An art instructor named Balan Mash resides in a small hamlet in Kerala. With two children, a wife, a mother and a revolutionary brother named Gopi, he leads a peaceful life in a typical Keralan joint household. A mentally challenged uncle of Balan Mash. After breaking up with his sweetheart, his uncle had a mental illness. This highlights the family's ingrained belief that one male will develop mental illness for every generation since a member of a previous generation sinned by tossing the idol of "Devi" in a well. The goddess cursed him, turning him insane. There would be a generational transmission of this curse.
When Balan Mash's uncle passed away, "Who would be next" became the topic of conversation. It all changed one night when Balan had a nightmare. Due to the fact that Balan's uncle experienced a mental illness and nightmares, many began to suspect Balan of following in his uncle's path toward insanity. Now, the people in Balan's neighbourhood judge every action he does; they think he's crazy and misinterpret what he's doing. He is eventually admitted to the asylum after his family joins the gang. He is deemed sane by the physician. However, society disagrees. Balan plays the fool because he is powerless. Balan's mother ultimately poisons him to sever him from the outside world.
It won praise from the critics after its debut. Superstition and orthodoxy in rural Kerala attitudes toward mental illness, the disparity in attitudes across generations and the downfall of once-proud Nair joint families are only a few of the subjects covered in the movie. Even now, the screenplay by Lohithadas stands out for its realistic portrayal and scientific veracity.

It takes place in Northern Kerala in the sixteenth century. The event takes place at Puthooram, the legendary Kannappan Chekavar's home. After the boy loses both of his parents, Kannappan Chekavar adopts him and brings him to Puthooram, where he will live and study alongside his relatives. The quick-witted orphan youngster Chandu wins the love and respect of his uncle, but his cousin Aromal Chekavar despises him. Chandu is engaged to Unniyarcha, the daughter of Chekavar, as they get older. Chandu is eventually driven into a corner by his cousin after a series of events. Under the direction of Chekavar Aringodar, a Tulunadan expert and master, he flees to Kali.
This movie, which is frequently regarded as a masterpiece of Malayalam cinema, is based on a subplot of the North Malabar-based medieval poem Vadakkan Pattukal. The narrative retells the life of the fabled Chandu Chekavar, portraying him as an unfortunate, misunderstood but ultimately honourable man as opposed to the treacherous figure who gained him the folkloric moniker Chathiyan Chandu (literally Chandu the Betrayer).
This movie, which is based on Vaikom Muhammad Basheer's autobiographical novella, revolves around the outspoken writer from 1940s India who openly criticises the British Empire's imperialist rule over his country in his writing.

Vaikom starts a regular dialogue with an unseen female prisoner in a nearby prison while he is imprisoned. Love blossoms despite their captivity. Since they cannot see one another due to the high wall separating them, they must come up with creative means of communication. Bashir's love Narayani is portrayed by a female voice but never physically appears in the movie.

Achootty initially dislikes his son-in-law and, after being disappointed, stops speaking to his daughter.
However, over time, the young man demonstrates that he is a skilled and diligent fisherman, earning Achootty's admiration. While not publicly acknowledging this, Achooty continues to harass his son-in-law by telling him to catch a shark and prove himself before he dares to speak to Achooty. The son-in-law finally decides that enough is enough and heads out to sea to catch a shark. He ventures out in his catamaran alone, yet he lacks experience and does it out of sheer audacity. People assume that Achootty, who had also gone to the water that day, killed him at sea when he didn't show up. Everyone is apprehensive about going to the sea to look for him because it is a windy night. Achootty's daughter now believes that her father has murdered her husband. Achootty decides to go to the sea because he has nothing to lose and discovers his son-in-law comatose on the wreckage of his boat. He is saved by Achootty, who returns him to the shore. Although everybody recognises Achootty's innocence, he still feels let down by them. Finally, they show him boarding his boat and heading out into the ocean, which, according to Achootty, is the only thing that has ever loved him unconditionally.

The 2000 Indian feature film Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, which was directed by Jabbar Patel, is multilingual in English and Hindi. Mammootty plays the title character. The movie tells the story of B. R. Ambedkar, who is best known for his contributions to the emancipation of the oppressed castes and, as a result, the oppressed classes in India and for helping to draft the Indian Constitution while serving as the chairman of the Indian Constituent Assembly's Drafting Committee.
In the movie, the years 1901 and 1956 are covered. While Ambedkar's personal life is somewhat brushed over, the movie goes deeper into his life as a reformer. Ambedkar, the first graduate of his untouchable community, is a quiet young man. Even when he travels to New York for additional education, his only worry is that he is there to study and not participate in protests and political concerns. However, his interactions with Afro-Americans, his pro-human rights teachers and the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which grants rights to African Americans, awakened the reformer in him.
Ambedkar fought a social war against the Upper Caste Hindus as Mahatma Gandhi led India's political revolt against British rule. Gandhi and Ambedkar hold opposing ideologies. Nevertheless, Gandhi respected Ambedkar, and it was at his urging that Ambedkar was appointed the first Law Minister during Prime Minister Nehru's administration. The movie closes on a hopeful note with Ambedkar providing millions of untouchables with a different religion in which they can find respect, empathy and equality. He converted to Buddhism after loudly rejecting Hinduism.
The National Film Awards were given to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in 1999 for Best English-language Feature Film Best Actor (Mammootty) and Best Art Direction (Nitin Chandrakant Desai).
