It's hard to pick from the three festive - Eid and Vishu - releases this week. All three films, Varshangalkku Shesham, Aavesham and Jai Ganesh cater have enough to appeal to all sections of the audience, and also continue Malayalam cinema's golden run at the box office that kickstarted with films such as Premalu and Manjummel Boys. While Varshangalkku Shesham and Jai Ganesh would also appeal to the family audience, Aavesham promises to be a fun ride for youngsters with Fahadh Faasil's new and entertaining avatar as well as comedy and action. If you are the kind who prefers to spend your long weekend indoors, then there's Premalu streaming on Disney+ Hotstar in Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi and on aha and OTTplay Premium in Telugu.
