Watched Thudarum (Malayalam) in theatre - Rating 4.5/5

Went for afternoon show and ~ 30% of the audience were 50+ age group.

Caught up 3 malayalam movies on Amazon Prime recently.

ED (Extra Decent)
Good premise but I felt that the execution left a lot to be desired. Promoted as a dark comedy, but it lacks the nuance and subtelty that is needed to elevate a movie of this genre. Couldn't help draw some parallels with FaFa's Joji and that only helped to lower the experience. Would recommend only if you have time to kill.

Am. Ah
Great location and good acting but it almost felt like some crucial bits in the middle were missed. I don't know if it's an issue with the version on Prime but they had a cliffhanger intermission which was not pursued post that. Recommendation same as above.

I am Kathalan
Best of the lot for me. Intresting take on hacking where the hacker is no anti social evil genius but an average guy exploiting very real life like security lapses. Felt that the makers did a good job of explaining technology to a lay person. However, the ending was a bit rushed and the main protagonist not going through a convincing redemption arc felt like a cop out. It's a very short movie that i would recommend to anyone interested in tech.
