The games people play around death have fascinated filmmakers for decades. For the moment though, this is my pick of the best Mollywood films that came to theatres in 2018:

As technology, exhibition media and audiences change, their numbers are bound to increase, and as that happens, critics' lists such as this one too will adapt. Nair and Sashidharan are not alone in opting for unconventional routes to the public. Sanal Kumar Sashidharan has decided not to waste his time submitting his Unmadiyude Maranam (Death of Insane) to the Censor Board due to its politically explosive content, although that rules out a mainstream release for the film. Rahul Riji Nair's Ottamuri Velicham (The Light in the Room), for one, is an unnerving account of marital rape in the remote Kerala countryside, that was released directly on online platforms. But increasingly, there are good films not going down that road at all. This list of my favourite Malayalam films of 2018 covers theatrical releases from the last calendar year. Since I reviewed Sathyan Anthikad's Njan Prakashan just recently, I can't find a way to better express my feelings than in these words from that write-up: Sometimes I want to wrap Malayalam cinema in a big, warm bear hug and plant affectionate, grateful kisses on its cheeks. Mollywood is though, that even in what is arguably its worst year of the past decade, it has given us some of India's best cinematic works. It is a measure of how great this film industry a.k.a. So, binge on them now and get entertained.2018 was awful for Malayalam cinema. Although the list we have mentioned in this post isn’t all, but most of those movies are great and rewatchable. The deciding factor is the ratings and constantly checking IMDB (Internet Movie Database) that lists all movies from any language and country based on the particular genres. The entertainment industry is booming and each category has some good and bad movies.

The film stars Dileep and Madonna Sebastian in the leading roles. A man having an uncanny talent to deceive people falls for an aspiring model and convinces her that he will help her in her career using his experience in the fashion world.
