Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil, acclaimed for his recent release ‘Aavesham’, has chalked out the line of difference between Malayalam cinema and the rest of Indian cinema.

The actor, renowned for his roles in ‘Kumbalangi Nights’, ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’, ‘Malik’, ‘Joji’, and others, highlighted that Malayalam cinema still lacks substantial support from Ott platforms.

In a conversation with the YouTube channel Galatta Plus, Fahadh said: “The trade has grown for Malayalam cinema, but our cinema even now doesn’t have a solid back-up of an online streaming platform. We need to prove our mettle in theatres for any of these things to come in. Unlike the rest of India, where almost 80 per cent of films are sold even before the shoot is started, things are different for us.”

The actor added: “Our model is not that, we need to finish the film and release the film to demonstrate its potential before it gains traction on Ott platforms.

Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil, who is known for ‘Kumbalangi Nights’, ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’, ‘Malik’ and ‘Pushpa: The Rise’, is set to headline the upcoming Malayalam film ‘Karate Chandran’. The film also stars Malayalam actor Dileesh Pothan, who has earlier collaborated with Fahadh on ‘Kumbalangi Nights’ and ‘Maheshinte Prathikaaram’.

Film editor Kiran Das, who has worked with the actor in ‘Joji’, took to his Instagram and shared pictures of the actor from his Karate training session. Kiran also shared a picture of the film’s bound script.

He wrote in the caption, “Fahadh Faasil in and as Karate Chandran, Directed by Roy, Written by S Hareesh and Vinoy Thomas. More updates soon”.

‘Karate Chandran’ marks the third collaboration between Fahadh and Bhavana Studios. The production house has previously produced ‘Joji’ and ‘Kumbalangi Nights’, where in Fahadh Faasil played a major role.

Fans of Malayalam cinema are in for a treat as the director of the hit comedy-drama Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, Althaf Salim, is teaming up with two of the most talented and popular actors in the industry, Fahadh Faasil and Kalyani Priyadarshan, for his next project. The film, titled Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira which is said to be a romantic thriller, is expected to hit the screens on July 24, 2024.

The film marks the second collaboration between Althaf Salim and Kalyani Priyadarshan, who made her Malayalam debut with his 2020 film Varane Avashyamund. The actress, who is the daughter of veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan and actress Lissy, has been making waves in the South Indian film industry with her performances in films like Hello1, Chitralahari2, Hero3, and Maanaadu4. She won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut – South and the Siima Award for Best Female Debut – Malayalam for her role in Hello5.

Acclaimed filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan and popular actor-producer Kunchacko Boban are re-teaming for “Ariyippu” (“Declaration”), the first Indian film in Locarno’s international competition in 17 years.

The Malayalam-language film follows Hareesh (Boban) and Reshmi (Divya Prabha), an immigrant couple from Kerala working in a medical gloves factory near Delhi, who aspire to go abroad for a better life. During the Covid-19 lockdowns, when an old video resurfaces among the factory workers, it opens up a Pandora’s box that threatens the couple’s jobs and marriage.

Narayanan got the germ of the film’s idea from a newspaper article about a female bank employee who had approached the Mumbai high court demanding a “declaration” clarifying that a video which had been circulated in her bank was a look alike and not her. That idea travelled with Narayanan for a while until he hit upon the premise about a migrant couple working in a gloves factory.

As we have mentioned many times before, and particularly in our specific list about the genre, India produces some of the best crime films nowadays. Mahesh Narayana continues the legacy with another epic in “Malik”

The story unfolds in non-linear fashion, starting with a rather impressive lengthy single shot scene that introduces the main character, Ali Sulaiman, the godfather of Ramadally, a small Indian coastal town where Muslims and Christians live peacefully side by side. Something is obviously amiss however, and the pilgrimage trip he is about to undertake is taking place in tension, with his politician friend, Aboobacker, his wife Roseline, and his daughter, feeling the pressure on a number of levels. Eventually he is imprisoned, and the narrative continues with a series of flashbacks that show his path from a lowly Muslim, to a smuggler, to a local leader, with his relationship with David,...

Mollywood'Malik', directed by Mahesh Narayanan, is widely perceived to be based on the 2009 Beemapally police firing, and has been criticised by some for certain representations.Binu KarunakaranThe fantasy of violence, real or imagined, carried out by 'fanatical Muslims' in crisis events has always inspired mainstream filmmakers. It's a familiar trope that opens gates for patriotic or secular heroes to stage a timely rescue or revenge. Rarely do they question the complicity of the state that engages in the persecution of individuals, and the endless loop of violent and dehumanising consequences it generates. In that sense, and by way of excellence of craft and performances, Malik, directed by Mahesh Narayanan, widely perceived to be based on the 2009 Beemapally police firing, rests a notch above others. It squarely pins the blame on the state apparatus, which wants to finish off a small-time-don-turned-benevolent-patriarch who operates outside the law, while exposing the nexus of...
