The surging new wave of Malayalam Cinema
The Real life characters, day-to-
day situations of Gen-X,
simple problems of daily life;
these are the essential
ingredients of the new-age
Malayalam cinema that is
making waves not only in
Kerala but also in both the
Telugu-speaking States. So
much so that non-Malayalees
in cities like Hyderabad,
Visakhapatnam and
Vijayawada are eagerly
waiting for a new Malayalam
movie to be released every
weekend
It is not a common sight to see
people making a beeline at movie
theatres and multiplexes as early as
8 am on a weekend. If one assumes
that they are waiting to get tickets
for a big Telugu star’s movie, then
he is wrong.
This crowd is in queue to watch the
latest Malayalam film. Nowadays
these scenes are a common
phenomenon in both Telugu-
speaking States. Hyderabad has
always been on forefront and of late
young film buffs from Visakhapatnam
and Vijayawada are increasingly
lapping up the Malayalam cinema in
its un-dubbed format that usually
run in the theatres during the early
hours of weekend.
It is not much different with the
recently released ‘Charlie’, starring
Mollywood’s heartthrob Dulquer
Salmaan that has garnered
accolades from the local audience.
The new age Malayalam cinema is
taking people by storm, especially as
these movies release with English
sub-titles, making it a sweet deal for
the film aficionados.
Ace film director Sukumar avers that
if a script has universal appeal and
theme, then it is sure to attract
audience from all languages.
“Malayalam films are having scripts
that can cater to the sensibilities
across audience from any region.
Since the plotline is universal,
people get connected to it
instantly.
If a film is hit in a certain language,
social media is spreading news
about it thereby prompting the local
audience to watch it. Films like
‘Drishyam’, ‘Bodyguard’, etc have
done well in all languages
(Malayalam, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil)
because of the script’s global
appeal,” Sukumar shares.
Malayalee actress Keerthy Suresh
states that if the script is interesting
enough, then language is no barrier.
“In Kerala, the audience watch
Telugu and Tamil films with
subtitles because the content is
engaging enough.
If the story and emotions can
connect then people will definitely
watch it wherever they are. I’ve seen
films from other languages with
subtitles as my friends insisted. I
watch them because of the fresh
story. I think that’s one of the main
reasons why filmmakers remake a
film – if the content suits the local
sensibilities, they vie to remake it."
It is a well-known fact that Allu
Arjun has a huge fan base in Kerala
and with the influx of popular
Malayalee films many actors from
the Mollywood are becoming a
common name here too. Young
actors like Dulquer Salmaan, Fahad
Fazil, Nivin Pauly, Parvathy, Nithya
Menen and Sai Pallavi are ruling the
roost and have become popular
names amongst the non-Malayalee
folks.
And they are making additional
effort to watch these films on silver
screen. People are keeping a tab of
the films and their release dates for
a Dulquer or a Nivin film so on and
so forth.“I booked tickets in advance
for the new movie ‘Charlie’ as I
wanted to watch it on the first day. I
was waiting for this movie and it
turns out that my wait was a worthy
one.
‘Charlie’ is a very good movie and
Dulquer Salmaan has lived up to the
expectations. I’m glad that the
movie was released here. I hope in
near future we will have a
Malayalam movie in the prime time
slot in the theatres,” Sumedha
Goswami, a private employee says.
“Earlier, we used to screen films two
weeks after their release in Kerala.
Nowadays we are releasing the
movies simultaneously because of
the demand. The trend of Malayalam
movies is good and it will surely
increase in future,” says Kishan,
head of sales and marketing, Prasads
Imax.
The new wave of cinema, which is
garnering good response from
people of different walks of life,
started in 2010 breaking the
hegemony of huge stars in the
Kerala film industry. This was before
the time when only big names used
to dictate terms in the field, making
it hard for the filmmakers.
Earlier, the Kerala filmmakers were
stuck to themes, which were
stereotypical and they portrayed the
socio-political scenarios only. The
young brigade is coming up with
innovative screenplays and stories,
which reflect the urban
contemporary realities. The revival is
happening on a large scale and the
audience likes the bold new themes,
which come as a breath of fresh air.
“I like the themes. They are simple
and not that complex and the
complex are shot in way that it
becomes simple. The ideas are fresh
and about the nuances of this
generation making the whole movie
watching experience unique. The
techniques are really good. I have
watched many movies that I missed
earlier on DVDs, says B Vijay, a
corporate employee.
The nouvelle-vague filmmakers:
Jeethu Joseph (‘Drishyam’); Anjali
Menon (‘Bangalore Days’); Anwar
Rasheed (‘Ustad Hotel’) and
Alphonse Putharen (‘Neram’,
‘Premam’) among others are the
frontrunners, who have ushered the
age of new wave cinema in
Mollywood. The movies are being
lapped up by movie buffs especially
the youngsters from AP and
Telangana.
