1. 'Karutha Pakshikal': Mammootty, in a realistic character after a long while under Kamal's baton, puts the film on the top of this list.

2. Classmates : The youth-oriented film still holds its position, with director Lal Jose hogging the limelight.

3. 'Vasthavam': This Prithviraj film has received a good response. This is a boost for young director M. Padmakumar.

4. 'Pothen Vava': This seems to be the last Mammootty film with a comic streak, as his next couple of films are serious in mood.

5. 'Chakkaramuthu': The makers of this film changed the title to 'Chakkarapottan' as well as the climax. But whether this has improved the box-office returns of this Dileep film is debatable.
