A lot of movies , a lot of hype. That was the situation of malayalam film industry in 2009. The new age technologies were used a lot in production and marketing of films.

The Icon of Malayalam Film Industry in 2009 turns out to be none other than Oscar Winner Rasool Pookutty. His Oscar winning made “sound mixing” a hot topic for every movie enthusiasts

As Usual “HYPE” was the main hero and “STORY” was the main villain in the Malayalam movie industry in the year 2009. Too much Hype and too less content was the situation of most of the films. with the tv channels competing each other there were room for even the lowest cost film to cast HYPE as the hero. I was disappointed with most of the malayalam films i saw in 2009. The email star wars between the real mad fanatics (you are free to read as fans) was another highlight of the year 2009.

here are some of the good and bad films for me in the year 2009. as Rajeev Masand puts it “the HITS and PITS of 2009 and is not dependent on the rating or box office collection but purely on a personal choice and not in any particular order”. yeah its my personal best and worst malayalam films of 2009. The List is purely based on the movies i personally saw in 2009. it does not include movies like pattanathil bootham, bagavan, angel john etc which were never worth a trailer watching.

My HITS of 2009

1 )  2 Harihar Nagar :   One great sequek to one of  the ever greatest hits in Malayalam.  Bringing back the laughter and comedy in to every single persons mind. an all together well blend movie for any crowd.    Cast : mukesh, jagadeesh, sidhique , ashokan

2) Passenger : A good movie with a very good message and good story. A good marketing would have made it a bigger hit.  cast : srinivasan, dileep

3)  Kerala Cafe : One of the biggest and greatest experiments in malayalam film industry. My Personal choice for best film of the year 2009.  Many argue they dont understand the need of 10 different stories for a film.  but for me it is like reading a collection of short stories.  full marks to Director Ranjith  for making the concept into reality

4) Paleri manikyam  oru paathiraa kolapaathakathinte kadha :    great story and great direction and well supported by good acting . one of the best malayalam film ever seen on screen.   cast : mammootty

5) Bagyadevatha : a good film and a good entertainer . i liked the movie a lot.  The new heroine was good and the entire mood of the moive was excellent  Cast : jayaram, kaniha

The Worst List.

1) Sagar alias jackey Reloaded : One of the most hyped and most disappointing movies of 2009.  It was all hype and no content. The Director should relearn his basics his next film

2) Love in Singapore :  .. Man is bound to do sins .  i did commit a sin by watching this film

3) Neelathamara : not a story to be made a film.  except the song Anuragavilochananaayi there is nothing much to say about this film.  First time it was made a film it wasnt a success and why the hell did they try the same story for second time

4) Rahasya Police :  the only reason i went for this film was becaue i ahd nothing else to do and i regret on my decision.

5) Robinhood : questioning the common sense is what joshy tried with this hilarious movie and its subject. i think the movie went on for few days in theater only because the common sense is not so common.

Tail note : i really wanted to put Pazhassi Raja in the worst List .  but somehow these 5 scored negatives  way ahead of  pazhassi raja. i didn’t like Pazhassi Raja much
