Malayalam
film
industry

witnessed
the
arrival
of
a
good
number
of
movies,
which
have
imparted
a
patriotic
feel
into
the
minds
of
the
audiences.
Even
in
the
1980s
and
the
1990s,
there
came
a
lot
of
Malayalam
movies,
which
stayed
true
to
the
genre.
We
have
had
a
good
number
of
military
based
movies
and
historic
movies,
which
are
widely
regarded
as
the
most
patriotic
Malayalam
movies
ever
made.
On
this
Independence
day,
we
take
you
through
two
Malayalam
movies
of
this
century
so
far,
which
would
definitely
feature
among
the
best
patriotic
movies
of
all
time.

Keerthichakra
This
Mohanlal
starrer
marked
the
directorial
debut
of
Major
Ravi.
In
fact,
Keerthichakra
turned
out
to
be
one
among
the
very
few
Malayalam
movies
that
told
the
right
story
of
the
dedication,
the
struggles
as
well
as
the
hard
work
of
the
army
men.
Be
it
the
dialogues
or
the
well-shot
fight
sequences,
Keerthichakra
was
a
notch
higher
than
many
of
the
army
based
movies
that
the
film
industry
had
witnessed.
It
was
also
able
to
impart
that
patriotic
feel
to
the
audiences.
The
Much
Loved
Character
In
fact,
the
character
Major
Mahadevan
played
by
Mohanlal
in
the
film
earned
a
cult
status
and
later,
three
more
films
were
made
with
this
character
in
the
lead
role.
The
character
Major
mahadevan
would
definitely
feature
among
the
best
roles
of
Mohanlal
so
far.
Rightly,
Keerthichakra
emerged
as
a
big
box
office
success
and
also
made
an
impact
in
the
award
circuits.
Pazhassi
Raja
It
was
in
the
year
2009
that
Pazhassi
Raja,
starring
Mammootty
in
the
lead
role
had
hit
the
theatres.
Back
in
2009,
this
film
that
narrated
the
tale
of
Kerala's
warrier
prince
who
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
first
freedom

from
this
land,
was
the
most
expensive
Malayalam
movie
ever
made.
The
film,
directed
by

Nair
was
high

the
efforts
put
in

fought
for
the
independence
of
the
country
and
his
major
contributions.
