Best Malayalam Movies of 2013

Follow The Cinema Company

Its that time of the year where we analyse the top movies of the year and I have compiled my list from the films released in 2013. Its really hard to trim down the list to ten since I can't leave out some good films from the list, so it is literally a top 13. These are just my thoughts and I want your feedback, also let me know if you felt any movies should have made the cut into my top 10.

Mumbai Police : A bold thriller presented by Roshan Andrews with a difference and a notable performance from Prithviraj made it a well made movie.

Memories : Jeethu Joseph and Prithviraj hogged the limelight in this thriller that had an excellent script as its backbone.

Drishyam : A visual treat for the viewers, once again Jeethu Joseph proved he is the best director of the year with back to back hits. A comeback of sorts for Mohanlal, the film stood out for a flawless script and classic acting from one of the powerhouse of Mollywood, Lalettan.

Kunjananthantay
Kada : Salim Ahmed presented this film in a convincing and simple way and exploited the vast talent of Mammooty in the film.

Nadan : Kamal presented this film that portrayed the problems faced by theatre artistes and groups in running the show in the present world. The highlight of the film is Jayaram, an underrated actor whose potential is still to be exploited by directors.

101 Chodyangal : A simple movie by debutant Sidhartha Siva, the film touches our heart and quite rightly went on to win accolades at the National Level as well as various film festivals.

Philips and the Monkey Pen : Rojin and Shanil, two young directors crafted this film and narrates the story of a child Ryan Philip. Put our legs in a child's shoe and watch this film, a film for all ages.

Celluloid : A biopic on J C Daniel, Celluloid earned critical acclaim and also got noticed for Prithviraj's performance as the protagonist.

Neelaakaasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi : A road movie, probably the first of its kind in Malayalam by Sameer Thahir, NPCB stood out for its narrative style and excellent cinematography.

Shutter : Joy Mathew should be proud of this movie that entertained the viewers in a different way.

Ezhamathay Varavu : Harihahran and MT joined together to recreate this film that was made in the 70's but never got released. Many of you might disagree with my choice here but somehow I was really impressed with the film as well as Indrajith's performance.

Left Right Left : Arun Kumar Aravind and Murli Gopi team produced a gem that was well appreciated by everyone who saw the film. Unfortunately due to reasons unknown, it was sidelined at the box office and had a very limited run.

Amen : Lijo Jose can take credit for entertaining us to the maximum through his movie Amen and it was a different sort of experience we get after watching.

Two other movies that impressed me but could not make it to the list are North 24 Kaadam and Annayum Resoolum. If a list of 15 is selected then both these films would have made the cut.
