Over the past few years, the Malayalam film industry—often lovingly called Mollywood—has transformed from a regional powerhouse into a benchmark for quality pan-Indian cinema.

Whether you’re a thriller junkie ( Thalavan ), a horror fan ( Bramayugam ), or someone who just wants a good cry-laugh ( Aavesham ), the recent lineup has something for you.
