Malayalam films became a gamechanger in Indian film industry...more realistic..other than mass masala

[Stingray_]

She's 100% correct indian cinema is not just bollywood it's way beyond bollywood
Look at malayalam movies, look at local cultural films from odia, marathi, bangali, Assamese, see hindi cinemas see short films

I've been saying this for long. The films in Indian subcontinent is being made in Kerala. Malayalam cinema is constantly putting out classics but rest of the country hasn't caught up with it.

[yxjmoqs]

I'm from Mumbai and I stopped watching other language films including bollywood and hollywood after I started watching Malayalam films. Kerala, you are literally like a country inside a country. ❤️

Their dresses are alright for the present trend particularly among actresses. If Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra or Kajol Devgan wear the same dresses nobody seems to be objecting.

[binarybodhi]

Divya looks so hot and sexy ❤ never seen her in Malayalam film like this

[irock]

Hindi film industry or Bollywood main priority is to make money by pushing drivelling shit into theatres

[Shreyapremsankar]

Malayalam cinema revolves around feelings of a common man rather than unrealistic upper class melo dramas

[anandappalanaidu]

Tollywood ruling entire indian cinema ❤❤

[sanjaysaikia]

Don't talk about bollywodia, , they were just remakes companies 😂😂😂😂😂

[femyrj]

Am a fan of cannes appreciating the art and hardwork of artists. Proud moment for us to But am sorry the attire is so boring.... May be their mannerism to showcase it with confidence failed..

[prashanth]

Tamil, Kerala, but no telugu great, remember Oscar RRR

[Arunandami]

ബിരിയാണി ഒറ്റക്കിരുന്നു കണ്ടിട്ട് ഞങ്ങൾ രണ്ട് പേരും എണിറ്റു നിന്നു കൈ അടിച്ചു

[chacheB]

Is it mandatory to show cleavages in International film festivals ??

[Homemade-Blurb]

Someone plz teach those two ladies how to wear saree in a decent manner 😂😅

[Happy_]

These people chose to represent Palasthine issue rather than the Mullaperiyar dam issue at global platform which requires immediate attention as it would destroy majority of Kerala districts and would cause so much of distress to our state and our people.

Shame on you People 😑

[Sahil-fxcz]

I am happy for them but, CCTV footage cant change Indian film making style. dont be fooled people please.

[mkarichery]

See that Palastin flag sari that female wearing . Ultra commi

[shancsk]

Ridiculous costumes, not the director, that two actresses.

[keriddunk]

Malayalam cinema has always brought india its laurels
