What is the most iconic cameo in the history of Malayalam cinema?

For me, it's a tie between Summer in Bethlehem's >!Niranjan (Mohanlal)!< and >!Renji Panicker!< in Premam and >!Mohanlal!< in Manu Uncle.

Conspiracy theories (Not related to S€x/Love) in Malayalam cinema
  1. Kerala's biggest star made leaked premam theatre print to protect his Box office records.
  2. There are two lobbies in Malayalam cinema. One based on Trivandrum and another one based on Cochin. The cochin lobby is full of drag addicts and trivandrum lobby is full of casteist raci$t people
  3. Biggest star-actor in Malayalam cinema lying about his Box office collections and claiming several 50 CR+ movies but he doesn't have one

Romans (2013) is one of the best satires in Malayalam cinema post 2000.

Romans is usually regarded as a screwball type of comedy just like the film it borrows its core plot from, We're No Angels(1989) (which is comparatively very forgettable imo). But I think the Kunchacko - Biju Menon starrer is also a quite brilliant satire of religion especially Christianity.

It was quite refreshing to see a Malayalam comedy film take digs at a religious establishment quite liberally. Almost all the priest/achan characters in the movie were deeply flawed characters unlike the "all knowing advisor" we were used to seeing in previous Malayalam movies. Though film doesn't explicitly disown religion/ Christianity to prevent alienating the audiences too much, but even the final shot where the two are canonized and statues erected for them, showed the film's utter irreverance for blind belief. Because of this, in my opinion Romans was a much more subtle and effective takedown of religion and blind beliefs than movies like PK (2014).

Another aspect of the movie I loved was the characterisation of the Poomala village inhabitants. Even though they appear like the foolish simpletons frequenting old Satyan Anthikad movies and later movies like Kunjiramayanam (2015) at first sight, Poomala inhabitants also have a much darker side to them as shown in the opening sequence and the climax. So, they're stupid not because of the age-old "villagers are innocent" cliche but because they're blinded by their deeply held beliefs which is consistent with the themes of the film.

Despite being the second highest grosser of 2013 behind the phenomenon that was Drishyam, I think Romans is quite forgotten ( probably due to lack of big stars ), which is quite unfortunate imo.

What is your opinion about the movie?

What do you wish Malayalam cinema did differently?

Not sure if this has been asked here before. Personally, I wish Malayalam cinema would tone down the BGM... it's so fucking loud and unnecessary most of the time and really ruins the experience for me. Eg-Drishyam 2: an okay film that I would've enjoyed more without the serial style BGM. Also, dubbing just feels very unnatural to me... especially if the actor is a non malayali who can't speak malayalam fluently.

Which decade was better for Malayalam cinema- 1980s or 1990s or 2010s

I personally feel that 1980s can be said as the best decade for Malayalam cinema. Great directors, great performances by actors etc(maybe biased). But the average movie quality was better in 2010s.

What are your thoughts on this?

Is there "Creative Accounting" in malayalam cinema too?

Hollywood accounting (also known as Hollywood bookkeeping) is the opaque or creative accounting methods used by the film, video, and television industry to budget and record profits for film projects. Expenditures can be inflated to reduce or eliminate the reported profit of the project, thereby reducing the amount which the corporation must pay in taxes and royalties or other profit-sharing agreements, as these are based on the net profit.

Why are rural locations and stories more prominent in Malayalam (and Tamil) cinema compared to Bollywood?

Seems like bollywood concentrates most of its stories in urban and foreign locations whilst the bulk of their viewers are rural. In Malayalam, I understand most of the talent comes from rural areas and hence stories based on their experiences

Hey can you guys help me find some of the best dressed charcters in Malayalam cinema ?.

[Serious] I was planning to do a scrapbook on the fashion choices of Malayalam film charcters. I know mollywood don't give a lot of shit on how the character's dress (exception s are there) . But there are some character s that dress pretty good .For example how Amala Akkineni dresses in Enta sooryapoothriku is pretty badass that makes her look different from the typical girl in 90s street. If you observe the fashion in movies like I do please do contribute or can ignore. No need to spread hate. ( also please don't come up with characters like Nazriya in trance and all,those are basic) .Also to make it clear I'm NOT asking about their off duty style,but as the characters they potray.

I wish malayalam cinema was more accessible to more of cinema lovers

I have recently started watching a lot more films with deeper interest and I have been watching mostly English language films. But having grown up watching Malayalam (which is a South Indian language) cinema, I have to say that I wish there were more film lovers who'd invest time and watch Malayalam films, and have discussions. The language barrier is real and context always helps, but when I watch DDL and he gives me goosebumps, I am reminded of several incredible performances by actors in Malayalam cinema. I really do think more people should check it out!!

Edit: May I also add a perhaps recognisable association with Malayalam? M Night Shyamalan comes from a Malayalee family and he was in Kerala lmao
