I live in the UK and missed most of the good movies between 2007 and 2020 since I didn’t have access to new releases. From 2020 onwards, streaming platforms like Prime Video and Netflix made it easier to catch up. I also subscribed to Disney+ Hotstar.

However, these platforms, especially Netflix and Hotstar, no longer seem to offer many good movies.

Which streaming service is the best for watching Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi movies in that order of priority?

For Malayalam Movie which I want to purchase and own a digital copy - is there a digital site?

Not looking to download via illegal means. I can purchase Hollywood movies via YouTube, Google Play, Amazon, Fandango etc.

However, how would one go about purchasing Malayalam movies from the states? Ex: Lucifer, Marco etc.,

Yes, I get some are available on Netflix, Prime, Hulu... But what if I want to own it? What if a particular streaming service is not available in the US?

When will Sookshmadarshini be available outside India? It is on Hotstar, but not in regions outside India. It is supposed to be on Zee5, but it’s not. Want to watch it with subtitles. 🙁

Producers, please consider us legal streamers !!!!!!! 🙏

Hey, looking to start writing, looking for some one liner ideas for plots, if yall have any. Thanks

What are your hopes on this? Heard its an entertainer.

Indian Rupee is a movie that I really liked. However, there is one aspect of that movie that I never really understood.

So after Prithviraj and Tini Tom change the 50L into 1Cr fake notes, their worker steals one 1000 Rupee note and tries to spend it at a bar. He gets caught and the bar calls the police. When Prithviraj learns that the police is going to come to check the money, he goes to Jagathy and convinces him to switch the 99.99L fake note into 99.99L real note for when the police arrives.

Now this is what I don't understand. 1Cr has 10,000 notes of 1000. What is Prithviraj's plan here? Is to convince the police that just 1 fake note accidentally slipped into 10,000 and his worker grabbed EXACTLY that note? What's the probability of that and why would the police believe that?

Shouldn't he have added like 10 or 100 more fake notes in that bunch? That way, the police would find the story believable that accidentally a few notes slipped into a 1Cr amount. The odds of the worker grabbing a fake note increases from 1/10,000 to 1/100 (a much more believable coincidence). Also the suspicion that Prithviraj is trying to peddle fake notes on purpose is also gone now because why would he spend Rs 1cr just to get rid of Rs 1L in fake currency?

I think I'm misreading something here because that movie felt way too intelligent to make a mistake like this.

And also, how can the industry solve the problems in order create an effect something like Parasite did for korean cinema?

I heard of a song back in the day several years ago and wanted to know what it was called and where it's from, when I heard it, it was a Tamil song and I'm pretty sure there was a man and woman singing it

I tried Google Search for a Song, I got two songs that sound very very similar but they were Malayalam and Telugu

From my understanding this song is from a Telugu movie called Parugu and translated to Malayalam and Tamil into 'Krishna', it features Allu Arjun, Sheela etc

I think the Malayalam version is called 'Chempaneer Poove' https://youtu.be/ITPaXeXoM2s?si=NW3iLVczoxJUYmkB By someone called Mani Sharma?

The Telugu one must be 'eWJDzbnvOxi

https://youtu.be/FM7wLLzTNhE?si=f-SGQpv0AvKRkg88 Both this and the Malayalam are very similar to the one I remember but my one was Tamil and I'm pretty sure a female voice could also be heard unless I'm rlly tripping

This is the closest to the exact song I listened to before, but even this is literally just titled 'Tamil love song' like wtf? Is this so unpopular that you can't find the Tamil dubbed version anywhere? - https://youtu.be/udHq_bs2YzY?si=pFjn8eWJDzbnvOxi

The movie itself and it's songs in all 3 languages seems to be either very old, very unpopular, very unknown or all, I literally can't find much on this whole thing at all

If anyone knows anything and could help out that would be so very nice... Thanks!!

This one had the potential to be a solid thriller but the makers went along and tried too many things at once and none of it stuck, although the climax fight was one of the most well executed fights that I've seen from the industry.

