Malayalam movies are my weakness. I am always proud of what excellent talent we have in the industry, be it directors with attention to detail or scriptwriters who can juggle reality bitten characters and bigger than life heroes or actors with effortless acting capabilities. If you are done watching the Best Malayalam films on Netflix,<\/a><\/span> here’s more for you. There are small town dramas, medical thrillers and feel-good films now streaming on Prime.<\/p>\n PS: The translation of the titles given in the brackets is my own and not the official title.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the biggest hits that won hearts this year is Madhu C. Narayanan\u2019s Kumbalangi Nights<\/em> set in a small fishing village, Kumbalangi, near Kochi. It is penned down by Shyam Pushkaran and follows a dysfunctional family of four brothers (two good-for-nothings, one dancer, one student). The character arcs are brilliant, laced with humour and strengthened with striking performances. \u00a0It is one of the few films that does not celebrate the toxic male and shines light on mental illness, ego, body shaming and sibling rivalry without being preachy. Shane Nigam, Soubin Shahir and Fahadh Fazil give a standing-ovation-worthy performance. An absolute gem!1.Kumbalangi Nights (2019)<\/h2>\n
