1. "Baba Kalyani": Mohanlal ends 2006 with a hit. The film had a weak storyline, but director Shaji Kailas packaged the star right and it appealed to his fans.

2. "Palunku": Director Blessy keeps his stamp of focusing on the nuclear family in this film too. Mammootty gives a stellar performance, making it a winner.

3. "Notebook": The misadventures of three girls in a boarding school provide the story for this film directed by Rosshan Andrrews. It moves up one place this time around.

4. "Smart City": Suresh Gopi keeps churning out political thrillers at regular intervals. "Smart City", directed by newcomer B. Unnikrishnan, is just an addition to that list.

5. "Kanaka Simhasanam": Jayaram unites with his favourite director Rajasenan to make a comedy film on the travails of a drama troupe owner, but the story goes awry in the process.
