An Indian guy lacking any qualities to be a good partner emotionally manipulates the woman he loves, and they get together. That’s been the template for romance in the majority of Indian romantic movies. Girish A.D.’s Premalu doesn’t offer much more than that, and its extensive runtime is the final nail in the coffin. At least here, the main guy unironically accepts his mommy issues, and the girl is okay with it.

MollywoodWe list some, sadly rather few in number, well-written women characters in grey in Malayalam cinema who stuck to their guns till the end.Neelima MenonBindu Panicker as Seetha in RorschachKanchana’s eyes darken with desire as she stares at her sister-in-law’s karimani (black beads) chain. She hungrily tugs at the chain, describing its artistry at length to her awkward sister-in-law. When she is gifted a sari by her sister-in-law, she is torn between greed and jealousy, eventually succumbing to the latter emotion. Kanchana is an ordinary homemaker with lofty ambitions for material things, which her husband isn’t able to fulfil. At a time when the leading women in cinema were always divided into binaries, i.e., good or bad, Kanchana in Sathyan Anthikad’s Thalayanamanthram (1990) is a startling revelation. At least to begin with, more so because of the sublime nuances actor Urvashi lends to Kanchana. What...

MollywoodFrom Prem Nazir to Parvathy, these love songs featuring our favourite actors speak of troubles of the heart.Neelima Menon"Between what is said and not meant and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost" goes a Khalil Gibran quote. We bring you a compilation of beautiful melodies from Malayalam cinema that speak about the anguish of lost love, about those memories that are too deep and profound to get over and a heart that seems to take its own sweet time to heal. 1. 'Kaathirunnu Kaathirunnu' from Ennu Ninte Moideen (2016): A song that encapsulates Moideen (Prithviraj) and Kanchanamala’s (Parvathy) love story, as they correspond mostly over handwritten love letters, their endless patient wait to unite despite family opposition. Singers - Shreya Ghoshal Music - M Jayachandran Lyrics - Rafeeq Ahammed 2. 'Ennodenthini Pinakkam' from Kaliyattam (1997): In Jayaraj’s version of Othello, we have the...

MollywoodThese songs are coined without much thought, and it shows.Meera PKHow do you define the outrageous lyric? These songs are coined without much thought, the only intention being to rustle up a rhyme. They will be as memorable as they are offensive to the ears and mind, and often just as hilarious... Mostly unplanned. Here, we bring you a list of such hapless attacks on the rhyming word in the name of creativity in Malayalam cinema. In exactly this order. 1. ‘Pineapple penne chocolate piecey’ (Vellinakshathram) In this high-octane dance number in the rain featuring Prithviraj and Karthika, the hero begins by equating her with pineapple and chocolate, begging her to spare him the agonising twist of love. And yes, the rest of it is just as hilarious. 2. ‘Chocolateu poleyulla ee urunda meni’ (Chocolate) What’s our lyricist’s obsession with chocolate women? And poor Prithviraj is yet again the bearer of this unbearable song.
