CID Moosa
Malayalam actor Dileep stars in the titular role of CID Moosa. The film revolves around Sahadevan who decides to become a private detective after he fails to become a police officer. Director Johny Antony's film has a cartoonish vibe to it, with oddball characters, their misadventures and chaotic fun. The scenes between Sahadevan and his brother-in-law SI Peethambaran (Jagathy Sreekumar) are a hoot. Harisree Ashokan, Cochin Haneefa, Salim Kumar, Captain Raju, and Oduvil Unnikrishnan play other hilarious roles.
Chotta Mumbai
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal headlines this vibrant film as Vasco or Thala, as his friends call him. Thala and his motley gang of friends spend their time in Fort Kochi, making money through minor but fraudulent activities. Bhavana appears as Lata in this 2007 film, which is now creating waves at theatres upon its re-release. Songs such as 'Thala', 'Vasco Da Gama' and even the yesteryear 'Chettikulangara', featuring Mohanlal in a fluorescent pink, are still popular.
Amar Akbar Antony
The trio of Prithviraj Sukumaran, Jayasurya and Indrajith lead this film as happy-go-lucky chaps from Kochi. The Nadirshah directorial tracks the youths as they try to woo girls, juggle odd jobs and dream of going to Pattaya. With an ensemble supporting cast, including Namitha Pramod, Saju Navodaya, Kalabhavan Shajohn, Meenakshi Anoop, Srindha, KPAC Lalitha, and Abu Salim, the film features several laugh-out-loud moments.
