It’s a bumper Onam season for Mollywood this year. While the past two years didn’t have any releases during the festive season due to the pandemic lockdowns, this time four huge releases are set to hit theatres.

While Mammootty and Mohanlal have given the Onam season a miss, fans have enough reasons to cheer for with four big and different films such as Prithviraj Sukumaran and Nayanthara’s Gold, Kunchacko Boban and Arvind Swami’s Ottu, Siju Wilson’s Pathonpathaam Noottaandu and Basil Joseph’s Paaltu Jaanwar set to release in the first two weeks of September.

The first two of these will be Ottu and Paaltu Jaanwar, which will hit theatres on September 2. Ottu, which is helmed by Theevandi director Fellini TP, is an action-thriller that will mark the comeback of Arvind Swami and Jackie Shroff to Malayalam. The big budget film, which also has Eesha Rabba and Amalda Liz, has been shot in Kerala, Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai and Pune, and revolves around a road trip of its protagonists that unravels a lot of secrets.

Basil Joseph’s Paaltu Jaanwar is a comedy-entertainer that has a cow as a central character. The film, which is helmed by debutant Sangeet P Rajan, also has Dileesh Pothan, Johnny Antony and Indrans in pivotal roles. The movie is produced by Bhavana Studios.

On September 8, Onam Day, Prithviraj’s Gold, which is Premam director Alphonse Puthren’s first film since the 2015 blockbuster, will hit theatres. The movie, which is touted to be a dark comedy-thriller, has a host of stars including Nayanthara, Lalu Alex, Roshan Mathew, Jagadeesh, Shabareesh Varma, Chemban Vinod Jose and Deepti Sati as part of its cast.

Pathonpathaam Noottaandu, meanwhile, is the biggest film in Siju Wilson’s career. The period action thriller, which is helmed by Vinayan, tells the story of social reformer and warrior Arattupuzha Velayudha Panicker. The movie also has Sudev Nair, Deepti Sati, Anoop Menon, Chemban Vinod Jose and Poonam Bajwa in pivotal roles.

Oru Thekkan Thallu Case, starring Biju Menon, Roshan Mathew, Nimisha Sajayan and Padmapriya, will also hit theatres on September 8. The period film, which is directed by Sreejith N, is based on GR Indugopan’s Ammini Pilla Vettu Case.
