Koothara, a coming-of-age drama directed by Srinath Rajendran (known for Kurup), chronicles the struggles of three friends who have faced repeated failures in various endeavors. Eventually, they cross paths with a fisherman called Usthad Salli who sells them a fishing boat. Unfortunately, they discover later that the boat is not worth the amount they paid for and that Usthad had tricked them. Mohanlal's Usthad Salli is a rugged man who appears in ragged clothes. Koothara features Tovino Thomas, Bharath, and Sunny Wayne in lead roles.

Kayamkulam Kochunni

One of the main highlights of the movie, starring Nivin Pauly in the titular role, is the introduction scene of Mohanlal. He essays the role of Ithikkara Pakki in this period drama, which revolves around the story of a popular heroic outlaw, Kayamkulam Kochunni. Mohanlal is exceptional as Pakki, who makes his entry with mesmerizing background music that reminds us of cowboy films. The scenes where Kochunni gets trained by Pakki are quite intense and entertaining. The film is directed by Rosshan Andrews and written by Bobby Sanjay.
