Her maiden production, ''[[Jalamarmaram]]'', directed by T.K.

In 1999, this film took home the [[Kerala State Film Awards]] for Second Best Feature Film, Best Editor for [[Sreekar Prasad]] and Best Screenplay. Her second production, ''[[Sesham]]'', also directed by Kumar is an offbeat story about mental health and social insensitivity starring [[Jayaram]]. It won a number of awards including the Kerala State Award for Best Feature Film, Editing for Sreekar Prasad, Best Sound Recording, Best Story and a Special Jury Award for [[Jayaram]], the lead actor. Her third production, a thriller set almost entirely in an apartment elevator, ''[[Up & Down - Mukalil Oralundu]]'', directed by Kumar starring [[Indrajith Sukumaran]] and an ensemble cast, was released in 2013.
