The days seem long these days. Prime Minister Narendra Modi instructed the citizens to self-quarantine. It is our responsibility to stay in our home for 21 days.

Here's some good news to all quarantined souls out there. It's time to binge-watch those movies you've been meaning to watch. Check out brief movie reviews below and proceed with a bowl of popcorn.
Who said quarantine can't be fun? We are making it easier for you to break the chain with these Malayalam movie recommendations. These films, available on Amazon Prime, have English subtitles too. So even if Malayalam sounds like marbles to you, don't worry, you'll be able to catch up in no time.
Ayyapanum Koshyum Ayyapanum Koshyum (Ayyapan and Koshy) is a blockbuster released earlier this year. The film, directed by Sachy, features Biju Menon and Prithviraj in titular roles. The movie follows enmity and blatant ego between the two. The characters lock horns against the beautiful backdrop of the Ghat forests that border Kerala. Both actors display their acting prowess, keeping the viewer on the edge of their seats. It will be intriguing to watch a minor incident between the characters snowball into major drama.
Kumbalangi Nights One of the best releases of 2019 is available to stream this week. The critically acclaimed film stars Shane Nigam, Soubin Sahir, Anna Ben, Fahad Fazil, Sreenath Bhasi and Mathew Thomas. The story unfurls slowly, unlike most dramas that rush to the finish line. First time director Madhu C Narayanan tells the story of a broken family in the 'wasteland' of Kumbalangi. Fahad Fazil plays the memorable role of Shammi. The character makes the viewer aware of toxic masculinity in society.
Manichitrathaazhu Some movies are labeled as a 'classic' for a reason. 28 years later, Manichitrathaazhu remains as one of the finest pieces of storytelling. Complete with quotable dialogues and memorable scenes, the Shobhana starrer is perfect for movie nights. Plus, you can finally prove to your friends why the movie is way better than Bhool Bhulaiya.
