Malayalam Web Series: Malayalam entertainment has long abandoned the idea that it only pertains to the big screens. Not just that, but it also flourishes in the streaming platforms. There were quite a good number of Malayalam web series released in the past year that broke stereotypes, explored new avenues, and gained national fame. From crime thrillers to the oddest of comedies, these five excelled because of their originality, performances, and storytelling finesse.
Streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, Kerala Crime Files became one of the first-realistic-crime dramas in the Malayalam language within its web series collection. It starred Aju Varghese and Lal, and it laid focus on an intense investigation of a suspicious murder. The audiences viewed this kind of Malayalam noir with unparalleled intensity and narrative detail in police probes, authentic dialogues, and sharp cinematography.
The story is really a chaotic comedy-drama shaped around five friends treading their way through the promised yet difficult adulthood. What made The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang stand out from the myriad of young-comedy-dramas was its humor based on real-life situations and its characters. An easygoing tone combined with emotional depth built quite an instant rapport with audiencies in youth.
Nagendran’s Honeymoons is an audacious yet comedic view of relationships and middle-age ventures, and with Suraj Venjaramoodu in a hilarious yet layered role, the series blends situational comedy with emotional moments for a breath of fresh air in Malayalam OTT storytelling.
Argued in widely acute states by setting within a medical backdrop, 1000 Babies focuses on creating healthcare heroes who go beyond the call of duty themselves. Critics have praised the show for its humane storytelling, backed in emotional writing and grounded realism in themes which struck a node with viewers.
