These people are so humble in my opinion . And one thing I noticed is they are constantly acknowledging the technicians and their hardworks which can never been seen in our bollywood. A lead actor praising child artist ,71 year old supporting artist. I dont remember seeing such things here.

Tovino had opened his home for people on need during the flood. This is God's way of thanking him for his big heart❤

[@rajeevmoothedath8392]

One thing I love is the ease with which Tovino speaks- adding chettan/ other words whenever required without feeling awkward about mixing up Malayalam words, while on national channel.

[@Sahumerchant]

Just like we Telugus add garu wherever required and at all stages...and a hindi guy uses ji frequently...

[@sunnyjacob7350]

What is a national channel? Hindi speaking or English speaking channels? Nobody bothers about Hindi speaking channels in south. For that matter even English channels are not very popular here. For people in south India, all channels are the same and cater to their audience in a language that is understood by that audience.

All these individuals are so rooted to the industry & have passion /urge to do things better in a limited budget is another plus in a way. Kudos to the entire 2018 team. As Tovi rightly mentioned now a days people wait for the streaming platforms to watch the movies but he pitched it so straight that I have decided to watch the movie with my family soon. All the best guys. Please spread ur message to the universe so that mallu movies are taken up by the distributors world wide. Last but not the least it's this emotional connect the Ketalites showcased during the calamity & this is THE KERALA STORY we want to cherish. Luv u guys

But at some point we lost our path and were driven into commercial trashes. But again we are back home. Imagine when you celebrate bhool bhulayya now we celebrated it in 93. Lyk many there are many many...This is the real kerala story.

[@sijumathew1136]

Also to note, Malayalam cinema has always been story driven and content driven, its just in the recent past that the majority of the crowd are getting to watch cause of the evolution of the way we consume content around. Only if these vehicles and mediums were available back in the days/years, you would still see some gems. What we are seeing in recent times are the just fruits of the past, cause we've had some great writers and directors...Story was always the hero, everything else revolved around it but yes glad that bigger platforms like FC are putting light on Malayalam cinema :)
