The year 2008 was not particularly exciting for the Malayalam film industry. Yet, we saw some good movies, and quite a few blockbusters. We take a look at the best of Malayalam cinema, 2008.
Adayalangal
Director: M G Sasi
Cast: Govind Padmasurya, Jyothirmayee
Adayalangal, based on the life and literature of Nandanar, won quite a few Kerala State film awards including the best film, director and best cinematographer. Govind Padmasurya played Gopi, a young man leading a tough life. Jyothirmayee played the heroine, Meenakshikkutty, who understands him well.
Adayalangal also takes a look on the futility of war and as director M G Sasi puts it 'the leitmotif of the film is hunger, of both body and mind.'
