As we have covered more than half of 2015, we have picked
the best five Malayalam films in the year based on the quality of the films and
not on box-office reports. Though it was not a great year for mollywood as far
as quality is concerned, some of the better films which deserves to be watched
are listed below.(The ratings are strictly personal):
5.Chandrettan Evideya: This movie directed by Sidharth
Bharathan was a refreshing change from the Janapriyanayakan after a string of so called masala pot
boilers which was testing the patience of audience for a while. The highlights
of the movie were the unforced humour included in the narrative and the performance
of Anusree particularly in the climax sequence.
4. Premam: This film which was nothing more than the
compilation of three short films is placed at fourth position for the
stupendous packaging and fun filled treatment of director Alphonse Puthren which stimulated the nostalgic hormones in the
youth audience and reminded them of
their school and college days. And with the help of a strong technical team,
chart busrting music and spell bounding cinematography Premam wrote new box
office records, thanks to the rage created by the characters of Malar, George
and his friends and terrific comedy by Vinay Fort.
3. Nirnayakam: Directed by V K Prakash, this was a socially
thought provoking film which atleast deserved a hit status but got drowned in
Premam mania. Though not a perfect script by Bobby –Sanjay,perhaps the most
talented writers in Malayalam today, Nirnayakam is worth watching for the
message it was trying to convey and for the powerful performances by Prem
Prakash and NedumudiVenu.
2. Chirakodinja Kinavukal: This film ,the first cinema spoof
ever made in Malayalam film industry was one of its kind which entertains and
makes us think at the same time regarding the clichés followed in film industry
for years. Kudos to Listin Stephen, the producer of the film for supporting
this experimental initiative though the film had just an average run at the box
office.
1.Kumbasaram: directed by Aneesh Anwar is definitely the
better film among the Malayalam releases
we had this year which was emotionally heart breaking and thrilling
simultaneously ,socially relevant too. Jayasurya who played the role of a poor,
helpless father of a sick child gave perhaps the finest performance of this
year. Though a bit lagging at times Kumbasaram doesn’t deserve to be tanked at
the box office and had to satisfy as a torrent hit, the usual fate of these
type of movies.
