Here is a list of Malayalam films that look to be big box office draws in light of the rising number of pan-Indian films that are competing with Hindi-language films in India on a level playing field. Be wary of the following films, which not only have big-name actors but also insightful, truthful stories.
Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM)
In the teaser for this upcoming historical comedy, Tovino Thomas made a splash with a rough, rural image. Tovino, who is typically cast in lighthearted parts, transforms into a bold, strong folk hero who will battle valiantly for what he feels is right. Even though Tovino’s films like Minnal Murali and 2018 have been adored by a wide range of fans throughout India, ARM is hailed as his first pan-Indian production. Produced by Zachariah Thomas and Listin Stephen under the Magic Frames and UGM Productions brands, the movie also features Krithi Shetty and Aishwarya Rajesh.
King of Kotha
Abhilash Joshiy is making his directorial debut with this upcoming action thriller, which is being made by Wayfarer Films and Zed Studios. The stirring trailer portrays the story of retribution and the loss of innocence in a village plagued by crime. In what seems to be a success for all of India, Dulquer Salmaan is hard to recognise as a true action star.
Bazooka
This first film by Deeno Dennis, the son of seasoned screenwriter Kaloor Dennis, has pulled off a casting coup by bringing megastar Mammootty on board. It is produced by Yoodlee Films and co-produced by Theatre of Dreams. According to the actor, this criminal drama’s tight storyline and clearly defined characters were what ultimately led him to say “yes” to the project. The narrative, which is characterised as a game of wits, was filmed in Kochi and Bengaluru. Gautham Vasudev Menon, Babu Antony, Shine Tom Chacko, Sharafudheen, Divya Pillai, and Jagdish are also featured in it.
Kasargold
Fans were in a tizzy after watching the teaser for this surreal criminal drama, which included a pounding music and head-spinning action scenes. Fans were also left wanting more by the interesting personas of Vinayakan, Sunny Wayne, and Asif Ali. This upcoming comedy, directed by Mridul Nair and made by Yoodlee Films, represents Asif and Mridul’s comeback after working together on the successful movie “B Tech.” Siddique, Sambath Ram, Deepak Purambol, Dhruvan, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Sagar Surya, and Prasanth Murali are also included in Kasargold. The planned release date is September 15, 2023.
