Malaikottai Vaaliban is unique in Indian cinema, according to Mohanlal, because it isn't based on any particular era or setting. “The technique used to make this film is intriguing and opens up novel possibilities for filmmakers. Every element in the movie fits perfectly with Lijo's viewpoint," he remarked.
