Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has often shared his appreciation for Malayalam films, talking about the risks they take and the original stories that are on display. The filmmaker, who is gearing up for the release of Kennedy, shared his praise for three Malayalam releases from 2025- Rekhachitram, Thudarum and Eko. Rekhachitram, Thudarum and Eko are three Malayalam films which were released in 2025. What Anurag said In an interaction with Tried and Refused Productions, Anurag was asked about the beautiful word-of-mouth praise that exists in the audience. He said, “That is the most magical thing about it because it is one of the most educated and cinephile states. There is a film culture, there are film clubs, filmmakers support each other. If you see a movie like Rekhachitram, where they do not have hesitation… where you are taking the shoot of Bharatan, how Mammootty came… that kind of a support system is not there here.

There could be two explanations for her decision. Here we will try to explore them. Malaathi ‘Mlathi’ Chettathi is the name the locals of Kerala use to refer to Soyi; so we will use her real name throughout this article. Emotional Angle: Relationship Between Soyi & Kuriachan The simplest explanation lies in the emotional bond between Soyi and her second husband. Although Kuriachan had multiple partners and several wives, Soyi never stepped outside their marriage. She genuinely cared for him, a fact that is evident from her conversation with Mohan Pothan, played by Vineeth. After spending decades together, having …
