The first Malayalam film, "Balan," was released in 1938. However, it was the 1950s and 1960s that saw the rise of Malayalam cinema, with films like "Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu" (1953) and "Chemmeen" (1965). These films showcased the lives of common people, their struggles, and their relationships.

Malayalam cinema succeeds because it refuses to exoticize Kerala. It doesn't see the backwaters as a romantic postcard; it sees them as a waterlogged reality where boats capsize and lovers drown. It doesn't see Onam as a colorful festival; it sees it as a myth wrapped in feudal debt.
