Malayalam cinema’s Q1 2026 was disappointing and heartbreaking, until Aadu 3 saved it | Malayalam News

With the arrival of director Savin SA’s Vaazha 2 on April 2, theatres in Kerala have sprung back to life. The coming-of-age comedy-drama, featuring no film stars in its main cast, has emerged as a bona fide blockbuster and is gearing up to enter the Rs 200 crore club, making it only the fifth Malayalam movie in history to surpass the milestone. For the industry, Vaazha 2’s massive success has been a shot in the arm following an extremely dull three-month period at the start of this year, during which even the most anticipated works failed to leave any impact, and even the one that made some noise at the box office ended up not rising to expectations. A quick look at the movies that hit the screens during the first quarter of 2026, compared to the corresponding period in the last few years (2021-2025), incontrovertibly proves that the first three months were utterly disappointing for Malayalam cinema this time, with nothing substantial to provide respite. Not just big-ticket films, but even quality small movies …

Prakambanam movie review: Ganapathi, Sagar Surya’s horror comedy is fun if you’re willing to overlook its problematic political undertones | Movie-review News

Prakambanam movie review and rating: At a crucial moment, Russia-based exorcist Stanislavski (Rajesh Madhavan) proclaims, “I am going to break all conventional rules of exorcism,” reminding one of the OG psychiatrist Dr Sunny Joseph (Mohanlal) from Manichitrathazhu (1993). Frankly speaking, that’s kind of what director Vijesh Panathur has done in the horror comedy Prakambanam as well; he has broken the genre’s conventions to offer a trippy ride with a septuagenarian ghost. One of the fundamental things Vijesh and screenwriter Sreehari Vadakkan have done to ensure this, which has helped them quite a lot, is to throw logic out the window and just go with the flow, introducing and executing elements that sound and appear either funny or intriguing, thus preventing the movie from being weighed down by the clichés of horror comedy. Thanks to the makers’ conviction in their illogicality, these elements never appear out of place in Prakambanam and instead help it. Rukmini alias Chembakathamma (Mallika Sukumaran) is the matriarch of an elite Hindu family in northern Kerala. Although she is a staunch theist and …
