2021 - Best Malayalam Films (Critics' Choice)
Because a lot of times we need the perspective of multiple people to come to a meaningful conclusion, I have started this new list of the top films in Mollywood that came out in 2021. You can also browse my other lists here: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur34967775/lists.
The best Malayalam films of 2021 as selected by eminent critics. This list takes into consideration the reviews and ratings by Sify.com, Nowrunning.com (K R Rejeesh and S Mullappilly), Lensmen Reviews (Aswin Bharadwaj S), Film Companion (various reviewers), Veeyen, Silverscreen (Aswathy Gopalakrishnan), The Firstpost (Anna Vetticad), The Hindu (S R Praveen), and New Indian Express (Sajin Shrijith).
The films are updated every second week and are ranked on the basis of their aggregate score, which is a mean value of all the ratings given by the critics. Because not all films are reviewed by every critic, a title is added into this list only if it has been reviewed by five or more people/publications (including me). So, in essence, all Malayalam films releasing between January 2021 and December 2021 (both in theatres and online) will be considered by these ten critics + me.
