If you can follow the language well,
watch,
Vaddaku noki yanthram (based on a real life incident of a husband with inferiority complex. Srinivasan is at his best in direction, script & acting)
Pappan Priyapetta Pappan (Comedy- I loved it)
Meesa Madhavan (Comedy- I would call it a collection of pjs...An entertainer, anyway and great songs)
Gandhinagar 2nd street (Mohanlal-Srini team obviously means FUN!)
Mr Butler (Dilip's comedy- good but the story gets rather bizzare towards in the end)
swapnalokathe balabhaskaran ( funny- I recommend this one )
Aniyan Bhava, Chettan Bhava ( Its really a comedy of errors! Fun!)
Peru mazhakaalam ( A classic Kamal Picture)
Thalavattom (I recommend this one- Nice film)
Yodha ( 3 cheers for the movie & my all time favorite Actor, Jagathy Sreekumar. A must watch!!!!!)
Chinthavishtaaya Shyamala ( Another of Srini's Triple Act- Dir, Act & Script- Veryvery good!)
Toovana Tumbigal - (When its a Padmarajan Movie, you don't need to ask anyone whether it will be good)
The same goes for Nammukku Paarakam Munthiri Thoppugal
Ishtam ( a lovely movie with comedy, songs and above all the relationship between a father & son. You'll love it!)
Nokkatha Doorathu Kannum Nattu- A nice Fazil Movie.
Vellanakaludey nadu - This is one of Lal's movies from the 80's, which had comedy rolled inside a social issue. Nice.
Minnaram - Ok- If you like the Lal gimmicks!
Kaikudunna nilavu- Could have been a better movie but somewhere something's amiss- Average.
Summer in Bethelhem- Manju Warrior is at her best! A lovely entertainer by Sibi Malayil.
Malayali mamannu Vanakkam- A comedy film by Jayaram- Rajasenan. Kalabhavan Mani as "Perumal" is at his best!. Mani prooves that he can handle 'serious roles" with as much ease as comedy ones.
Niram - A coulourful, campus Movie. But this is one Kamal movie that I HATED! This movie gives the wrong impression that a man & woman cannot be just friends. I didn't like the concept. Great songs and interesting star cast.
Kalyanaraman - Entertaining love story.
Chronic bachelor - Good one. Now, why does this man grow younger & more handsome by the day? You know who- Mamooty!
Muthaaram kunnu P O - Comedy! Good one.
Panjabi house - Colourful & Entertaining.
Rakshasa rajavu - If you like Larger than Life stuff, here's that for you. But one could watch it just to see the awesome screen presence of Mamootty. Meena as usual is a charming dove.
Raavana prabhu - The sequel of "DevaAsuram". Something like Kane & Abel. A fight between two powwerful ppl! Good though.
Bootha kannai- Classic! Mammooty is his best as a schizophrenic. A beautiful, Lohitdas Movie
Yathra karudey sradhaykku - I loved this one. Sathyan Anthikad never disappoints his audience.
Chandramudikunna dikkil- Average.
I hope I've been of help, Girish. These are the movies I would recommend.

Thanks a lot Niranjana, of course you have been of great help
more than I expected since you just did not mention if the
movie was good or bad but gave a short one line review
for each movie you know which really helps a lot.
Many people about whom you have mentioned, I dont know
really such as Dir.Kamal, Dilip etc. I have not seen more than 15
malayalam movies, the ones I can remember are
Chanakyan, Yatra, New Delhi times, CBI diary -first part,
Amaram, Vandanam, Chitram, In Hariharan nagar, No.20 M.Mail,
One M.Lal movie in which he acts as a commando,
One movie based on dowry subject with Thilakan and Parvathi- Do
you know the name of this movie?
I can understand the language to manageable
extent, not very well, but I am really keen to watch good
Malayalam movies.
Appreciate your help. Here are a few more, can you please
give your comments on the ones you know?
Jalosalvam, Mekhmalar, Aanvaal mothiram, Iruvattom manavatti,
Vallyettan, Thekkekara
Have a nice weekend.
Regards
Malayali mammannu Vanakkam
"Why then, me thinks it's time to smile again!" Said the jovial Viola in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. And by what she has said, I think, it's time we all smiled or rather laughed heartily, seeing Rajasenan's latest film, Malayali Mammanu Vanakkam.
Kuttan (Jayaram) and Revathy (Suja Karthika) disappear for a while on their engagement day and cause a little confusion and worry. Kuttan's mother (Sri Vidya) expresses a strong desire to see her daughter, whom she hasn't seen for the past 20 years. Inorder to bring his sister for his wedding, Kuttan and Keshumamman (Jagathy) sets forth to Tamil Nadu. Kuttan's sister, who is considered an outcast in the family, is actually an innocent woman who had to elope with a Tamilian because of her sadist husband.
Kuttan and Keshumamman, in their search for the former's elder sister, encounter a couple of hilarious situations. And as luck would have it, they land themselves at Tirupathi Perumal's (Kuttan's brother-in-law) house. Kuttan's niece, Parvathy (Roja) falls in love with her uncle (it is customary among Tamilians to marry their uncles) and chases him round the clock. Perumal (Kalabhavan Mani) has already decided to marry her off to his nephew, Kannaiya (Prabhu), who is a well- known rowdy in the area. Parvathy goes with Kuttan to Kerala, as per her mother's decision. Perumal tells Kannaiya that he will consent to the wedding of Parvathy and Kanaiya, only if the latter goes and cuts off Kuttan's leg to avenge for what his father-in-law had done to him, long ago.
Kannaiya sets of to Kerala and series of events comes up, thus bonding the friendship between Kannaiya and Kuttan. Her maternal relatives advice Parvathy that to marry an uncle is wrong. And overnight, she falls in love with Kannaiya, of course, being brainwashed by Kuttamamma several times. The weddings of Kuttan and Revathy and Kannaiya and Parvathy are arranged.
Perumal comes for the twin weddings, with his passion for revenge stronger than ever and creates a scene at the wedding, giving a twist to the climax. And finally gives in before tears and pleas and decides to forget burning memories of a distant past and forgives all and seeks forgiveness himself.
An entertainer by Rajasenan has never failed to make the audience laugh, though 2 of his previous movies didn't really make a mark. Malayali Mammanu Vanakkam is humorous, lively and entertaining. The music and dance are peppy, playful and in Tamil style.
I would say that the most outstanding in the star cast is none other than the versatile Kalabhavan Mani as Tirupathi Perumal. Mani portrays an innocent Tamilian, whose leg was cut off only because he tried to save a poor woman. This painful incident turns him into a sadist and a lover of violence and revenge. Mani is natural and brilliant in his acting. Chubby, cuddly Prabhu and Roja are cute pair. Jayaram is good enough.
On the whole, Malayali Mammanu Vanakkam is a lovely film.
Manimathoorile Aayiram Shivaratrigal
Is one of my all time favourite movies. A class film by Fazil. The song "Nettiyil poovulla.........." will remain in your heart forever. Mammootty & Suhasini (w/o Mani Ratnam) make an excellent pair.
