Written and directed by Anjali Menon, this romantic drama is an entertainer that’ll make you miss the cousins you grew up with PS: The translation of the titles given in the brackets is my own and not the official title.īangalore Days follows three cousins - ambitious-but-married-early-Kunju, the naïve and loving Kuttan and reckless-bike-race-enthusiast-Aju - navigating careers, first loves, marriage and family politics. If you are a beginner into Malayalam movies, start with a thriller (That’s my favourite in this list). Don’t forget to check out the Best Malayalam films on Amazon Primetoo. The movies are roughly put into categories to help you navigate easier - most of them fall into more than one genre and some fall into none ( Anandabhadram is a dark fantasy but is listed under ‘drama’). The earlier ‘golden period’ of the Malayalam cinema probably calls for a much longer list. This list contains mostly new-ish or after-2000 movies.

There are a few handful of good movies on Netflix and Prime too.

Among the many digital platforms, Hotstar has the best collection of movies other regional languages. They are my guilty pleasure, so here are lists full of crackling new-ish Malayalam movies. Yes? YES! And Hallellujah! Many of these are available to stream on the internet right now. Malayalam films are among the finest among Indian cinema.
