Malayalam
films
have
a
special
affinity
towards
the
word
nostalgia.
Having
said
that,
it
should
be
noted
that,
Malayalam
film-makers
are
experts
in
this
section
and
hence
deliver
some
quality
products.
Here,
we
take
you
through
some
of
the
recent
Malayalam
films
that
successfully
made
use
of
nostalgic
elements.
Premam
Premam
was
largely
successful
in
working
out
the
nostalgic
elements
and
the
big
success
it
enjoyed
stands
as
a
testimony
to
that.
The
film
took
many
youngsters
back
to
their
school
and
college
days,
by
presenting
on
screen
some
of
the
elements
which
were
the
identity
of
that
generation.
Kohinoor
The
story
of
Kohinoor
was
set
in
the
late
1980's
and
the
makers
did
bring
in
elements
to
attract
the
viewers.
Even
the
looks
of
Asif
Ali
did
remind
us
of
Mohanlal
of
those
days.
The
song
Hemanthamen
and
Dum
Dum
had
tunes
that
took
back
us
to
the
olden
days.
1983
The
name
Sachin
is
more
than
enough
to
bring
nostalgic
memories
to
the
minds
of
people.
1983
brought
such
fantastic
cricketing
memories
and
also
the
days
of
street
cricket
that
connected
well
with
the
audiences.
Pathemari
The
story
of
Pathemari
went
through
the
various
stages
of
the
character
Pallikkal
Narayanan's
life.
The
film
did
certainly
bring
in
memories
to
all
those
gulf
expatriates
who
worked
hard
staying
away
from
their
near
and
dear
ones.
Idukki
Gold
Idukki
Gold
was
all
about
friendship.
The
few
sequences
that
the
film
had
were
solely
enough
to
bring
back
the
memories
of
school
days.
The
song
Maanikya
Chirakulla
is
just
an
example
of
that.
Manjadikkuru
This
film
would
surely
bring
back
the
memories
of
those
good
old
childhood
days.
Anjali
Menon
did
strike
the
right
chords
telling
the
story
of
three
cousins
who
meet
for
the
first
time.
Nostalgic
elements
in
Malayalam
films
are
very
commonly
found
nowadays.
Such
elements
are
now
a
necessity
in
Malaylaam
films
and
it
guarantees
certain
amount
of
success
for
the
film.
Premam,
which
went
on
to
be
the
biggest
blockbuster
in
the
history
of
Malayalam
cinema
underlined
this
fact,
as
viewers
could
identify
themselves
with
the
characters
and
the
events
in
the
film.
Interestingly,
now
film-makers
are
grabbing
any
opportunity
that
they
get
to
include
references
to
stars
like
Mammootty
&
Mohanlal
and
also
their
old
films.
Kunchacko
Boban's
upcoming
film
Valliyum
Thetti
Pulliyum
Thetti
is
said
to
have
its
story
set
on
the
late
1980's
and
early
1990's.
The
songs
and
their
visualisations
have
received
much
acclaim.
Ore
Mugham
which
is
the
new
film
of
Dhyan
Sreenivasan
is
also
said
to
be
a
college
story
set
in
the
early
90's.
Another
film
Hallelooya
which
has
Narain
and
Meghna
Sunder
Raj,
is
also
banking
on
the
word
nostalgia,
to
offer
a
memorable
journey
for
the
viewers.
