2012: Good Malayalam Movies
Over 100 films release in Mollywood every year. And only a handful are bearable. Although with a slow pace, Malayalam Film Industry is surely developing with new-wave and experimental cinema. Here, I list the films that are watchable, artistic, and slightly above average. All told, these films won't waste your time. (In no specific order).
These are the best Malayalam films.
