What
makes
a
road
movie
so
popular
among
the
masses?
The
answer
is
simple,
these
type
of
movies
take
you
for
a
journey,
making
you
think
at
times
and
anxious
at
other
times.
Today,
we
are
going
to
list
some
of
the
best
road
movies
in
Malayalam.
Some
of
the
films
in
this
list
also
fall
into
the
genre
of
a
road
thriller.
Neelakasham
Pachakadal
Chuvanna
Bhoomi
This
film
definitely
falls
into
the
genre
of
road
movies.
The
film
is
about
the
journey
of
Kasi
and
Suni,
covering
various
places.
This
journey,
in
turn
brings
in
some
changes
in
the
outlooks
of
Kasi
played
by
Dulquer
Salmaan.
This
film
directed
by
Sameer
Thahir
is
the
best
example
of
a
road
movie.
Rani
Padmini
Another
movie
that
suits
the
genre
perfectly.
The
film
takes
you
through
the
journey
of
Rani
and
Padmini,
and
some
encounters
that
they
have
while
on
the
journey
to
Himachal
Pradesh.
The
film
directed
by
Aashiq
Abu
stayed
true
to
the
genre,
but
wasn't
a
big
success
at
the
box-office.
Veettilekkulla
Vazhi
This
film
directed
by
Dr
Biju
is
about
a
doctor
who
sets
off
for
a
journey
with
a
kid,
to
find
the
latter's
father.
The
film
had
a
very
strong
content
and
won
wide
acclaim
at
various
festival
circuits.
Bhramaram
Bhramaram
could
be
tagged
as
a
thriller
since
the
movie
progresses
with
a
lot
of
suspense
factors.
Bhramaram,
talks
about
the
mission
of
Sivankutty
to
bring
back
two
of
his
old
friends
to
his
native
place.
The
movie
progresses
as
a
road
thriller
for
most
of
its
duration.
Kali
Yet
another
movie,
which
could
be
categorized
as
a
road
thriller.
The
film
starts
off
in
a
different
fashion
and
with
a
shift
in
the
second
half,
the
film
progresses
as
a
road
movie.
The
film
directed
by
Sameer
Thair
has
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Sai
Pallavi
in
the
lead
roles.
Tamil
and
Hindi
film
industries
have
made
proper
use
of
this
genre.
Interestingly,
Bollywood
has
produced
good
number
of
films
which
could
be
categorized
as
road
movies.
But,
there
are
only
very
few
movies
in
Malayalam
which
could
be
called
as
a
complete
road
movie.
Neelakasham
Pachakadal
Chuvanna
Bhoomi,
is
one
of
the
first
full-length
road
movies
released
in
Malayalam.
Rani
Padmini,
directed
by
Aashiq
Abu
with
Manju
Warrier
and
Rima
Kallingal
in
the
lead
roles
also
falls
into
this
genre.
It
has
to
be
noted
that,
many
road
movies
were
announced
in
the
past.
But,
most
of
them
failed
to
materialize
owing
to
various
reasons.
Interestingly,
Malayalam
cinema
has
witnessed
more
road
thrillers
than
pure
road
movies.
The
movie
Traffic,
was
kind
of
a
road
thriller,
which
dealt
with
a
journey
and
a
mission
to
be
accomplished.
Vineeth
Sreenivasan's
debut
production
venture
Anandham,
which
is
being
directed
by
Ganesh
Raj,
is
said
to
be
about
a
journey
of
college
students
in
a
bus.
