Well,
we
are
almost
5
months
down
in
the
year
of
2017
and
we
witnessed
a
good
number
of
Malayalam
movies
making
it
to
the
theatres.
Unlike
the
previous
years,
young
and
debut
film-makers
have
ruled
the
initial
portion
of
the
year.
At
the
same
time,
we
got
to
witness
some
of
the
Malayalam
movies
of
the
senior
and
experienced
film-makers
of
Mollywood.
But,
it
has
to
be
said
that
the
year
so
far,
hasn't
been
a
good
one
for
senior
film-makers
as
most
of
them
fumbled
with
their
products.
Here,
we
list
out
some
of
the
experienced
film-makers
and
their
Malayalam
movies,
which
disappointed
us
in
the
year,
so
far..
Siddique
-
Fukri
Film-maker
Siddique
who
had
given
us
some
movies
to
treasure
in
the
past,
came
up
with
the
much-awaited
movie
Fukri,
which
marked
his
first
association
with
actor
Jayasurya.
Disappointingly,
the
film
was
a
poor
show
filled
with
whole
load
of
cliche
elements.
Even
the
comedy
sequences,
the
stronghold
of
Siddique
movies,
failed
to
make
any
impact.
Altogether,
Fukri
turned
out
to
be
a
forgettable
venture
from
the
man
with
the
Midas
touch.
We
definitely
hope
that
he
will
make
it
up
for
all
with
his
next
directorial
venture.
Ranjith
-
Puthan
Panam
Ranjith,
the
man
who
has
given
the
industry
some
gems
like
Paleri
Manikyam,
Pranchiyettan
&
The
Saint
and
many
more,
started
off
the
year
with
Puthan
Panam,
which
was
one
among
the
major
releases
of
the
Vishu
season.
Much
was
expected
from
this
film,
which
had
taken
up
one
of
the
most
recent
economic
development
as
its
core
theme.
But,
Ranjith
faltered
to
hit
the
right
chords
and
came
up
with
a
film
which
looked
nothing
more
than
a
confused
attempt.
Major
Ravi
–
1971
Beyond
Borders
Major
Ravi,
the
film-maker
started
off
his
career
in
the
early
2000's.
The
director
in
him
has
gained
reputation
by
making
some
well-crafted
army
based
movies.
And
in
2017,
he
reunited
with
Mohanlal
to
bring
back
the
iconic
character
Major
Mahadevan,
with
the
film
1971
Beyond
Borders.
Despite
getting
a
good
theme,
the
film-maker
in
him
failed
to
make
any
impact
with
this
half-baked
attempt.
The
film
was
nothing
more
than
a
mix
of
his
previous
ventures
and
the
viewers
who
were
eager
to
watch
something
new
were
left
largely
disappointed.
The
Saving
Grace
While
some
of
the
senior
most
film-makers
disappointed,
certain
others
did
hit
the
right
chords,
as
well.
For
e.g.
Sathyan
Anthikkad
continued
his
fine
run
with
Jomonte
Suviseshangal,
which
emerged
as
a
big
success.
We
saw
the
film-maker
in
him
changing
gears
according
to
the
need
of
the
time.
Similarly,
film-maker
Jayaraj
who
came
up
with
his
film
Veeram
wasn't
able
to
completely
satisfy
the
audiences.
While
some
of
them
praised
his
attempt,
certain
other
sections
criticised
his
work,
as
well.
Well,
the
industry
has
some
big
Malayalam
movies
in
the
offing
for
the
remaining
part
of
the
year
and
we
could
see
experienced
directors
like
Lal
jose,
B
Unnikrishnan
etc.,
coming
up
with
their
projects.
