Take Off
The film was based on real-life incidents involving a group of Malayali nurses, who were captured by an extremist group in Iraq in 2014. Actor Parvathy’s performance in this editor Mahesh Narayan’s directorial debut was top class. Kunchacko Boban, Fahadh Faasil and everyone in the cast was also impressive.
Angamaly Diaries
The undersized casket is unable to contain the protruding arms of a dead body. And it is preventing people from finishing the funeral. Two characters, who are part of the narration, rushes to help. They break the arms of the dead person and rearrange it to fit the casket to everyone’s shock. Enough said. Watch it now, if you haven’t already. It is directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery and written by Chemban Vinod Jose.
Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum
This entire film is a brilliant piece of writing by Sajeev Pazhoor. And it is another gem from director Dileesh Pothan, who made his impressive debut with Maheshinte Prathikaaram last year. In the end, I felt this story was a fairytale, where a thief brings hope and strengthens the love between newlywed, who have been outcast by their families and struggling to make a living.
Solo
This anthology film can be touted as a milestone in the careers of director Bejoy Nambiar and actor Dulquer Salmaan
It narrates four different stories, which are connected by a thread called tragedy
Mayanadhi
Aashiq Abu’s directorial venture celebrates the true spirit of love in all its glory with naturalistic style. The writing by Syam Pushkaran and Dileesh Nair will make you fall in love with Mathan and Aparna (Tovino Thomas and Aishwarya Lekshmi)
Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol
It is the only film that stands out in Mohanlal’s films that released this year. It follows the life of a middle-aged couple, whose marriage in trouble and how they rediscover the romance in their life that was lost in mundane. It is fun and charming and aesthetically deals with the subject of infidelity.
Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela
The family drama is directed by Althaf Salim, who also co-wrote it with George Kora. The film introduced to us a brilliant actor Aishwarya Lekshmi, who we absolutely loved in Mayanadhi. It is a heart-warming film that revolves around a family, which is coming to terms with a shocking personal news.
Sakhavu
The first 30 minutes of the film is a riot until it goes into the flashback tracing the life of a popular communist party leader in Kerala
Nivin Pauly and Althaf Salim make sure they keep us laughing whenever they come together on the screen. The film based on the core principles of communist ideology try to explain what a comrade truly means. It is written and directed by Sidhartha Siva.
Ramaleela
The political thriller is directed by Arun Gopy and is written by Sachy. The film bore an eerie resemblance to actor Dileep’s real life. It has its moments and some good performances by the cast, coupled with good music provided by Gopi Sunder.
Tiyaan
The socio-political thriller is a tiresome watch in parts. But, it does engage the audience with its intent to make every frame of the film as intense as possible (even when the scenes did not need it). It is directed by Jiyen Krishnakumar and written by Murali Gopy, who can make a popular go-to villain of Malayalam commercial films.
