Offbeat Malayalam films on Sun NXT
Double Barrel
The film centres on two thugs who accidentally set off a gang war over a pair of diamonds. A stellar set of popular actors among the cast as well as an insane storytelling style that Malayalis are not used to makes Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Double Barrel stand out among his other works. Though the film failed to impress the audience, it is worth a watch for someone who likes to binge on a parody gangster movie once in a while.
Chirakodinja Kinavukal
The movie revolves around two criminals who unintentionally start a gang conflict over two diamonds. Lijo Jose Pellissery's Double Barrel stands out among his other works due to a fantastic cast of well-known actors and an insane storytelling style that Malayalis are not accustomed to. Even though the movie failed to win over the audience, it is still worth seeing if you enjoy watching parodies of gangster films occasionally.
Mahaveeryar
The theft of a temple idol is brought against an ascetic. He argues for himself, removing each ambiguity and revealing the bias in the process. By means of his defence, he also elucidates the role that time has played, ultimately drawing a comparison with another case concerning an 18th-century monarch who had requested his minister to find the most attractive girl in the kingdom for him.
Tharangam
The film is worth seeing because of its distinctive narrating style, which expertly strikes a balance between the unusual dark comedy and romance, mystery, and action elements. The audience experiences excitement or uncertainty, depending on the intriguing scenes that are unfolding. Tovino Thomas and Balu Varghese both delivered excellent performances and the ideal amount of humour in this film.
Ithihasa
This fantasy comedy film tells the tales of two individuals: a software engineer and a thief. Their lives become complicated when a ring's magic causes their bodies to switch places. The majority of the story revolves around the crazy episodes that the new situation causes in both of their lives.
