#1983 MALAYALAM MOVIE SUBTITLE DRIVERS#
Who wins and who loses? Does it ever matter?Įssential viewing during lockdown times, this brilliant film gives great insight into the minds of a number of people, right from doctors to the ambulance drivers who came together to control the spread of the deadly Nipah Virus in Kerala.
What begins with just two people (Ayyappan and Koshi) escalates quickly, dragging everyone around, right from their respective families to the entire village, into a quicksand of male egos. This modern-day Western is a clash of titans unlike any other. Trance demands our complete attention, with every viewing leading to newer theories. This trippy psychological drama is the concoction we get when an ambitious but broken man mixes religion with drugs, aided by corporate money power. And that works because any one of us could be the guy committing the crime the film’s based on. It’s not preachy, neither does it pick sides. Vikrithy, starring Soubin Shahir and Suraj Venjaramoodu, is a cautionary tale about the misuse of social media.
Deceptively deep and touching, most of the film’s main characters deserve their own films. Though the film requires a certain amount of knowledge about Malayalam cinema to enjoy it thoroughly, this feel-good rom-com is a Malayali’s love letter to all things Madras, classic 90’s cinema and Shobana, of course. But when a spurned lover attacks her by throwing acid, her dreams risk being compromised. This sensitive drama is about Pallavi (Parvathy) who dreams of becoming a pilot from her teenage. Instead of the Montagues and the Capulets, here we get two star-crossed lovers torn between the extreme right wing politics of Anand’s (Shane Nigam) family and the hardcore leftist values of Aishwarya’s. This “hyper local” gangster drama, with a cast consisting entirely of first-timers, is an excellent ode to Goodfellas, the town and people of Angamaly, elaborate single shots and some Kerala-style pork curry (with Chinese potatoes).Īnother film set in politically volatile North Kerala is this modern-day interpretation of Romeo And Juliet. Set in football-crazy North Kerala, this deeply moving drama takes us into the lives of a local football club manager ( Soubin Shahir) and his Nigerian forward after an injury forces both of them into an unlikely friendship. So, when the girl he dumped returns with a high-paying job and an offer to move to Germany, she becomes his golden ticket. He wants to get rich quick but hard work is never an option. This comedy, staring Fahadh Faasil, is about a wily nobody named Prakashan who prefers being called PR Akash.