Rayarao Sriram is a freelance content
writer and he reviews films for
couple of websites. A native of
Khammam, Sriram comes every
month to Hyderabad to watch
Malayalam films. He has watched
‘Premam’ eight times in the theatre
and that was not enough; he bought
a DVD of the film and says he now
watches the movie every alternate
day.
His New Year resolution of 2016 is to
learn Malayalam by end of the year
so that he can watch the movie
without “subtitles”. “I started
watching Malayalam films with
‘Bangalore Days’ and that kick
started the interest in new wave
Malayalam films. They are natural
and I could easily connect to each
and every character.
Most of the characters in these films
have close resemblances to real life
characters. We miss the fresh feel in
Telugu films. In order to get more
information about films I have made
a few Malayalee friends on FaceBook
and they are suggesting more films
for me to watch. I watched good
number of films last year and I am
going to continue the same this year
as well,” Sriram adds.
Harish Ganesh, a short filmmaker
and aspiring director states that he
is inclined towards Malayalam
cinema because of social media and
friends. “My Telugu-speaking friends
went gaga over Malayalam movies
and with the buzz on social media,
it hyped my curiosity and I watched
‘Premam’.
I must say that the movie was worth
all the hype. It is a feel good movie
with new narrative. I can say that in
the last 5-6 years Mollywood is
making good movies, changing the
course of the industry. The simple
story telling technique about the
Gen X is surely a big draw. I was in
Chennai for a month or so and I
have seen ‘Premam’ there and now I
am back in Hyderabad and the
movie is still running here.
My friends said that it completed
222 days in Satyam Theatre and
Nivin Pauly and crew came to the
theatre on that day. The impact of
Malayalam cinema is growing by the
day,” he said. “We have seen global
cinema in film festivals but not
Indian movies. This sudden surge of
new wave in Malayalam, Kannada
and even Tamil is garnering lot of
attention on social media.
And South Indians have knowledge
about other films from the
neighbouring states. In 2005 or so, it
was the DVD era and I remember
vividly that people who used to go to
Kerala would bring along DVDs and
with this new surge it has increased
by folds. The multiplex culture has
also added to the fad. Almost every
week I watch a Malayalam film in
theatres and I make sure that I
don’t miss any muink I have asked 100 people to
watch ‘Premam’ and now I am doing
that for ‘Charlie’,” says Mahesh
Kathi, a film activist and adds that
the new wave of filmmaking will
never hit Tollywood, “Here we don’t
have the film school and film
festivals culture. The festivals bring
new audience and since the year
2000 there has never been a film
festival in Hyderabad.
Our film industry is feudal and hero-
centric and experimental films are
hardly preferred, as the focus is on
money. We don’t give chance to
independent filmmakers and even if
anyone makes a film; I doubt if it
will see the light of the day. We
never won a National Award in Best
Film category till date and I don’t
think the new wave of making
cinema will hit us anytime soon or
in future.”
Telugu people always patronised
Malayalam cinema albeit in their
dubbed version. Nearly three
decades ago, the intellectual films
canned by directors like KG George,
MT Vasudevan Nair, Bharathan,
Padmarajan and Adoor
Gopalakrishnan have created an
indelible impact on Telugu audience
for a period of five years.
Later in the nineties, Suresh Gopi’s
cop movies were a fad for a brief
two-year period. However, much of
hit Malayalam cinema was always
remade into Telugu with popular
actors vying for the rights and the
trend continues. The latest in the
list is ‘Premam’ in the making that
has star kid Naga Chaitanya in the
shoes of Nivin Pauly.

സംവിധായകര്ക്ക് ഡേറ്റ് നല്കാറില്ലെന്നും പലപ്പോഴും അവരുടെ ഫോണുകള് അറ്റന്ഡ് ചെയ്യാറില്ലെന്നുമുള്ള വിമര്ശനങ്ങള് പുതിയ വഴിത്തിരിവില്. സംവിധായകന് ലാല് ജോസിന് നിവിന് പോളി ഡേറ്റ് കൊടുത്തിരുന്നതാണ്. അതിന്റെ ഭാഗമായാണ് വിക്രമാദിത്യനില് നിവിന് ഗസ്റ്റ് വേഷം ചെയ്തത്. എന്നാല് പുതിയ ചിത്രത്തിന് വേണ്ടി ലാല് ജോസ് പറഞ്ഞ സമയത്ത് ഡേറ്റ് നല്കാന് നിവിന് തയ്യാറായില്ല. എന്തൊക്കെയോ ഒഴിവ്കഴിവുകള് പറഞ്ഞു. അതോടെ ലാല്ജോസ് നിവിനെ ഒഴിവാക്കി.
