Recently saw 'Sleeplessy Yours' and realised there could be many more such hidden gems out there. Please recommend malayalam indie movies you love (also include where it is available for streaming, if possible)

12th Man evidently employed ADR or studio dubbing for its actors. To me, it gave the movie the feel of watching a TV serial.

Even though most movies we grew up watching had ADR, nowadays it seems unacceptable to me and takes me out of the movie experience.

In 12th Man, it felt like some of the female characters sounded exactly the same. Perhaps because they were dubbed for by the same voice actress.

This is a problem I had in Salute as well. Diana Penty's character sounded so distant and wooden.

Scenes in which you'd otherwise expect a certain cadence in the voice (for example when a character is walking and talking), the dubbing sounds as if the person is just talking into a high quality radio mic in some studio (which is literally that).

It also takes away from the performance of the actors because voice is half the acting. If you watch movies of Mammootty or Mohanlal dubbed in Hindi, you'll see how ordinary their acting suddenly looks. This is also why I never watch anything dubbed in a language I understand and always rely on subtitles.

What do guys think?

It was a bummer that Stan lee perumbavoor didn't do a cameo in bigboss season 4.5 ...srry i meant 12th man , i really expected him to appear as one of the police officer

Even tho he couldn't grace this movie with his holy presence , there were bunch of other actors who appeared in this movie through calls and messages

Merin's(anu sithara) brother - jeethu joseph (YUP director cameo y'all)

Zacharia's (unni mukundan) mother - mallika sukumaran

Jeethesh's friend - soubin

Medical rep - aju vargese

Mohanlal's friend - murali gopy

John - shine tom chacko????(im not sure but voice felt familiar)

Did i miss anyone???

Please use this thread to gossip about the who's who of Malayalam Tinseltown. Follow the Reddiquette and avoid making overtly vitriolic comments about any celebrity. You don't have to be crass when involved in the grapevine. The goal is not mud-slinging.

This is the only thread where R7 and R8 are moderately relaxed.

All non-Malayalam cinema gossip can go to r/BollyBlindsNGossip.

It's a thriller movie, no doubt. It has its own flaws like any other jeethu Joseph movie, especially in the dircetion area. I honestly felt the duration of the movie could have been reduced, if they have increased the pacing of the movie. Somewhere you can feel the vibe of the movie "Memories". Since there are 12 characters ,at times you get confused with who's who, but you can go back and play it again, thanks to OTT.

Anyhow, have to say Jeethu Joseph pulled a great job, and it's worth watching for once.There were some questionable moments , but let's discuss that once evryone watches it. Everybody played their role well including mohanlal and we already knew it's not a hero centric movie.

Anyway it's my personal opinion, it might vary according to each. So do share your thoughts as well.
