions of litres of water.
You can download any book in the world, but you may not have the time to read it.
Pace is our best friend. Pace is our worst enemy.
Come, pause, and reflect on The Paradox of Pace at MBIFL 2026.
