Barroz box office collection Day 1: Mohanlal's directorial debut gets a mediocre opening of Rs 3.6 crore. The film is facing competition against Mufasa, Pushpa 2.

As much of a doyen of Malayalam literature as he was, MT Vasudevan Nair was also one of the path-breaking figures in the cinematic landscape, redefining the grammar of the medium.

In a year widely regarded as one of the worst for industries like Hindi and Tamil — with several films failing to meet expectations — the Malayalam industry delivered a series of exceptional works.

Lauding the Malayalam film industry for its spirit of collaboration, Anurag Kashyap also contrasted it with Bollywood's ego-driven star system.

Rekhachithram trailer: Featuring Asif Ali and Anaswara Rajan in the lead roles, Rekhachithram promises to be a theatrical experience you won’t want to miss.

Mohanlal recently took a trip down memory lane and shared how he believed in the talent of Fahadh Faasil even when the whole world didn’t.

Identity trailer: The highly anticipated trailer of the Tovino Thomas, Trisha Krishnan-starrer has finally arrived and it promises to be, the "ultimate suspense action thriller spectacle of the season."

IFFK 2024: While the Suvarna Chakoram for Best Film went to director Pedro Freire's Brazilian drama Malu, Iranian filmmaker Farshad Hashemi was awarded the Rajata Chakoram for Best Director for his drama Me, Maryam, the children and 26 others.

Mohanlal shared in a recent interview that Barroz has been shot in 'native 3D'.

Made on a nominal budget of about Rs 12 lakh, director Prasanth Eezhavan raised Rs 6 lakh for Oru Jaathi Pillerishtta through crowdfunding.

Mohanlal says today's generation has great directors, but the stories are not up to the mark. Comparatively, older movies still hold greater place, according to the veteran star.

Is Mohanlal one of the greatest Indian actors of all time? He sheepishly attempted to answer this question in a new interview.

During opening ceremony, the CM lauded IFFK's international reputation as a champion of political and progressive storytelling, which distinguishes it from other film festivals.

The man booed at Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as he was proceeding towards the venue after alighting from his car.

Mohanlal, according to Santosh Sivan, has chosen a very difficult path, with respect to the technical elements of Barroz.

Nayanthara recalled disappointing director Fazil on the sets of one of her earliest films. She said that he became so upset with her that he had to go off and be by himself for a couple of hours.

After acting in more than 400 films, Mohanlal recently donned the director's hat and his debut directorial Barroz 3D is set to hit the screens soon.

Interestingly, it was at the same Guruvayur temple that Kalidas' parents Jayaram and Parvathy, one of Malayalam cinema's most beloved couples, got married in 1992, during the height of their film careers.

The teaser of Identity, Trisha's next in Malayalam after Hey Jude is out. The film, which is expected to hit screens this January, is headlined by Tovino Thomas alongside the Leo actor.

The teaser of Mammootty Kampany's Dominic and the Ladies Purse, directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, features a rather interesting exchange between Mammootty and Gokul Suresh.

Shaji Kailas' Mammootty-starrer Valyettan is filled with savarna elements and problematic themes as if the makers were determined to make a blockbuster by catering to the harmful mindset of the time.

Mahesh Narayanan responded to reports that Mohanlal would only be appearing in a cameo in his film, headlined by Mammootty, and stars Kunchacko Boban and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles.

On the last day of Empuraan's shoot, Prithviraj Sukumaran was visited by a surprise guest — his wife Supriya Menon. However, what could have been a heartwarming moment turned comical.
