MollywoodAward-winning and critically acclaimed movies along with popular new films have found a place on online streaming sites.CrisThere was a time when young ones flocked to the CD shops in Thiruvananthapuram’s Beemappally in search of the new foreign films that never get released in Kerala, or the pirated copies of ones they’d missed. When Torrent came and movies from any place could be downloaded online (mostly pirated copies and therefore illegal), the CDs stopped selling so much. Torrent sites got banned soon enough and even as the smarter ones found proxies, the interest simply waned with the coming of online streaming sites. Netflix and then the cheaper alternate Amazon Prime offered so much that people didn’t mind actually paying for the movies they loved to somehow snatch and watch so far. Other streaming platforms joined the list, much to the delight of film buffs. Law in place,...

MollywoodEven if you watch the film knowing what to expect of Haneef Adeni, 'Mikhael' is disappointing.Sowmya RajendranHaneef Adeni has, by now, established what to expect from his films. Revenge, style, Biblical allusions, plenty of English dialogues and some family drama driving the whole thing. While his first two films were with veteran actor Mammootty, Mikhael is with Nivin Pauly, one of the younger generation's most promising stars. But even if you go in fully knowing the typical Haneef Adeni fare and the fact that the film is about a "matchless macho" hero, Mikhael falls several notches short. The story has repeat elements from The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal - a family member is wronged, there's a police officer investigating a crime, and you have the hero playing avenger. The film begins with a confusing sequence that introduces us to numerous characters, none of them leaving much of an impact.

The jury’s responsibility was to reward the artistes, who had tales of pain to narrate (which was nothing but the pain they inflicted on cine-goers).

But it was found that a lot more award categories and a big section of people who still do disappointing work were left out. Here is the full list of the Kerala Coconut Film awards and the winners. Take this mock awards list seriously at your own peril. Most Tissue Sales award – Prithviraj Sukumaran Continuing from last year’s Adam Joan and Vimanam, Prithviraj kept up with...
