Eight Reasons Why We Should All Start Following Mollywood

Until very recently, the Malayalam industry was a very idle one that no one really talked about. However, the sudden sweeping changes have entirely changed perspectives of people for the good. Pat on the back my fellow Mallu friends, for this sudden revamping in the industry is one of the reasons you can use to brag about being Mallu.

1. Mollywood thrives on reality…

Proper reasoning and accountability are two major aspects that Indian films in general lack. On the contrary, Mollywood serves to make films more close to reality so that it is relatable to people. Gone are the times when fairytales were the most wanted stories by the audience. Be it manichitrataazh or premam, there was never any unwanted masala to increase viewership.

2. There is content to every story the Malayalam industry has come up with.

‘Fluff’ is discouraged. There is extensive research done before each script is made into a movie. With movies such as Premam and Bangalore Days Click to look into! >> Read More... , it is quite visible as to how much research has gone into making it as content-filled as possible. It is noteworthy that movies such as 22 female kottayam and Chaapa Kurishu would have been extensively researched to make the story sound believable.

3. The music in the Malayalam industry is brilliant…

Of course, it would be, owing to the fact that most of the southern singers such as Chitra, Sujatha Mohan Sujatha Mohan (Sujatha or Baby Sujatha) is one of >> Read More... , UnniMenon, Shwetha Mohan and Vijay Yesudas Vijay Yesudas (Born: 23rd March, 1979) is an India >> Read More... hail from Kerala. The music is refreshing and none of the tunes are repetitive. It always keeps with the theme of the movie, complementing it to make the movie watching experience a much better one. Don’t we all sing Maangalyam from Bangalore Days even now? How many of us love Pistah for its beats! The songs are indeed catchy.

4. Women in Kerala are much more open to experimenting with new career opportunities...

5. No two movies are the same…

Redundancy is a big no in Mollywood, and people do not watch movies if there is a basic storyline being followed. People are willing to experiment with new ideas and take risks to please the audience. They work from their hearts to make the movie a success, regardless of whether it is their first movie or their 100th movie. The movies range from complete entertainers like Premam to something as serious as Dhrishyam.

6. Social and politically relevant ideas Mollywood is one industry that can string something as serious as a political issue with an entertaining storyline.

Most of the stories have either a current issue being addressed, or a social message being conveyed, however in a very lighthearted way to keep the audience engaged. No matter what the story is about, the element of conveying a message is taken up seriously, especially in movies like Ustad Hotel and Oru Vadakkan Selfie Click to look into! >> Read More... .

7. Naturally good-looking actors in abundance Mollywood is known for prioritizing the aspect of reality in movies.

With that said, the actors chosen are not just good-looking, but are also people who quite fit the role. They are immensely talented, and they work to portray the most candid looks ever. They do not go through rigorous make-up sessions that make them look like models, cause if movies were something that people were supposed to relate to, the actors aren’t supposed to look exceptionally flawless. After all, isn’t it the ‘defects’ that enhance ones beauty? Don’t we all remember Sai Pallavi The woman who lit up every man’s heart during the >> Read More... from Premam? Enough said.

8. Mind blowing locations to work with Kerala being the God's Own Country has brilliant locations that come to their advantage while working on projects.

This also adds to the added advantage of a natural setting instead of spending enormous amounts of money on traveling to several countries to shoot songs, which most of the times may not even be relevant to the movie. We all remember that bashful song, ‘Aluva puzha’ from Premam. Set in the banks of the Aluva River, this song has captured several hearts with the cinematography and the location, and even better; the natural hair structure of a Mallu girl.
