The Evolution of Malayalam Movie Scripts
Malayalam cinema, known for its realism and strong narratives, has evolved remarkably over the decades. Early Malayalam films were largely influenced by literature and theatrical plays, often focusing on family dramas and social issues. The 1980s and 90s saw a golden era with a focus on middle-class life, complex characters, and subtle storytelling, led by master directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan and Padmarajan. In recent years, Mollywood has embraced more diverse themes, including thrillers, dark comedies, and experimental narratives, driven by a new wave of filmmakers who blend traditional storytelling with modern sensibilities.
