Released right at the start of the year, this Jude Anthany Joseph directorial was a breath of fresh air. Starring Nivin Pauly and Nazriya Nazim, the film was unique because it told a love story largely from the female protagonist's perspective.
The movie was a sleeper hit that relied entirely on witty dialogues and situational comedy rather than star power. It perfectly captured the essence of Kerala’s political landscape through a humorous lens, making it one of the most rewatchable movies of the decade.

Sandwiched between the loud, formulaic masala films of the early 2010s and the critically acclaimed "New Generation" wave that would fully crystallize by the middle of the decade, 2014 was a year of experimentation, box-office surprises, and quiet evolution. It was a year where the old guard struggled to adapt, the middle tier produced some of the most memorable hits, and a new breed of storytellers began to truly find their voice. Far from a vintage year, 2014 was nonetheless a crucial laboratory where the themes and styles of modern Malayalam cinema were stress-tested for a changing audience.