It has a whooping rating of pf 8.8 while it felt more like a 5 or 6 out of 10. And it’s not just me, many people have mentioned here that it’s just average movie.

What are some of the funniest proposal scenes in mollywood? Mine personally would be Kavilinayil from Vandanam

Certain scenes were fine while in others it looked like the famous Henry Cavill CGI mustache replacement from Justice League. Is it just me or did anyone notice the same?

I show this in ott yesterday. And I was bored, i personally think that the writer and director had so many topics to discuss like the medical condition of Trisha, the behaviour of tovino, victim safety control, sky marshal (even though it was a mass portion i laughed hell out of it )like this so many topics,at the end they somehow connect all this to make this movie. And lost the soul of movie. And i don't know what's the connection of movie and the title. And that Shammi Thilakan character seems to know the whole story before even that started

Guys what is your opinion about it.

I have always found it impressive that Prithviraj has never been threatened by younger talent, but much rather provides them opportunities to shine in his movies as a co-star and as a producer. As someone, who (from what I have read) did not get that kind of support from bigger stars during his initial days, its great to see that he has taken a positive turn from it and has been supportitve of providing opportunities to younger stars.

Tovino Thomas: From 7th Day to Empuraan, Prithviraj has been associated with Tovino before and after he became a star. Tovino has even admitted that Prithviraj was the reason he got a role in Ennu Ninde Moideen which got him mainstream attention.

Unni Mukundan: I have noticed when Unni was going through a bad phase, Prithvi gave him opportunities in movies like Bro Daddy and Bhramam.

Sudev Nair: A state award winner who got his first mainstream role in Ezra

Roshan Mathew: It takes a self-assured person to give the main role in Kuruthi, a movie he produced, to an upcoming actor.

Would love to hear the sub's opinion on this aspect about Prithviraj!

I don't know what some writers are getting wrong here, but some recent malayalam thrillers tried to pull off too many twists but none of them made an impact beyond a point to me. The recent ones are identity and forensic, but movies like bicycle theives also fall into this category. Identity especially in the latter half had more of them failing to create an impact IMO.

The number of twists are more but they don't give time for the previous one to settle.

Thrillers are hard to pull off (just like any other genre these days since we've been exposed to international movies post the covid phase and maybe the standards the average viewer expects has gone up) so are we asking for too much brilliance in writing, or is it just average writing?

It's a bit of an old one. Pretty sure it's a mammootty movie. Here's the scene I remember:

Mammootty and two other guys were examining a video tape. The video was of a guy hugging a girl while turning to the camera, and ikka points out the guys face been morphed by looking at the reflection. I think it was an investigation movies and I think the guy was devji.

Thank you.

I was skipping through channels… i only have some vague memory about this…. A girl was walking through the foot path… early morning with an umbrella…. It was dark n raining she was passing several cars parked alongside… n suddenly she went missing… i only remember this..n some jeep scenes with men travelling or something like that ws there… can you help me find that movie

Recently watched this movie. It was an okay movie for me. Nothing special. But when I checked the comments, everyone commented about how this is an underrated gem.

I am genuinely curious, what factor of this movie makes it so special? I would like to hear from your perspective.

I'll go first - the boys trip genre in malayalam is an unexplored territority . im talking with likes of Hangover movie . Would love to see similar in malayalam, would be fun 🙌

What are the other genres u feel malayalam movies hasn't explored yet?

are they actually twins or just something like an alter ego stuff as like in fight club?? im asking this just because vinod (who gets killed) tells someone over his phone that he got plans with his wife... but he doesn't have a wife right?? its mentioned before that they r not married... so??? and at the last scene, it really felt like it really felt like (the mirror scene), that he was the one guilty

I’m not sure how many of you have seen this film, it seemed pretty average at first, however, it turned out to be surprisingly good; probably much ahead of its time, definitely an under-appreciated movie! It also had that Peruvanpurathe Vishashangal type vibe.
