Which screen will you be in this weekend?
As the post-weekend lull fades, Mollywood is back at the box office with a slate that promises a little something for everyone. This week (April 14–20, 2026), three distinct voices enter the fray—ranging from a quirky investigative thriller to a family drama laced with nostalgia, and an experimental indie that has already stirred festival whispers.
The Plot: Set in the late 90s, a feudal landlord (Jayaram) who despises modern music is forced to sponsor the village’s annual Pooram percussion contest to save his family’s honor. Aishwarya plays his rebellious daughter who secretly forms a fusion band.
The Plot: A silent, black-and-white film about a group of online content moderators in Kochi who begin hallucinating the graphic videos they delete. The film is shot entirely on a mobile phone and runs for only 78 minutes.
Why Watch: This is vintage Ranjith Sankar—small-town emotions with a big heart. The film’s selling point is a 20-minute percussion face-off ( thayambaka ) choreographed by Mattannur Sankarankutty Marar. Expect heavy applause for Indrans’ comic turn as the tone-deaf assistant.
Why Watch: Following the success of forensic dramas like Mukundan Unni Associates and Kooman , this film promises a tighter, dialogue-driven second half. Early reviews praise its non-linear narrative and a tense 12-minute single-shot climax.
Director: Sharan Venugopal (debut) Cast: A cast of 12 anonymous actors, voiced by Fahadh Faasil (narrator only)
Director: Arun Chandran Cast: Asif Ali, Nyla Usha, and newcomer Shreya Menon
