Must-watch Malayalam films on ZEE5

Moothon

The movie follows teenager Mulla, who grows up in Lakshadweep, as he attempts to discover what happened to his older brother Akbar. The movie demonstrates to viewers how cruel and unpleasant events can turn this ostensibly heartwarming journey of self-discovery. This is a bold movie that will get you to reflect. In the last scenes, Mulla is shown embracing who she really is and living in Mumbai's chawls with a transgender woman.

Hey Jude

Jude, who has autism spectrum disorder, is the main character of Hey Jude. His thought processes seem opaque to those outside of him. However, unforeseen events occur to him, bringing him to unfamiliar locations and providing him with experiences he never would have imagined, assisting him in overcoming his shyness and pursuing a career in oceanography, his area of interest.

Operation Java

The public gave the movie overwhelmingly positive reviews. Even without any major stars of the industry, Operation Java's plot and supporting cast members did a fantastic job of capturing audiences' interest. Rather than concentrate on a single crime, the director chose to use multiple subplots to explore a range of cases, including theft, murder, job fraud, and movie piracy, increasing its suspenseful aspect.

Prathi Poovankozhi

With an emotionally charged performance, Manju Warrier elevates this thriller drama about a textile saleswoman named Madhuri who wants to seek revenge on her molester. The gripping thriller is entertaining to watch thanks to Rosshan Andrews's direction and excellent writing. Additionally, there are a few scenes in the movie that resonate well with viewers.

Vaanku

The main character of the movie is Razia, a college student who hopes to recite the Islamic summons to prayer only once in her lifetime. Vaanku is a bold film that tackles sexism in families in a society where it is difficult to question accepted religious restrictions. It also examines personal choices, and gender discrimination that persist in the modern era.
