The
first
4
months
of
2016
have
been
a
good
one
for
Malayalam
cinema.
Unlike,
in
the
previous
years,
the
year
2016
had
good
share
of
big
blockbusters
in
the
first
three
months
itself.
Today,
we
are
going
to
discuss
about
some
brilliant
malayalam
films
released
this
year
so
far,
which
couldn't
gain
the
attention
that
it
deserved.
Monsoon
Mangoes
Had
this
movie
been
released
after
Maheshinte
Prathikaram,
the
film
would
have
been
a
sure
shot
success.
Monsoon
Mangoes
is
different
from
all
kinds
of
movies
releasing
now.
The
movie
directed
by
Aby
Varghese
had
followed
a
Wes
Anderson
style
of
making.
The
film
is
surely
much
ahead
of
its
time.
Amoeba
Amoeba,
a
film
which
dealt
with
the
subject
of
harmful
effects
of
endosulfan,
narrated
the
story
of
a
woman
who
is
in
fear
of
the
contamination
by
endosulfan.
Anumol,
Aneesh
G
nair,
Indrans
etc
did
main
roles
in
this
film
directed
by
Manoj
Kana.
The
film
did
make
a
mark
of
itself
in
various
award
circuits.
The
film
was
released
on
January
22,
2016.
2
Penkuttikal
2
Penkuttikal,
which
narrated
the
story
of
2
young
girls,
had
put
forward
the
issues
faced
by
young
women
in
the
society.
Anna
Fathima
who
did
one
of
the
lead
roles
in
the
film
went
on
to
win
Kerala
State
Film
Award
For
Best
Child
Artist.
The
film
got
released
on
January
22,
2016.
Jalam
Jalam,
which
released
with
the
recognition
of
being
the
first
charity
movie
in
Malayalam
went
on
to
win
great
reviews
after
its
release.
Handling
a
very
socially
relevant
theme,
this
film
directed
by
M
Padmakumar
dealt
with
the
the
story
of
homeless
people.Priyanaka
Nair
did
the
main
role
in
this
film.
Moonam
Naal
Njayarazhcha
The
film
that
released
on
March
18,
2016,
got
unanimously
positive
reviews.
The
film
produced
by
Salimkumar
marked
the
debut
of
TA
Razak
as
a
director.
The
film
which
had
forced
religion
conversion
as
the
central
theme
was
highly
lauded
by
the
critics.
Most
of
the
films
in
the
above
list
don't
fall
into
the
commercial
category.
Hence,
these
films
had
to
face
a
lukewarm
response
at
the
theatres.
It
also
has
to
be
noted
that,
most
of
the
above
films
couldn't
get
a
proper
release.
They
had
very
limited
screen
counts
and
the
makers
had
to
be
satisfied
with
whatever
screens
that
they
got.
Even
a
film
like
Moonnaam
Naal
Njayaraazhcha,
which
had
Salimkumar
backing
the
project
found
it
hard
to
get
to
the
theatres.
Even
after
getting
some
glowing
reviews,
the
film
had
to
move
away
from
the
theatres
within
the
first
week
of
its
run.
Well,
it
is
a
fact
that
such
films
don't
get
the
needed
attention
in
theatres.
But,
for
sure,
they
will
remain
quality
films
and
would
definitely
garner
appreciations
and
recognitions
in
the
times
to
come.
