The top five Malayalam films are:

1."Kaiyoppu" - This is a small film produced and directed by Ranjith with Mammootty portraying a struggling writer, suffering from a writer's block. This film is on top for its excellent theme.

2."Anchil Oraal Arjunan" - After the debacle of "Kanaka Simhasanam" actor Jayaram tries to strike back with the film. Scripted by T.A. Razak, the film promises some substance.

3."Baba Kalyani" - Mohanlal's cop saga continues to grab viewership.
Critics may have had problems with it but the masses have lapped up the movie.

4."Palunku" - Mammootty dons the garb of a farmer who tries to get accustomed to an urban lifestyle. Blessy impresses with his directorial skills.

5."Notebook" - Director Rosshan Andrrews' efforts to show the trauma of teenagers growing up in a boarding school may not have gone down well with the masses. But it has managed to generate a buzz.
