Don’t sleep on Padmini . The premise is a farce writer’s dream: A struggling lyricist (Kunchacko Boban) gets a job as a "dance teacher" at a ladies' hostel. To keep the job, he pretends his wife (Aparna) is his sister, and his actual sister (Vincy) is his wife. Naturally, everything collides during a single night.
For a while there, it felt like the golden age of Malayalam comedy—the era of In Harihar Nagar , Ramji Rao Speaking , and Mazhavil Kavadi —was a distant memory. The 2010s brought in brilliant realistic dramas and thrillers, but laugh-out-loud entertainers were rare. recent malayalam comedy movies
The "Welcome to Bangalore" sequence where Ranga’s entrance terrifies everyone except the boys, who think he is just a cool uncle. 2. Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024) – The Family Roast Director: Vipin Das Starring: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Basil Joseph, Nikhila Vimal
This is a sharp, witty satire on "influencer culture" and marital expectations. A man lies to his foreign-returned bride that he owns a massive fort. To keep the lie alive, he hires a gang of local drama artistes to pretend to be his royal staff. Did you enjoy Nadikar or Thallumaala (2022 counts as recent
It captures the "Gen Z/ Millennial" cringe perfectly. The dialogue feels improvised. The humor is in the details: the confusion of changing OTPs, the friend who gives terrible advice (Amal Davis is a scene-stealer), and the sheer awkwardness of asking someone out on Instagram.

Sharaf U Dheen’s deadpan delivery is perfect. The fake "royal" rituals and the fabricated traditions the characters invent on the spot are laugh-out-loud funny. It mocks how much we fake for Instagram and marriage.
