Platform:: Disney+ Hotstar
Genre: Horror Comedy
Cast: Sharaf U Dheen, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Jagadish, Johny Antony

A bachelor goes home den for a little while and is in search of a mother’s seal for his marriage to his beloved only to discover that the said mother has long been dead. Sharaf U Dheen and Aishwarya Lekshmi make a pretty good couple for whom there is a lot to smile about. Director Vaishakh Elans puts together a mix of fear and laughter in a way that finely entertains with twists one would not have expected.
Release Date: February 15, 2025
OTT Release Date: Manorama MAX
Genre: Comedy Drama
Cast: Suraj Venjaramoodu, Grace Antony, Shyam Mohan, Sudheer Karamana
Director: Arun Chandu
“ED – Extra Decent ” is a fusion of a comedy-drama about the concept of social expectations about one’s identity. Suraj Venjaramoodu gives an exceptional performer as a man who conflicts with being “extra decent” for a world that’s filled with hypocrisy. The film is humorous yet incisive and evocative of sharp social reflection on the thought- and entertain-me lines. Grace Antony and Sudheer Karamana fill in the rest, and under the direction of Arun Chandu, have put together an entertaining narrative that should hit home.
The Malayalam film industry keeps experimenting with the genre and going beyond the conventional framework of filmmaking just like that. Whether it is a psychological thriller such as Rudhiram, mystery entanglements like Rekhachithram, or an action series of Marco-presently, this week is replete with varied options for conquering.
Once again, phenomenal performances are what Malayalam cinema can be looked for. Some of today’s biggest names in this industry are Raj B. Shetty, Unni Mukundan, and Aparna Balamurali. These portrayals pave the way to enhancing the storytelling aspect of the film and give value to watching it.
Malayalam films find refuge in OTT and tell stories never told where the audience is, like in the rolling of Greatest Hits or caught-in-the-take ED – Extra Decent. It’s difficult to get out of these traditional cinemas; hence, streaming.
