Malayalam New Comedy Movies 2024: Fix
Don't let the police station setting fool you—this is a dark comedy about two incompetent cops trying to solve a suicide case while blaming each other. The humor comes from bureaucratic red tape, ego clashes, and "honest" corruption. What works: Biju Menon’s deadpan delivery of insults and Asif Ali’s frustrated rants. The interrogation scenes where they accidentally gaslight the witness are brilliantly written. Verdict: If you like Nadodikkattu -style cynical humor, this works. Slow in the middle, but the climax is a laugh riot.
2024 has been a landmark year for the Malayalam film industry ("Mollywood"). While the year has seen massive pan-Indian blockbusters like Manjummel Boys and Aavesham , the comedy genre has evolved significantly. Unlike previous years which relied heavily on slapstick, 2024 has favored "Comic Thrillers" and "Dark Comedies."

Director Vineeth Sreenivasan takes us back to the 80s/90s film industry. The first half, following two struggling friends in Madras, is peak comedy—silent film gags, mistaken identities, and Dhyan Sreenivasan stealing the show as a perpetually drunk, failed scriptwriter. What works: The "Maanathe Maarikurumbi" song picturization and the Nivin Pauly cameo (playing a caricature of a superstar) are side-splitting. The catch: The second half shifts to melodrama, which frustrated comedy lovers. Verdict: Watch the first half for the laughs; stay for the nostalgia.
