An Indian guy lacking any qualities to be a good partner emotionally manipulates the woman he loves, and they get together. That’s been the template for romance in the majority of Indian romantic movies. Girish A.D.’s Premalu doesn’t offer much more than that, and its extensive runtime is the final nail in the coffin. At least here, the main guy unironically accepts his mommy issues, and the girl is okay with it.

OpinionOnce upon a time, toxic love was extensively romanticised on screen. But today, with such narratives under scrutiny, there have been attempts to address the intricacies of toxic relationships.During an interaction for an interview, scriptwriter Sanjay (one half of the Sanjay-Bobby duo) spoke about how liberating it is to no longer see heroes slapping heroines in Malayalam cinema. There was a time when one ‘tight slap’ was mandatory in most films (especially family dramas) to ‘tame’ the heroine so that she would go back to complete the patriarchal happy family picture. But with the political correctness lens firmly fastened on films by social media, writers and filmmakers are thinking twice before sitting complacently on their conditioned belief systems. Once upon a time, love was extensively romanticised and lopsided on screen. There were many instances of toxic love being normalised, as well as celebrated, without question. But today, with such narratives under scrutiny,...

MollywoodThere is some brilliant scripting here, making a seemingly harmless practical joke appear so grave.CrisTo know the meaning of this title, you have to first read it properly. In English it isn't clear, the ‘L’s in 'Allu' can be read as the 'L' in 'love', but in Malayalam, it is the 'L' in 'all'. And 'Allu' means the nails thrown on the road to make a puncture. Ramendran is the name of the hero, played by Kunchacko Boban. And Ramendran keeps getting allu on his police jeep tyre. You should never judge a movie too soon. The first few minutes of Allu Ramendran look so disappointing that you might shake your head and fear that poor Kunchacko has gone and made yet another wrong choice. But when director Bilahari begins to cast away the poorly written comedy, coming from veterans like Salim Kumar and newer comedians like Dharmajan and Hareesh Kanaran,...

Of course, it’s not always true. But here’s a list of what we think are some of the best short films made in Malayalam cinema in 2018 that capture that spirit with their tight plots, witty stories, engaging tales and masterful filmmaking - all in 30 minutes or less! These films belong to different genres and the themes explore situations that are slice of life and extraordinary circumstances. While some of the films feature well-known actors, others have new faces. All of them, though, manage to retain your interest to the end. Midnight Run Directed by Remya Raj, it is the only Malayalam short to be selected in the Indian Panorama section of the recently concluded International Film Festival of India.
