The time to say good bye to 2016 is slowly approaching. The Malayalam film industry is also set to bid adieu to a wonderful year that was filled with some mesmerizing films.
Thanks to the directors, who are the real heroes behind the success of each film. Because of them, the Malayalm film audiences got to see a good number of movies that were high on quality. So, here we give you the chance to pick the Best Malayalam director of 2016.
From many, we have shortlisted 8 Malayalam directors, who made a mark in 2016 with their quality movie. Take a look at the nominations..
Abrid Shine - Action Hero Biju
Abrid Shine made the year 2016 a special one with his movie Action Hero Biju. The film was his second directorial venture and he once again proved his mettle. Abrid Shine opted to narrate a police story with a difference and made a realistic film that catered to all sections of audiences.
Vineeth Sreenivasan - Jacobinte Swargarajyam
Vineeth Sreenivasan's Jacobinte Swargarajyam was much different from his previous directorial ventures. This time, the film-maker in him came up with a family story, that was whole-heartedly accepted by the audiences. In fact, the story of the film was based on a real incident.
Rajeev Ravi - Kammatipaadam
Nothing much has to be said about this man, who is conquering new heights with each movie. Kammatipaadam, Rajeev Ravi's latest offering, gave the industry a type of a film that it hasn't witnessed in the recent past. He was successful in bringing in the required freshness to the movie, while narrating a realistic tale.
Dileesh Pothan - Maheshinte Prathikaaram
Dileesh Pothan proved his skill as a film-maker with this year's film Maheshinte Prathikaaram. He weaved out a classic entertainer out of a wafer thin storyline. He was also spot on in casting some fresh faces in pivotal roles, which did take the movie to another level.
Johnpaul George - Guppy
It is hard to believe that Guppy is Johnpaul George's debut directorial venture. The director had the guts to take up a realistic story sans any masala elements for his debut venture. Johnpaul George made the film Guppy a memorable one, proving his mettle as a film-maker.
Priyadarshan - Oppam
Oppam marked the grand comeback of Priyadarshan after a series of flops. This time, he opted for a crime thriller and the director came up with a product, that was slick and entertaining.
Rajesh Pillai - Vettah
Vettah, which was the swan song of director late Rajesh Pillai, was a thriller with a different angle. Rajesh Pillai made the movie in a unique fashion, making the movie a special one that deserved a better treatment from the audiences.
Vysakh - Pulimurugan
Last but not the least, here is the person who made the biggest movie of this year. With Pulimurugan, Vysakh proved that such big budget ventures are possible in Mollywood, as well. The major chunk of the credit must go to the film-maker, who packaged the product in an engaging manner.
The year was a good one for both the young film-makers as well as senior film-makers. When the likes of Vineeth Sreenivasan, Abrid Shine etc., scored high, senior film-makers like Priyadarshan also pitched in with some quality works.
Interestingly, we saw many of the Malayalam film-makers choosing the paths less taken. More importantly, most of them came out successful in their ventures, which boosted the confidence of the other film-makers, as well.
Well, it is indeed a positive sign and we hope that the same vigour and zest for quality films would be seen in the next year, as well.
