MollywoodThe seeds to redefine codes of morality in Malayalam cinema were sowed in some of the more recent films, where protagonists in shades of grey manage to go scot-free or just suffer unconventional punishments.*Spoilers ahead Traditionally, the protagonists of most Indian films come in different shades of white. They tend to be morally upright, the films almost always on the ‘right’ side of morality. The established template is “the good people live happily ever after”, the corollary being that the ‘bad people’ will meet a bad end — if they do not die by the end of the film, they will at least suffer. For decades, storytellers in India have stuck to this template and fed it to the conscience of the viewing public. This has resulted in countless films where the hero is the ‘good guy’, who does everything by the rules and lives happily in the end. The...

Vineeth Sreenivasan, Vipin Das, Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, Ratheena, Dijo Jose Antony and Abhinav Sunder Nayak came together to discuss another exciting year for Malayalam cinema. Beginning with a musical rom-com driving audiences to theatres, Malayalam Cinema produced several wonders this year, ending the stellar run with a dark comedy entertainer and a woman fighting back against domestic violence in style.
Bringing together the creators of many such wonderful films, the roundtable hosted by Vishal Menon featured Vineeth Sreenivasan, Vipin Das, Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, Ratheena, Dijo Jose Antony and Abhinav Sunder Nayak.
2022 for Indian cinema has been about big spectacles and mass fights, but Malayalam cinema stands out with its content-oriented and celebrated films. And Vineeth Sreenivasan thinks not every film should be like Baahubali to be celebrated. “I’ve heard people from other industries say that only films like Baahubali will succeed from now on. I think that notion is wrong.

ReviewThis is the story of a heartless, unloving man with no principles, no ounce of mercy, nothing humane. He is presented as such.CrisThe team behind Mukundan Unni Associates, the film that put Vineeth Sreenivasan in a very unusual role, has clearly done a lot of preparation to present their lead character. Mukundan Unni, an advocate always seen in the clean white clothes of a lawyer-on-call, almost as if to contrast the dark thoughts we hear him think, even has an actual Instagram page. Vineeth Sreenivasan is unrecognisable as he plays this most cunning man with zero feelings for anyone other than himself. The film, which stands out in more ways than one, is the debut of editor Abhinav Sunder Nayak as director. Before you begin watching the film, you have got to keep your judgemental thoughts away. This is not a film that tells right from wrong or bats for good over evil.
