BEST 5 MALAYALAM MOVIES OF 2013

More than 150 movie released in the year 2013. The selection of best 5 was very easy this time. Most of the movie were mediocre and below average but the best 5 movie were awesome.  The list is not in any particular order.

DRISHYAM It is the top grosser and highly appreciated family thriller of the year 2013. Jeethu Joseph’s magical story and direction with Mohanlal’s top class performance. Don’t miss this movie!!!

PHILLIPS AND THE MONKEY PEN A rare genre in Malayalam cinema nowadays, yes movie based on kids. Perfectly directed by debutants Rojin ans Shanil. Superb acting by lead cast(talented kids) , supported by nice camera work and music. Easily one the best in recent time.

MEMORIES is a suspense thriller  again by Jeethu Joseph, one of the best performance by Pritviraj. It makes you guess till the end. An edge of seat thriller.

SHUTTER is the directorial debue by Joy Mathew. One of the best thriller in recent times. Awesome performances from leading cast. Never miss this!!!

MUMBAI POLICE Rossan Andrews again back in track after his unsuccessfull Casanova. Shocking thriller and theme very much new to Malayalam audience. A brave effort from Pritviraj. Writer duo Bobby Sanjay Proves again they are the best among new age writers.

I strongly recommend all the best 5 movies to all. Don’t ever miss.

BEST 5 MALAYALAM MOVIES OF 2010

90 odd movies released in 2010, and the year turning out to be very disappointing. Actually there are no must watch kind of release. Very few movies can be considered as one time watch apart from these listed 5.

COCKTAIL : Remake of butterfly on a wheel and yes very well adapted and executed movie. Best performance from lead cast jayasurya and anoop menon. Gripping and edge of seat thriller.

PRANCHIYETTAN AND THE SAINT: Renjith with mammooty and simple story told in very interesting manner. Hilarious performance from Innocent and Jagathy Sreekumar.

MUMMY AND ME: Jeethu Joseph’s family drama which had Urvashi in lead role along with Archana kavi. Simple story told with comedy and sentiments.

ELSAMMA ENNA ANKUTTY: Lal jose’s one of the best. Ann Augustine in title role and Kunjako in his best form. Total entertainer.

BEST ACTOR: a story about the dreams of a school teacher to become a movie actor and his experiences persuing it. A very well executed drama. Mammooty’s top performances along with Nedumudi venu, Lal and Salim kumar.

The hyped star studded movies like 

DRONA 2010, 

THANTHONI, 

INGHOST HOUSE INN, 

PRAMANI, 

PAPI APPACHA, 

ALEXANDER THE GREAT, 

ANWAR,

SHIKKAR were above average.

                                              ENJOY!!!
