There is a lot of talk and initiative taken towards preserving our language and culture. This applies even to the film industry wherein titles make the key and the first preference is always given to native titles. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with the Malayalam industry.
Most of the titles that are emerging these days in Mollywood are in English and in a way, they remind you of Hollywood titles. Some of the noted examples for that are Sand City, At Once Picket 43, Village Guys, Fireman, White Boys, Compartment, Friendship, The Reporter and others.
The interesting part to note is, the above mentioned movies came only in the year 2015 so you can imagine what percentage of titles are being coined in English. Even some of the top most stars in Mollywood prefer to have their movies in English titles. Well, this is indeed an interesting trend being observed there.
