Here is a closer look at the movies.
Madirasi

Kurbaan Films and Campus Oaks are producing Chapters, directed by Sunil Ibrahim.
The film has Nivin Pauly, Rejeth Menon, Sreenivasan, Hemanth, Gauthami Nair and KPAC Lalitha in the lead roles.
"I can't say which genre the film begins to," says Sunil Ibrahim.
"Here certain situations are being narrated and the film is about the reactions of the characters to those happenings. Though some of the characters never meet, there is a link that connects them all. The basic element here is that there are certain unknown persons or events that influence our lives," he says.
Krish Kymal is the cinematographer and Mejo Joseph scores the music.
