This could change, as four films are scheduled to hit the screens today (January 23).
Here's looking at the releases.
Mili
Director Rajesh Pillai changed the conventional pattern of narration in films with Traffic.
In his current release Mili, Amala Paul plays the title role.
She plays an introverted girl, whose life changes after she meets Naneen (Nivin Pauly).
Mariyam Mukku
James Albert, who scripted the fantastic Classmates, makes his debut as director with Mariyam Mukku.
According to the director, it’s a love story between a fisherman, played by Fahadh Faasil, and debutante Sana Althaf.
Picket 43
Prithviraj plays Hareendran Nair, a soldier in Major Ravi’s Picket 43, posted on the border.
In the snow-clad hills, he begins an unlikely friendship with a Pakistani soldier on the other side of the border.
Bollywood actor Javed Jaffrey plays the Pakistani soldier.
Rasam
Indrajith plays the lead in director Rajeevnath’s Rasam, which is about food.
