Why it is a go-to:
On the other end of the spectrum lies Lucifer (2019), a political action thriller that demonstrates the star power of Mohanlal. Directed by actor-turned-politician Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film is a grand, larger-than-life spectacle. It deals with the power vacuum created by the death of a political leader and the ensuing battle for supremacy. While the plot is high-stakes, the film is celebrated for its clever writing, mass appeal, and technical finesse. It avoids the common pitfalls of commercial cinema by maintaining a logical narrative flow despite the dramatic flair. Lucifer is the definitive "mass" movie in Malayalam, executed with a style and panache that sets a high benchmark for political dramas. 5 go malayalam movies top
